A few minor things in town.

I had to push through to get a shower.  I called my bank to see what time they closed, sort of as incentive.  I couldn't make the main, but the drive up was still open with decent room.  Of course, my banking didn't go quite as well as planned.  No worries.  They aren't open until Monday, a reason to get in.  I called my friend, but he was just sitting down to dinner.  A cornish game hen... sounded good.  The heat, there, is getting to him.  It's not too awful where I am, but in the city it is always worse.  Even as small, in truth, as Logan is, it is large enough to become a heat magnet and retainer.  Add in vehicles, industry, electric, concrete and pavement, buildings, and the rest and... a few square miles becomes somewhat hellish.  Wait until there is a grid-down.  If nothing else we are due for an earthquake.  Yeah, cheery bastard, ain't I?  Should earn me a kiss.  Thing is, if I get one, it will probably be with a crow... bar.  Just piss me off, you know. 

After partial banking and failure to friend, I headed over to the grocery store.  Just a few things.  Milk, for kefir.  I still drink some of that, though more milk than kefir for obvious reasons.  Oddly, milk doesn't mess with my blood sugar, pretty much, at all.  The time the 12~14 ounces of kefir raised my number from 180 to 253?  When I had a meal shortly thereafter, then measured my blood sugar at a small drop?  I had a quart of milk with the meal.  Yeah, I'm a heavy drinker, whatever I drink.  Not just libations.  If we are ever hiking in the desert, and I keel over?  Cut me open for the water pack.  :p  Everyday is hump day!  Never mind.

I did notice local sweet corn.  Oh, sure, I'm prejudiced toward Iowa corn.  And yet I was quite surprised, and impressed, by beef and corn and pork right here.  Utah is NOT Iowa, but it IS ag.  And they are very good at it.  Now, sure, you can grow more, faster, easier, in Iowa.  But it isn't better.  And, I think with the mountain pastures, and some other things, Utah might have the edge on beef, if production isn't as easy to scale.  That... isn't always a bad thing.  Just in case you wanted to know what an Iowa boy thinks of Utah ag.  In modern terms, thumbs up.  In ancient Greek terms, thumbs down.  I mean... worth every penny here, and just as good.  Remember, I have no tribes, so no need to fib, justify, bow to family, or any such things.  Good is good, and I am picky... but honest.

So, later tonight, I will probably cook a dozen ears of corn and call it good.  I have another dozen to go, for tomorrow.  I may look up how to freeze corn, or just call my mom.  She knows all this stuff.  I've asked her before, and she has told me, but I forgot.  I might, if it seems easy enough, get into town and buy... eight dozen, at least seven for freezing.  I might even freeze some of it one way, some of it another, to compare.  Hopefully, if that goes well, I can do another batch before the summer is out.  Love me some corn.  I used to be able to eat that, alone, for a meal a day in the summers.  A dozen ears, if I could get away with it.  It would be great if I could get some of that laid up for winter.  Only took me all my life to get to a place where I am figuring some of this ant versus grasshopper stuff out.  Ants are boring, but got it going in the cold and heat. 

Later.
