Chapter 2 is titled "The Owners", and is devoted to describing three groups, and the divisions and tensions between and among them. These three groups were the planters of San Domingo, the French bourgousie, and the British bourgousie.

This is the place for your observations of the natural world around you. What have you seen today?

I went for a walk with my sister Mimi along the riverfront bike path from Davenport IA into Bettendorf and back.

Lots of birds - pity I'm not good at identifying all of them. Lots of ducks, a few geese, and some pelicans. The latter were mostly sitting on a log out in the river when we went past them; later as we sat on a swing at our turn-around, several of them flew past upriver.

Thistles, yellow sweet clover, and milkweed are partly blooming, partly gone to seed. In honor of my recent re-read of Lois Bujold's Sharing Knife series, I went and smelled the milkweed flowers (very sweet) and observed a few green-and-gold caterpillars on one. Queen Anne's Lace is in full bloom.

So what have you seen? Bold birds, mighty mushrooms, frumious flowers, a bandersnatch or two?

This is an abbreviated Daily Bucket, for anybody who is observing the outdoors for more than fireworks.

Look! In the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? WHAT KIND of bird?

Is there fungus among us, or flirting flowers, or mammals miniscule or monstrous? Tell us what you see around you, and roughly where you are, we wanna know!

This is the Justice, Not Charity! Haiti book diary. Allie123 and I are writing these book diaries because we became shocked by the truth of Haiti’s history and what really is needed to help the Haitians after the earthquake.

"It's as if Aristide was put in charge of a house that was falling apart and was expected to fix it. But then his enemies start setting fire to the back door, they send people with guns to attack the front door, and when these people finally manage to break in they said 'Look! He didn't wash the dishes in the sink! He never repaired the leak in the roof!' They made him spend all his time trying to put out the fire and to protect the door, and then once they got rid of him they said he was pushed out because he'd failed to repair the house." (Damming The Flood,
p 131.)

And a reminder of the NFTT challenge: See Meteor Blades' diary for details.

So, OK, this is more an apology for not having the diary ready. (And a hope that allie will post some of her excellent comments to make it worthwhile to put this travesty up.)

I'd forgotten that we were caroling at the nursing home today.

And the new high-speed internet connection is finally working right. Hours disappeared into that.
