Well, his time out wasn’t too long, bro was picked up by the police on a warrant. I hope the morning and afternoon out of jail was worth it to him. Well, he’s now where folks can keep an eye on him. Hopefully the warders will show more responsibility than he has. He’s not listed on the basic arrest record yet.
Visit with Danny was cut cruelly short… I had to return home to help get the network in order and to take call for a bit. We had time for a drink and some dinner, but no pirate-ship battles. Mushroom pizza, Greek salads, he had a Manhattan, I had a rum & coke. Bonus bummer is that it was his last summer day. He’s telling the sci-fi club that Fridays are out, so maybe we can spend time every few Fridays during the school year.
I really would rather not be tethered to the cell phone sometimes. It’s been quite a hassle lately.
But, enough tales of woe. It’s Friday. The Weekend is nearly here. Free buffet at the club. Time to breathe.
There was a lovely Koi river running through the regency where I had dinner last night and a couple of cute little ducks, too.

They call ’em fingers, but I’ve never seen ’em fing. Oh, there they go.

I live very close to the only place on earth where both alligators and crocodiles live naturally side by side. (the everglades)
Note to Scotto… Turkey, Syria, and Iraq share the Euphrates-Tigris water basin.

Last Summer Day with Danny today.. we’re probably going to do a little play of pirates, hang out and have some supper. He told me yesterday that he hasn’t been on the internet for about a month or more. That’d be like me not *reading* anything for a month or more… unheard of.
Had a lovely time chitty-chattin’ with weez & sedef last night, and I’m delighted that I might get another chance to see ’em sometime soon! Quite a pair of sweeties they are! (Even if they are threatening to get me a bunch of Strawberry shortcake branded stuff!)

2nd Batch of allergy shots, and then platelets. I have to see if I can still donate today after the shot.
Dan goes back to school tomorrow or Friday, for kids begin on Monday. I wonder if we’ll get to goof of any more before he’s back in the grind?
The New Semagic LJ client is a lot friendlier to tags.
Moment of Lyric:
7607 – Non calor sed umor est qui nobis incommodat.
I, for one, am looking forward to Autumn.
“Kami-Robo are robot fighters made from paper, measuring about 15 to 20 centimeters tall. They have joints at the shoulders, hips, elbows, knees, wrists and ankles, which enable them to move freely and smoothly. They are designed to fight.”
Sort of like paper stickfas.
Fulda Carat Exelero – Nice looking car.. I think it’d make a marvy retro-type batmobile.
Moment of Lyric (mp3)
7602 – On the other hand, you have different fingers.
Mostly peaceful Sunday, thank goodness. Bro asking me about CDs and DVDs for the new portable player that he “acquired”. He still hasn’t given me my old DVDs back yet, and I told him that. I may have a burned copy of some old cartoons and the like for him, but I don’t know if giving them to him is a kindness, or condoning his behavior. I’ll have to reflect on it some more.
That reminds me, I have to get postage and mail out those other DVDs.

A bear has become an unwanted guest in one Croatian town after learning how to knock on the door to trick people into letting it in.
The 35-stone monster knocked at the door of the Loknar family from Gerovo in western Croatia three times and they are now refusing to answer the door, ananova reports.
“I opened the door and saw him standing there and I didn’t believe my eyes at first, then I ran for it as he walked in as if it was the most normal thing in the world,” mother Nevenka Loknar said.
“Bears are a common thing in the woods around here, but no one has ever heard of a bear that knocks at the door.
“The bear is so intelligent it’s incredible.”
It appears as though the bear got lucky when he nudged the door for the first time and has continued to do so since believing he will get an answer again.

Hey, I didn’t know South Florida was the waterspout capital of the world… I don’t feel so bad about losing lightening strikes, now. (we’re only #2, after Tropical Africa, and we still *see* more hits )

7535 – Day of Thor. New Moon.
Hectic work day yesterday. when I got home, I pretty much just switched off. Lots of fatigue…but I got a ton done. Weekend approaches swiftly again.
Looks like the hurricanes will leave my region alone for now.
I wish the “one” campaign was a little more specific about how they want to end poverty. I see what they want to do, but don’t quite see how it will be implemented.
