And some piles and anti-piles were made yesterday. I like coming home and not knowing what has changed during the day.

The flagstones have been better arranged and set and the back step has been mortared in place.

The cement for the new path was poured yesterday and it looks really good. Also the side yard has been cleaned up.

So soon after posting about Dirty Found, I was again in the book shop and discovered that Found #4 just came out. It’s worth it for the Rod Serling letters alone. Also in it is their tour schedule; here’s some relevant stops:
- Oct 26 – Seattle – University Books – 7:30PM
- Oct 30 – Santa Cruz – Bookshop Santa Cruz – 7:30PM
- Nov 1 – Berkeley – Cody’s Bookstore – 7:30PM
- Nov 2 – San Francisco – Intersection 4 The Arts – 7PM & 9PM
- Nov 3 – San Francisco – A Clean, Well-Lighted Place For Books – 7PM
Sort of like finding things is over-hearing things. Thanks to others I have found the joy of overheardinnewyork.com and after having read through the entire back log I’ve learned some things. That New Yorkers seem to have an anal fixation, that they have really entertaining bums and crazies, and that half the city is on something much of the time. Also that there are a lot of lost people.
Oh yeah! I found something that I’m going to send in to Found Magazine…
I don’t think zombies are much for reading so I don’t think it did much good.

It was sad to have this large fairly old organism removed, but it will be replaced with 3 trees that are easier on the things around it like the driveway, the sidewalk, the utility lines, and any cars parked near it shouldn’t get sapped now.
One bright side about the tree being gone (aside from it literally being brighter in the front yard) is that it smells like christmas tree in our front yard. I hope that lasts awhile.

Just four pictures. Two of the now missing large tree in front, and two bad ones of the new step in front of the back door.

The paths look pretty much the same as they did yesterday though they continued to work on them. The big change today is the paving stones that were added. I was also wondering where the old stepping stones were dug up from since i never encountered them in the back yard. I do know where used to be a path from the back door to the shed since the dogs uncovered the path edging, but no stepping stones.

They aren’t bonded yet, but they are there.

Pictures of the progress after 6 days are now available. If you somehow missed the others, you can click up to the parent album from there, or just go here.
Yesterday we also picked out our kitchen and bathroom fixtures, sorry, but no pictures of those. Also we finally lined someone up to remove the tree in front of the house.

When I go to Bookshop Santa Cruz I make sure to check if there are any new issues of Found Magazine, usually to be met with disappointment. It isn’t the most regular of publications. I was happy to find that they publish a “Dirty Found” magazine filled with all the things that people sent in that couldn’t published normally. Some of it is indeed pretty dirty, while a lot of it is pretty tame though not stuff the average person is comfortable reading.
If you like Found, check it out.
