How I Caught Crabs
Posted by yoursinwriting in Everything Else on July 23rd, 2007
Just got back from my week out on the left coast. The highlight of the trip was a visit to Gabriola Island, where my GF spent her summers when she was young. Although I did not catch crabs from my GF, it is because of her that I caught as many as I did.

I really tried to keep the thing alive. It was scary how quickly it pointed out my incompetence, by dying.
Herb Hupdate

The main problem is that my apartment gets very little direct sunlight, so the more sensitive plants are starving to death. This is too bad, as I’m finally interested in keeping plants alive, now that I can eat them.
