Hi, Animaterra!

I live in Nottingham on the side of a hill in the middle of 33 acres of trees (oh, and rock). (Jeri's a coupla miles up the road.) But mostly I'm in Portsmouth in a room full of windows with inadequate to the point of being non-existant air conditioning and a bunch of computers/printers/copiers, etcet throwing out heat -- where the sea breeze doesn't hit, but the heat off the Islington St. blacktop and automobiles does.

I haven't tromped lately through the sheep field just up the hill from me (I'm on the well-drained south slope), but I would imagine the haying, etc. isn't going to be that great.
