Sometimes I wish I could triplicate myself. To get more done.

When all was said and done, more was said then done

Where all is said and all is done
What was said was never done
Don't panic
It's not really worth your while
Bang goes another year
In and out of one ear
Everybody's doing it so do it too

- Blur, Bang

Bang and Inez were the babysitting team in an early Hernandez Brothers comic.

I liked Inez Nelson's turn at being Dr. Fate.

A female Dr. Fate was interesting.

I liked how she fixed a broken traffic light by healing it. And then, over time, the healing spread to fix the cracks in the sidewalk and the pothole on the street.

If only more superheroes would help with such things, although there would probably be public sector walkouts as the state hired in consultant infrastructure superheroes. That's right, you can read all about it in the stunning, exciting Consultant Infrastructure Superheroes Monthly!

Blackest Road Repair: much more to my taste than Blackest Night.

There is a bridge near my home that is being repaired about 4 months every year. I honestly have no idea why. If it were Japan I bet it would be good in a week tops...

Who shall save the city from the enraged Jackhammer, scourge of the city's road infrastructure?

No one will need to. Thanks to Consultant Infrastructure Superheroes, early indications of Jackhammer's anger management issues were dealt with holistically in his community with support from both services and his employer. Consultant Infrastructure Superheroes: We're Not Just For Roads

Water Meter Lad is my favorite Sub in that universe.

Carbon Copy Lass was rejected from the Consultant Infrastructure Superheroes. She then joined the Anarchist League

Copying isn't necessarily bad. The Chinese seem to think it is a compliment.

That reminds me. It's time to reread Capturing A Plum Blossom again. Not that I'm surrounded by gorgeous plum trees but I can always pretend, right?

it is almost time for the flowering trees to start blossoming.

I saw the cherry blossoms in Japan. Quite a pretty sight.

Ugh. Nasty windstorm right now and the poor blooms are being clobbered. I predict tomorrow I'll have tons of fallen branches to pick up. Again.

Oh no hope the storm doesn't make too much of a mess

Cherry blossoms are on their way here. I'm lucky enough to have a nice view of some from my garden. I'm not actually sure why I don't have any of my own, but it's probably to do with not wanted to make any of the tree/shrubs that I have dedded.

I have some poppies on my window ledge.

The Arnold Arboretum has some nice flowering trees. I also love their Lilac Sunday.

The lilac is the state flower of Hew Hampshire even though it is not a natively North American plant.

I used to live in Newmarket, New Hampshire, where Lizzy Borden's sister moved after the trial. But to paraphrase Charlene "I never been to Hew Hampshire".

A 7' or 8' tree branch already came down.

I dragged it into the garage and sawed it up. I also hastily staked several patches of flowers, and brought some trash into the house that had blown onto our lot

Now I've strategically retreated indoors and am reheating more coffee, even though I'd promised myself to stick to only one cup today.

My lilac plant should actually be OK. It's in a sheltered area, and it's a low, shrubby variety without any big limbs.
