Huh. Ted and I just got back from seeing “Stealth”, which was much better than it had any right to be, if you overlook the basic problem with the premise, which is, as Trip said, “Here, let’s take this insanely expensive and complicated piece of technology and hit it with a rock to make it work better.” (My basic problem with the premise was that the trailer introduces Jaime Foxx as the focus of the story and then has the babe clearly hooking up with the other dude for no…
road construction
They are paving my walk path. Sigh. I will be glad when these people are done mucking with my routes. Chanti, OTOH, who doesn’t know better, was just about literally beside herself with spasms of delight because she got to go for a WALK, which she hasn’t gotten to do in DAYS. Later we’ll go for a better walk, but I was baking bread, so we couldn’t go for a long one. Ok, that wasn’t very exciting, but I’m off to run errands now, so zoom.

I’d been saving religiously and making backup files, and it just went *fwip*, gone.…

I will stop at Sears on the way out of town and pick up a little space heater. From…
ha cha cha!
Ha cha cha! I’m going out to my aunt’s this evening, and I will stay there until Thursday morning when Ted comes to pick me up. I believe I will have the TBF revisions complete or nearly complete by the end of that time, and if they’re complete I might have also accomplished some other things. I find it vexing that in this world of instant gratification, stores still sell seasonal goods. (How alliterate of me!) Aunt Eileen suggested I bring out a small electric heater, as the cabin has…
