Great… I get to go in early. (Poor Kev’s sick… I hope he’s all right)
Just called for my ride. Drat… it may mean I have to stay late, too.

Up and at ’em!
Morning-time is here once again.
Rough dreams last night… not sure what the rhyme or reason was… What I remember was that it was storming outside, bright lightening and thunder, high winds…I was at a mall, and it was flooding with about ankle deep water on the floor. Not sure if I was supposed to be buying supplies, or what… it was the mall of the dead, and nobody was there.
My poor sweetie is working so hard to catch up with her work that we’ve only been able to chat a bit (as her mind needed to be on her project). I hope that we have an opportunity to gab at some depth soon. Maybe play a little AOK, snuggle, too. ICQ was weird last night…I hope that’s a one-time thing.
So many things to do…time to hop in the shower and then straighten up the house some.
I miss her. It’s only been hours since we’ve talked, but I miss her a lot.

good morning, here’s some evil news.
The Poke-Bandits
=================================
LAS CRUCES, N.M. — Three children — ages 2, 4 and 6 — were briefly detained by
police after a neighbor saw them throw a bottle through a store’s glass door,
then dart away with packs of Pokemon trading cards, police say.
Being A Transexual Is A Legal Handicap
=================================
A New Jersey appeals court ruling that transsexualism can be considered a
handicap under state law has raised questions — and hackles — over the legal rights
of people who change genders.
“I’m going to start wearing a hula skirt to work because now I know I’m
protected,”
First A Special Haircut, Now A Special Dental Treatment
=================================
The Scottish Prison Service has admitted flying a dentist to the Netherlands to
treat the man convicted of the Lockerbie bombing. The disclosure came days
after it was revealed that the SPS had dispatched a female officer to Camp Zeist to
provide Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed Al Megrahi with a haircut.
The UK Has Run Out Of Elastic!!!!
=================================
A church verger in the West Midlands is appealing for women to donate their
knicker elastic to keep the church clock going.
The clock, in the tower of All Saints Church, West Bromwich, stopped last week.
The verger, David Lord, said the clock’s workings relied on a piece of string
and a piece of elastic.
Man Arrested For Overdue Library Book
=================================
His affection for “Green Eggs and Ham” cost an Ann Arbor man $200 and a trip to
the city police department Friday.
The 25-year-old was arrested about 2 p.m. on a warrant from Westland, because
he failed to appear in court July 6 to explain why in three years he hadn’t
returned two children’s books to the William P. Foust Public Library.
I’m Not Drunk, I’m Deaf… and drunk
=================================
When police pulled over Steven Bircoll one night in April, officers thought he
was drunk: He slurred his words, he smelled of booze and he refused to take a
Breathalyzer test, according to reports.
Bircoll has a different explanation: He’s deaf. He didn’t understand what the
Miami-Dade County officers were telling him. He says he thought he agreed to
take the breath test — and the whole thing was a big misunderstanding.
Good Night, sweet dreams, farewell until morning.
OSO backwards is OSO.
OSO upside-down is still OSO.
There, I’m home, after mailing off some belated letters to my then-vacationing sweetheart.
July 1-3, anyhow. As soon as I unearth 4-6, another packet! 🙂
Settled in… lime freezerpop in hand, and reading the daily news at last… Newt has a lovely ice cube in his water, which he is digging, quite a lot.
I wonder where my sweetheart is… I’ve not seen her all evening!
Sacrificing things to the moving gods.
a reel to reel 3 track recorder and an old Atari ST computer (with a whopping 2 megs of ram! High tech for 1987!)
Anyone want them for the price of shipping? Anyone know what the price of shipping might be?
LE PETOMANE: FIN-DE-SIECLE FARTISTE
Under the stage name “Le Petomane,” Joseph Pujol was the toast of turn-of-the-century Paris. Audiences at the Moulin Rouge where first shocked, then won over, by this tall, mustachioed man in a red velvet suit…a suite with a hole cut in the derriere to release his remarkable talent. Pujol was a skilled musician in his own right, but his greatest instrument was his own rectum, with which he could produce an astounding variety of musical tones. Through a combination of historical documents, photographs, archival films, and interviews, this video reclaims Pujol’s place in history and, in the process, opens up a veritable Pandora’s box of contemporary debate over the meaning, impact, and value of this unusual master flatulator.

Whoever thought that dragging the tail of a horse over a cat’s entrails could make beautiful music?
The violin amazes me. Horns, I can sort of see the development of. Strings… lots of evolution musically there. I’m wondering what the next step in music will be.
