This is Dani Smith

I am Dani Smith, sometimes known around the web as Eglentyne.  I am a writer in Texas.  I like my beer and my chocolate bitter and my pens pointy.

This blog is one of my hobbies.  I also knit, sew, run, parent, cook, eat, read, and procrastinate.  I have too many hobbies and don’t sleep enough.  Around here I talk about whatever is on my mind, mostly reading and writing, but if you hang out long enough, some knitting is bound to show up.  

Thank you for respecting my intellectual property and for promoting the free-flow of information and ideas.  If you’re not respecting intellectual property, then you’re stealing.  Don’t be a stealer.  Steelers are ok sometimes (not all of them), but don’t be a thief.

    Drip, Drip, Drip, Goes the Water

    Posted on DateWednesday, July 23, 2008 at 4:08PM

    That’s a Chumbawamba song, from the Tubthumper album.

    Anyway, during my first hour of measuring, my fancy pluviometer measured about 20 mm of rain.  That included at least two waves of rain bands.
    The second hour saw both a lull in the rain and an increase in winds, and I measured only about 3 mm of rain.  The blusterier it gets, the less accurate my delicate fluviograph.  
    Hours three and four, trace.  Maybe one mm.  Maybe.
    Hey look! Watermelon!
    This beauty was 36.5 pounds and grew at the family compound in Central Texas.  Lovely.
