For some reason I managed to forget that the West Valley branch of the San Jose public library has a giant statue of an artichoke out front. You wouldn't think anyone could forget something like that but apparently, put in a few years and I'll be there, goggling at the giant roundish green thing thinking "I completely forgot that this thing's here. I can't believe it."
Went over to Kate's today where, after I professed a desire for French fries, we went out and had burger-type-things and fries for lunch. Then Kate had to go pick out a sandwich at Whole Foods and I was privy to a novel method of testing the proficiency of a sandwich. Namely, by whacking one's arm with it to see how hard it is. (Kids, do not try this at home without proper supervision.) There was, indeed, a sandwich that was of worthy "hurtiness". The store also had giant snake plants in giant purple pots on top of the aisles, which was entertaining (because variegated snake plants -- and purple pots -- who the heck put those in grocery stores? Ask and answered). Mangoes, which are yummy were also involved later today, and the strange alien-snail-rainbow-amoeba cartoon, which was cute in a what-were-they-thinking kind of way.
Serious packing & double checking & list making tomorrow. Need to switch my Yahoo weather's setting back to SD.
