We had another quiet day today, with the usual brunch and dinner and walks. This morning on our walk we spotted a rather large snake crossing the drive. It looks like a Kansas Glossy Snake and is definitely a fast mover. That probably helps it catch the small lizards that are its prey. Darn! I was hoping it ate mice.
One high point of the day was listening to an interesting piece on human memory on the TED Radio Hour. It included an interview with psychologist Daniel Kahneman, who most famously won the Nobel Prize in Economics. He and his collaborator, Amos Tversky, jointly founded a new branch of psychology, or is it a new branch of economics?—behavioral economics. In this particular interview, of course, he was talking about the operation of memory and the split between the experiencing self and the remembering self.
The other notable thing we did today is finally get around to cleaning the truck and putting 202 Protectant on the tonneau cover.
I'm feeling a bit bereft tonight: no more episodes of Call the Midwife this season.
