Taken with my iPod Touch early this morning.
A few Fall photos
Photos from the train trip
Dinner with Jeremayakovka
I had the great pleasure of dining with Jeremayakovka in San Francisco. That means he’s a friend, not just one of the FIHMY, Friends I Haven’t Met Yet. He’s got the photo.
I also like this photo, also from San Francisco:
Why the sweater, coat and scarf in July, you ask? Because it was 55oF in San Francisco, that’s why!
Last evening at BlogHer08
Last night BlogHer08 rounded up with a huge party at Macy’s, where we all had a great time. It was a great conference, and a lot of fun. There’s a video interview of me at the shoe department (imagine that!) which will be up on YouTube (or maybe not). When it turns up I’ll link to it.
I have to thank the fabulous Jane Goowdwin for her wonderful support and her friendship, which made the past four days a very happy experience.
Special thanks also to Morra Aarons-Mele, Lisa Stone and Elisa Camahort Page for inviting me.
Moving the blog has had a lot of bumps and now http://faustasblog.com appears to be down. For the time being, here’s a photo of San Francisco at 6AM today.
The train ride home starts in California right now:

Front yard invasion, today’s items, and the Carnival

The Husband does the gardening (except for the mulching, which was done this week – and trust me, you don’t want to smell the mulch much), and a couple of years ago he planted clematis. Well, the clematis love our front yard and now we have a large patch of clematis ready to take over. The ones in the picture are well over 5′ tall and seem to be spreading.
Let that be a lesson to all of us.
SC 2 Linked To Sami Al-Arian Investigation
There’s been another strange development regarding the searching of a home in the investigation into Yousseff Samir Megahed and Ahmed Abda Mohamed, arrested for allegedly carrying pipe bombs in their vehicle just miles from a military facility in Goose Creek, South Carolina. According to this report, the home was also searched some years back during the investigation into Sami Al-Arian.
Go read the rest.
For some reason the comments aren’t showing under the posts. I have not a clue as to why or what to do, so my apologies for the inconvenience. Hopefully it will fix itself.
