It's a lot nicer day here in Western Washington than the weather persons told us it would be, so I'm gonna head outside and pay attention to my local surroundings. Maybe bicycle to a few selected locations and listen.
Hmmm. I don't think I did it right. Spent the better part of the afternoon at the lat day of a fantastic music festival that my friend and neighbour organizes. It WAS in the middle of the woods, so there was lots of river noise, and general wilderness sounds when bands WEREN'T playing.
I also listened to my elderly cat purr as he sat on my lap for the few minutes it's possible in this ghastly heat.
I also listened to tempeh, onions, and broccoli frying as I bravely cooked a meal in my overly hot hot hot hot kitchen. The meal was good, but holy cow I should not cook in this heat.
