6800 – I'll be left there on the wall at the store.
Didn’t do much with Danny last night… went to the Ole’ Ole’, got a plate of loaded nachos and a couple of margaritas, and meandered a little while talking about nothing in particular. The evening was interrupted briefly by the big kahuna calling in on my cell phone, and my giving her a quick tutorial on how to use outlook express to send attachments.
We walked over to the Museum of Discovery and Science, where I picked up a couple of trinkets of happiness for assorted folks. A little treatie-wheatie for my sweetie, in particular… Also, I need to get a few other addresses to send stuff.

6799 – My home is where my spirit goes.
The Museum ‘f Art trip was ok, but short. Three major exhibits, and little things here and there.
All of the following were taken with ye olde palm camme… sneaky-spy like.
In the indigo room… everything there was blue, and looked aquatic. Those are hands reaching for the noggin.

Little kids in turtlenecks can be sort of creepy. Especially in the summertime.
Whirlwind days lately.. lots of work to do, pressure high. I’m dealing with it pretty well, but LH nearly quit I think.
Skinbags – gear made out of synthetic human skin. (in all sorts of shades.. black, asian, pink white, mixed, and Tattoo personalization : name, sentence, logo)
Oh, I really rather think the aprons are something. Yeek!
Gene Simmons sings Firestarter.
Also Yeek. I wonder if he’s a real doofus, of if his public life is another Andrew Dice Clay act?
This whole touch screen thing makes Florida look like it *wants* to be guilty of more voter drama.
My sensitivities to my environment are out of whack a little bit, today. I feel numb to some things, and overly aware of others. Every hair on my right arm seems to be a high-powered sensor.

I’ve been using launch radio, calendar, weather, news and games a lot lately on my Y!M. Tasty little app.
oOmiaq wrote me recently, and thanked me for listening to his music. My pleasure, oOm.
Dan bailed for tonight, but we’ll probably get together tomorrow. I don’t mind, save for the short notice. I don’t really want to go to the Seminole casino on a flippin’ Friday, so that’s going to have to wait. I’m not sure what I want to do for my solo Saturday walkabout, yet. That Moonlight movie is that night… that could be a fun time. Maybe I’ll hit Port Everglades during the day, and see if I can spot some free-swimming manatees or turtles. I found out after my recent trip to Miami that there’s a natural calving / nursery area there.
Maybe tonight I’ll hit the Museum ‘f Art. It’s free until the end of August, just up the street, open until 9pm on Thursdays, and air-conditioned.

6788 – New ghost tour is in spirit of Fort Lauderdale

6783 – Meat hook dangling
MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) — Law enforcement officials in the Florida Keys are mystified by a bizarre new pastime — young people dangling themselves from meat hooks on a popular sandbar.

6780 – Some remainder wildlife.
Assorted Wildlife, in the middle of Miami. I’m not sure where I want to go on my next trip.
Home of Ol’ Flipper.
6779 – more pictures – Miami rails
It’s amazing that I managed to stay mostly un-rained on all day long.
6778 – Yawn a more Roman way!
Nice Trip to the Seaquarium Yesterday.
Some snapshots, more to follow as I clean ’em up.
6775 a die-lemma.
Hmmm… do I risk the rain, and take a journey to the Seaquarium today? I have to decide if I want to journey that far South again. Upside, I might get some spiffy pictures from the metrorail, if nothing else.
To get there, I’m going to take the 55 to the central term, from there to the Lauderdale Tri-Rail station … then take Metrorail to Brickell Station. From there take Bus B to Key Biscayne, this will drop me off in front of the park. Map – Public Transportation Trip Planner
I’ll percolate on it for an hour and decide then.
Meantime, here’s a happy mind flayer, enjoying his breakfast.
Random Scotto factoid: I’ve never liked using blue ink, especially from a ball-point pen. I think it has an odd look about it, and black has much better contrast. Red’s ok in small doses… valentines or highlighting errors. I don’t mind “fun” colors like purple or green.
I wonder how that blue caught on? Is it cheaper? Was it really fun and different when first released? It seems to be the color of choice at schools.
I have very small handwriting. Depending on my mood and level of weariness, it can go from fair to totally illegible.

Lots of local construction, but I never hear the hammers or workers.
Things just sort of grow here.
Nice Freebie Gothic / horror fonts – also links to classic Eerie Comics. (I actually had the issue with “Swamp Monsters” in it. Warning, may not be safe for the squeamish.
I now work with one of the Florida Marlins, a retired Miami Dolphin, and Kenny Rogers’ brother. Somehow, if we all walked into a bar, there would have to be some kind of wacky punchline at the end.
I have to ask how Kenny feels about the drunken, mentally deficient, kitten-eating MadTV representation of him.(see also, KR’s Jackass – big file, let it buffer a bit)
Woo-hoo! my littler-big-sis hooked me up with a Seal-tooth,a familiar-building method to make use of it, and a lovely-large load of meat for use in KoL. Funzies! Thanks, ldy!
6771 – ahh… cooling precipitation!
This is *exactly* what was needed. Ah, 81F, and the humidity has been rained to the ground.
nice, nice. about time.
