We went out for Italian food this evening, and Lis got the clams. The food was good, but she was especially happy with the pretty little clam shells.

I have a new phone. It has a software zoom that combines sequential frames to boost the resolution of what would otherwise be a grainy photo. The effect is … interesting. It’s no replacement for a real zoom lens but the result is not unpleasant..

….that tastes like BACON and that’s a sandwich from the BACON TRUCK!

(Yes, it was so good I had to take a bite before taking the picture.)

Tonight’s project: we now have a wired doorbell. The actual ringer is not where I wanted it to go, because fishing the wire to its intended location proved too challenging. But it’s done, and it works, and the outdoor part will soon be replaced with a video doorbell.

I think the cats approve of the new kitchen rug.

Opening up a wall under our stairs to see if I can stuff in some more insulation, I found a few old items including this rusty kitchen tool. I’m pretty sure it has cut its last biscuit.

In some offices, people keep candy at their desks for coworkers. In my office, however…

I had lunch outdoors at Rowes Wharf today. At the very end of the season, I finally managed to make it to the tamale cart I’ve been wanting to go to since April

(Yes, a 2nd post from me today. I didn’t want to make this a bonus photo on the previous post.)

Striking Boston hotel workers marched past my office today.

Today I rebuilt Lis’s booth table in preparation for her fair next weekend. This 40-year-old aluminum table is light, easy to carry, and about the right size. But its pressboard top had become warped and unstable, so I replaced it with thin plywood. We’ll see how it goes!
