Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
11/2: camelias
As I was walking from the parking lot to my office building today, I noticed a flowering bush. Not only did I see its blooms, but I also smelled its fragrance--amazing! I walked up to it for a closer look, and I saw honeybees in the center of some of the blossoms. I emailed Chris so he could come by mid-morning and see for himself; I knew he'd like the fact that the honeybees were finding something freshly flowering at this time of year. I had an inkling that the plant might be a camelia bush, and a quick websearch confirmed my suspicion. (Honestly, I have no idea how I knew that, but of course I'm delighted that I did.) Chris promptly ordered 3 camelias to plant in our yard.
