July 2015 01: overly sweet broccoli and pockets of rot
- A bad meal at China Rose.
02: lettuce up to the job
- Again I manage to make a homegrown repair to GreenWorks chainsaw.
03: absence of visits to the veterinarian
- Ramona continues to pick fights with new dogs when an old friend from the old days of online journals visits.
04: new legal drug
- A visit to the falls, some backstory on a local plot of land, kratom, and social tensions at an art opening.
05: 210.5 pounds
- Making up for yesterday's lack of firewood gathering, and a new ache in an arm.

07: Poison Ivy on Hurley Mountain
- Also, watching the first episode of the second season of True Detective.
08: thousands of fireflies
- Looking out across a vast field towards the Catskills at our friends' house.
09: kratom bike ride
- I drink five grams of Bali kratom in a tea and ride 6.6 miles on a bike.

11: kratom as a study aid

14: basically black magic
- Once you know how bad your radio reception is, it's hard to not keep tinkering with it.
15: Crocs as water bowls

29: Throckmorton the Loon
- A single loon arrives and spends the day on Twenty Ninth Pond.
30: too much kratom
- But not enough to prevent me from cooking a good Mexican meal.
31: Cape of Dud Boat
