blogHOUSTON promises never to post vacation blogging that is complete and utter gibberish:
1. Insight is even more limited than normal when you’re on vacation, but a lot more fun. At one point today, it seemed incredibly amusing to contemplate that the Web site www.gfl.it might stand for “Girlie Football League,” and that its symbol might be a yellow breast. Alas, turned out to be a picture of a lemon shot from its nubby end.
a. The phrase “refreshing towelette” in several other languages: salvietta rinfrescante, rince-doigts, erfrischungstuch.
2. Here, where the fight against Worldwide Torpor begins to seem less and less pressing, the bees (or bee-like insects; they are the size of thumb-joints and have iridescent, Jacksonville Jaguar-like blue wings) are the same size as the hummingbirds.
3. Task: Samuel/Roger: compare/contrast
4. Another task: find a tourist spot that does not sell its own location-specific snow globe. (In other words, there is St. Elsewhere – to cite a snow globe reference – but Elsewhere is a different story.)
