TIME TO READ"},"content":{"rendered":"

HOT!\u00a0 HOT!\u00a0 Too hot to move, but just right to settle in with a wanted book waiting to be read, with the fan on medium between open doors.\u00a0 Fortunately, Roseledge Books meets all of those requirements.\u00a0 I chose Ian Rankin’s Exit Music<\/strong> and am remembering how much I like Rebus.\u00a0 I’ve ordered a batch more for RB on the off chance another too-hot day comes and you and I will need a good read.\u00a0 It sure beats grumping at the world.<\/p>\n

But a sea breeze just kicked in and now is wafting through the window to my right as I sit at my computer.\u00a0 So it is I was reading and found the Vanishing New York blog<\/a> guy’s enlightened search for the diner in Edward Hopper’s “Nighthawks”<\/a>. Reference librarian and\u00a0 search lover that I am, I tried to think of any other “avenues” he might have checked but couldn’t think of any, didn’t know many that he tried, and had a very good time overall.\u00a0 So being nearly finished with Exit Music<\/strong>, I sort of darted over to the shelves and nabbed David Grann’s Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession. <\/strong> I’m sure this is a search book, but I’m not sure if the search is for El Dorado, the legendary city of gold, or Percy Fawcett’s search\u00a0 for it or both, but I love to travel with those who try to find out.\u00a0 Hello, David Grann.<\/p>\n

An aside: Obsession usually turns me off (Tracy Kidder’s Soul of a New Machine<\/strong> and John Casey’s Spartina<\/strong> come to mind) but when a search to find out is on, I think of it as focus.<\/p>\n

\"Fig.<\/a>

Fig. #87. Think sea breeze and room for your dinghy at the public landing. Just a note: the port-a-pot up the hill is not intended for boaters, my friends who live close-by tell me.<\/p><\/div>\n

Summer starts now, say those who count on tourists, and all the signs suggest it will be a good one.\u00a0 Strawberries came so early they’re almost done, raspberries are here and first blueberries are being raked.\u00a0 Good weather will do that.\u00a0 Friends have been stopping by, one with a RB t-shirt from the henley days.\u00a0 I’m still waiting for a RB t-shirt wearer to be accosted by another RB t-shirt wearer and have each end up with a good book to think about and a plan to return to RB.\u00a0 Before t-shirts, one boating group came with my business card\/bookmark given to them by another boating group\u00a0 in the Caribbean.\u00a0 That was fun and so will it be to see you.<\/p>\n

Another aside: to capture the sea breeze from afar, check the webcam, refresh it four or five times, and watch the cut-leaf maple wave.\u00a0 (I just tried this and the blueberry bush might be a surer mover.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
