The Hidden Almanac for 2013-09-20

Today in history, the last performance by composer Irving Fleming happened 100 years ago. There is also a turtle. It is also the feast day of St. Calliope. In the garden, we discuss deer prevention.

Be safe, and stay out of trouble.

…once you become the type of person who hangs human hair from trees…

I always thought the human hair thing was…er, awkward until the #$*%& deer walked through the cantaloupes, either stepping on each, and/or taking a single bite from each, ruining the entire crop. I then considered hanging deer from various posts in the garden…

I definitely need a St. Calliope medal…

I believe that a recording of one of Fleming’s masterpieces was put to good use by W. Heath Robinson :

“Even his garden spade, I understand, was once the First Movement of an oratorio which, when performed at the Albert Hall in 1912, evoked shrill paeans from the critics and was faintly audible in Bayswater.” 7@=Q
