Sounds like you spent all day out there working hard. Hope the horses appreciate all your effort :-)

You know, He really likes to take pictures, and he isn't bad at it either (like most kids his age are). This may very well be a hobby in the making for him.

Now, what did I do with that red light from my old dark room...

Whew...I am back. Wife actually just called and said "have you gone out yet?" WHAT DO YOU MEAN HAVE I GONE OUT YET?????

Apparently Corin's money is not good enough fer anyone. Sears came literally 20 minutes after I left. I'd given Jr. a note that said "be back at 4:00 p.m. today or not at all." Drivers went back and I got a call from customer service. Told 'em, we'll just return the dryer and shop elsewhere and she didn't care.

Honestly, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but this was the third time they've done that to us. I gotta truck. Ah kin go to the scratch and dent place and haul it myself if'n I got to.

I don't mind paying a premium for service...if'n I get the service.

THEN, after I dropped Luke off at the birthday party, I went to one of those chain eyeglass places in the mall. I had gotten my prescription on Friday and decided I wanted ~instead of bifocals~ to get contacts and then over-the-counter reading glasses. Sales goober said "we don't do that, you have to see our doctor." I just left...

Anyway, went by to see Nana and then to pick up Jr's prescriptions. I managed to lose the one the dentist gave me.

So, I left here at noon-thirty and just got back about 45 minutes ago...and the wife asks "have you gone out yet?"

Sheesh!

So....how late do I wait to take up the cannas?

Should I assume they ain't gonna bloom no more? Or should I wait a few weeks longer?

However, let the record stand that I did ~NOT~ get beat up. I'm just not in the mood fer takin' crap from anybody.

Just like that mortgage consultant that called. I don't even wait for them to breathe anymore. As soon as I figger 'em out I say "no thanks, bye" and hang up...

(I get 2-3 per day)

I also just got in the mail today a "Dear Friend" letter from James Carville. Yet another opportunity to respond. Here's what I'm thinking...

(red is the color of marker I will use)

Dear James:

1. I am not now, nor have I ever been, nor will I ever be your "friend."

2. You James, are a lying-snake-in-the-grass...and that's the nicest name I have for you.

3. Whilst I know James Carville will never actually see this, I must ask, are the DemonRATS really so inept that you don't know who your friends are, or how after REPEATED attempts I cannot seem to get OFF your flippin' mailing lists?

No wonder you guys are 14 points DOWN in the polls.

For the record, I would sell a kidney to keep John Kerry out of the White House.

Most sincerely,

Corin Stormhands.

'zat a little harsh?

Don't deny your rage, man. Let us know how you really feel. Repressing like that'll just give you high BP.
