I'm back from a run to the e-waste collection event at my old campus, part of their annual Earth Day activities. About 20 pounds of small electronics, batteries, plus old house phone wire and coaxial cable (with copper wire inside) were dropped off. These had accumulated over a year in bags in the pantry. I also weeded out old not-very-good computer speakers that I'd kept because they still worked, but they were too low power. That clears a little space in the office shelving and I should reorganize in there.

Since I was already there, a visit to the U bookstore bagged a couple of university branded t-shirts in my current size. The others from years past are so big they're only worn to sleep in or for yard work. I'm especially happy to revive the logo as part of my personal brand now that the awful dean who made life a misery for so many people has departed. (There was no reception offered by campus and she didn't want one in the library - she had a cake delivered to her office for drop-in visitors and the report I heard said there was a lot of leftover cake. And even better - one of her flying monkeys announced her imminent departure for a new job soon. The rats are fleeing that ship as rational people once again take command.)

Now, into the garden.
