Mar. 14th, 2004 09:18 pmI am home.
Maple syrup is made, nowadays, by tying a bunch of trees together with bright plastic tubing until the woods look like lace. Or like the best kid's birthday party I ever went to, where you had to follow a piece of string through an incredible house-wide web to find a surprise.
I don't know what baby oxen are called. Lambs are adorable.
Old style maple sugar looked like rocks. Massachusetts had the highest percentage of abolitionists in the country in the 1830s -- two percent. Abolitionists ate maple sugar because cane sugar was made by slaves. Not many other people did, though - mostly because they'd cut down all the trees.
I am now the proud owner of six new things to spread on bread, a half-pound block of maple sugar, a 1910 coffee grinder, and a vaccuum cleaner.
Came home to find:
My cat holds grudges.

jodyorjen is safe.
amberfox posted this horrible account of what the US is doing in Camp X-Ray. I'm told the Guantanamo Bay case comes before the Supreme Court soon. They damned well better shut this thing down. This is an abomination.
Jane Espenson has agreed to be keynote speaker for Writercon 2004.
