How much rain you might ask? Well the truth is I don't know, because I don't have a rain gauge. Something Aaron says is important to have for a garden to know how much rain your crops are getting. Avoid over or under watering and all that. It's on my list along with shepherd's hooks to hang garden goodies on.
In other news, we are doing the adult thing and sending out change of address cards, complete with our new phone number. Our home phone number. That's right we have opted to get a home phone line through Basic Talk, a Walmart-esque offering of Vonage. So if the power goes out I'm still screwed. But you can't argue with $10 a month. Not to mention I was afforded a numberphile's dream of basically picking my phone number out of all the possible area codes (except of course for new ones including but not limited to Wisconsin's new 534 area code). So I dated to be different and I have a 262 area code. And the best part - the exchange adds up to 15, and the last 4 also add up to 15. It's a cribbage playing numberphile's dream! You can laugh now.
In other other news, yesterday I bought an indoor HD antenna in an effort to keep from having to worship the copper wire cable gods by offering them the oh so low free will gift of $1500 a year. Excitedly I hooked it up to my TV, which first disappointed me by the remote not working and yes. Yes I did put fresh batteries in. Anyhoobastank, so I hooked up the antenna and did a search for channels. Three times. And each of those times got nothing. Irritated, I moved the position of the antenna to a high point in the room between two windows. Did several channel scans and received now anywhere from 1 to a dozen channels. So okay, I thought. Better than nothing. I look to see what channels are afforded me. The result was a frozen WFRV CBS 5 out of Green Bay. A pixelated WBAY TV2 ABC out of Green Bay. Followed by three different PBS's from Green Bay, and a handful of Spanish speaking channels. Now I'm no Donald Trump supporter here with a vendetta against my Hispanic friends, and I can speak Spanish mind you, but not that fast. And I certainly can't comprehend what is being said with as fast as fluent speakers speak it. The last time I watched Spanish TV was in 2004 when I watched Telemundo's telenovela "Gitanas" (who if translates to Gypsies) I will admit that I did enjoy the theatrics of the show but 12 years of being removed from that one time viewing, I mean whatever happened to the characters? So now, it's going to be a combination of Netflix and Hulu plus or Amazon Prime for this household. I don't need super premium yum yum TV from cable with 900 channels of I will never watch this. It's like putting me in front of a football field size dessert table. I'll never eat it all even though there's a bunch of fun things to eat. And I definitely don't want to pay upwards of $150 a month to be afforded access to said desserts. It's just too much on all accounts. Plus I have a Roku box which gives me access to among other things, Netflix. Yes I'll take the card table sized dessert table access for $25 a month. Considering I already have the hardware, why not? Alas, it's back to Target to return the antenna. Thank God for the 29 day return policy. Why 29 days though? What kind of arbitrary number is that? Overthinking is one of my strong suits.
So I was going to include pictures in this entry but I think what I will do is make a separate entry just for them. That way I can publish this now, and let you all read it.
