Thursday here and there

From mid to late August, the mushrooms known as Boletus bicolor appear; they are one of the prettiest fungi with red caps and stems with bright yellow pores underneath. When you bruise them, they temporarily stain blue. There are a few other species of boletes that can give you problems with toxins, but overall, this is a fairly safe crowd to mingle with. Please do not go out and pick mushrooms, there has been one death and two hospitalizations in New York State so far this year.

There is a similarly colored bolete named Boletus sensibilus that will turn you into a human faucet or worse. Boletus satanus is aptly named; any orange or red-pored mushroom is seriously poisonous. Now that I have bored the stones outta you with mushroom talk......

I am feeling very chipper, and god knows why. It feels like a burden is gone, something intuitive is happening but please don't remind me that I said that later on when I am licking the bottom of the cat food cans after the cats because I am so broke. I tell you, I saw people fishing in the Buffalo River yesterday... this family may be eating lake fish and then after all our hair and fur fall out from the mercury, we will glow and be able to read in the dark without a flashlight.

Today I polished the brass knocker on the door, and plan on painting some sort of floral statement, maybe ivies, on the outside. I am going to go sketch some stuff right now, well, actually after I clean the fish tank which can take twenty minutes. Gosh, I'd like some cake.
Which reminds me, I have lost five pounds says the scale. Truthfully, the day has been as fragmented as my sentences.

Sun is starting to go down, the sky is ready for the evening show, last curtain call. Peace out.
