Our garden continues to grow well in the summer warmth. The tomatoes grew rather slowly at first, but fruits are now appearing on the vine in droves. Cucumbers grow more regularly; we see one once every few days or so. Here one of each is laid out on the counter for later use.

I own a GD-ROM copy of the original arcade Monkey Ball as well as an original control board (with banana-shaped joystick and all!). However, I didn't own a NAOMI2 arcade board to run the game. This week a friend agreed to sell his to me, along with some peripherals to enable running games over network. I've had little time to dig into it, but I plan to set up Monkey Ball soon.

Ferrets often sleep 18 hours a day or more. That falls in line perfectly with the behavior of our ferrets, Mocha and Chai. Their cage has two hammocks; sometimes the ferrets sleep separately, and other times they curl up together to share warmth.

An airfield south of the area hosted Friends of Army Aviation, a non-profit dedicated to preserving the history of army aviation. The organization owns two Bell UH-1 Iroquois helicopters that served in Vietnam and offers rides in them. This extracted video frame shows the UH-1 departing the field on one such flight.

The local Renaissance festival opened a few weekends ago, but we were unable to attend until now. One of our favorite shops has quite an eclectic décor, even by festival standards. It seems every time I visit, I find something new to notice among the clutter. This year we found a flamboyant mounted deer head.
