Hiding in the tall, um, grass

Afghanistan's fun-loving Taliban have deployed a hitherto unknown tactic in evading detection in their war against allied forces: take refuge in 10-foot high, fireproof marijuana forests.

Despite Canadian troops' best efforts to burn down the monster dope plantations, the weed continues to offer excellent cover for the insurgents, Reuters reports.

Puttering

This morning's puttering has involved putting clean dishes away, washing pots and pans, running a load of laundry, getting the kids to their respective destinations, paying bills, and getting a little programming done. This afternoon was more programming.

Somewhere along the course of the week I've also managed to request concert slots for Loscon and Consonance, ping co-conspirators collaborators about harmony vocals and the album cover, and track down the new zoo cards that I'll need to spend tomorrow at the San Francisco Zoo with the chaoswolf for "Zooparent Day", since she "adopted" a tiger for her birthday.

I'm not sure any of this really counts toward [15 minutes] of clutter reduction, though it helps in a general way.
