Another beautiful day here, but I spent the day working inside.
One funny thing- several people emailed me reminding me to get poop bags for walking the dog, and that made me laugh, because those really don’t get used. I don’t know if they even sell pooper scoopers in West Virginia. We have grass and trees, ya’ know, which work pretty well. I guess I will check the pet store and see if they have them in case I am ever in a city.
Mom and dad send along this picture of Ginny sulking in the bushes. Apparently she gets really moody when they put the harness on her, and will run off and pout:

It will never ever stop raining. Ever.

I’m going to the beach town of Viareggio for the day. I read that Shelley died off the coast of the town (as you may know, it was very popular for English poets to die in Italy during the 19th century). Leafing through his wiki I found this (here are other references):
The day after Shelley’s death, the Tory newspaper The Courier gloated: “Shelley, the writer of some infidel poetry, has been drowned, now he knows whether there is a God or not.”
