go west

Have a picture of the Tucson basin. Apparently that west wind we had all day yesterday blew the whole city's pollen over here to the eastern edge, just like what happens with the pollution. It would have been nice to know about this when we moved to town, but I guess at this point it just means that it's time to learn my way around the trails on the west side of town.

Also, the trick to sewing seams four inches apart all the way across a 52 x 64 inch canvas bag is to roll up the parts you aren't sewing on so they're easier to hold onto. I'm never going to be a quilter, but if I ever need to make a quilt instead of couch padding, I'll be all set.
