Had to adjust the settings for comments

Hi, fans, I set the comment setting to require a google id, sorry to have to clamp down but I keep waking up to 20 spammy comments and it's taking me too much time to remove them. Hopefully we can go back to normal later when they go away.

I've been busy again

I'm not sure where the time flies. The kid is going to be 12.

The garden is in again, 22 tomato plants, 12 pepper plants and oodles of squash and cucumbers. I'm going to move my gardening talk to Suburban Vegetable Gardener.

And for Los Gatos. Ok, I'm supporting Mike Wasserman for County Supervisor. Why? Because he's a great guy, a fiscal conservative, and in these odd times of money getting swiped by the state and feds, I want someone smart steering the county.
