"My Cubans!"
After awakening from a nap after a great day with Kat, I discovered the forecast had not only dropped to below freezing, but was to include freezing rain and sleet! I had already moved my citrus trees inside to protect my tiny orange and grapefruit harvest from the weather, but the flimsy torn-up garbage bags I had thrown up over my vegetables were suddenly completely inadequate to the task of saving my future food supply. Headlamp piercing through the not-quite-freezing-yet rain, I placed tarps over all my vegetables, almost completely covering them, including my climbing sweet peas. I overturned plastic pots on my strawberry plants, then bricked down a tarp over them, too.
Hopefully it will be enough. I can't believe it was in the high 80s a few days ago!
In other News, I've finally been Assimilated. I've somehow managed to live without an Ipod until now, but with the anticipation of professionalizing my firedancing and photography, it was time to bite the bullet. I managed to score a 30gb Ipod with Video for about $180 delivered on Ebay, and it arrived in a shockingly short period of time. I also got a new stereo for my car with a full Ipod interface, allowing me to browse my collection from the stereo. Finally, I checked my Sony AV cable, and, as I suspected, you can use it with the Ipod as long as you realize the red wire is now the video and the yellow wire is one of the audio signals. I didn't bother to test which audio signal was which, but I added tape markers on the cable so I can tell at a glance which one to use with the Sony and which with the Ipod. I also downloaded a copy of iSquint since I had video encoding problems with iTunes.
