Here’s Garrison and his roommate after a long hot day moving into his dorm.

They seemed compatible on move-in day. We’ll see how long that lasts.

The dorms have a new arrangement, each side having a bed above a desk to leave more floor space. Its much better than what we saw on the dorm tour or on Chico’s website. The downside is that no matter what your height is, its hard to remember to back up before you stand up from the desk to avoid hitting your head on the underside of the bed.

Pumpkin season is over already. Here’s the biggest one. Only 11.4 pounds and 32 inches around. Look how square it is from above. So much for being an Atlantic Giant.

Here’s the rest of the backyard. The area closest to the camera is where I had the toughest time getting anything to grow, including the Atlantic ‘Giants’. Its also where the crimson clover cover crop was growing over the winter.

But at least the santa claus melons and canary melons are doing well. Look at ‘em spilling over onto the patio. Brandywines and volunteer tomatoes are crowded together behind the melons.

Here’s one of our first watermelons. So small, but so tasty.

It has a split in it like about half of the melons and tomatoes. What on earth is causing this?

And now for a shot of Jack’s man boobs. They’re visible since his fur hasn’t grown back in after a piece of a sponge ball was removed from his duodenum. A week and a half of not eating much caused him to lose a noticeable amount of weight, probably making his man boobs saggier than they were.

My cat has bigger breasts than I do! Should I knit him a manzierre?`

This is Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Best Baby Sweater. This one was made with baby yarn on size three needles so it will fit a small baby. Its as much fun as the 5 hour baby sweater which I believe was based on it.

Not to dwell on this, but here’s a pic of both crunched cars, the beemer and the passat. Just a week or two after the beemer was hit, someone backed up into the passat. At least the latter accident was quickly resolved. We’re still waiting for the resolution of the beemer crash to be finished.
