Final Note: Between baking, stewing, roasting and bacon-burger’ing, there was definitely plenty of foods to enjoy this week. It was, in retrospect, a long week, but it was also a swift week, and this coming one is bound to be similar. It is presently 8:50 AM on Sunday (7/20), and Padre and Madre are about to head off to Mexico.

Something odd: Over the past couple months, I’ve noticed the random appearances of a fungus near the frame of my front door. It is likely indicative of decay, but it turns out that this specific fungus – the Chocolate Tube Slime Mold (its real and very-fitting name) – consumes wood-eating bacteria and even other fungi that decompose lumber.

Nevertheless, I’ll be adding a roof to Jacobhouse in the future to grant the entryway more shelter from the elements. I think that is one thing that I would (and have already changed) in current and future construction projects. All entries need plenty of shelter to prevent the permeation of Nature.

  1. What a tasty week, pretty sure that bacon cheese burger, on the homemade sourdough bun, was the best burger I’ve ever had… it was quite the adventure this week, in a number of ways, and it was a pleasure to share it with you and the others we’re often wandering with.
