Dang, I forgot the response to that one.

Supper Time and the living is uneasy.
We've got to talk ahead to fill up the night
Supper Time and the Living is Uneasy
Oh Lord give us supper and a zer0 time!

How long before the Bound Brook becomes unbounded?? ;-)

.”...rots it’s memory chips”

That would explain the strange smell.
It has just upgraded to ‘kitkat ‘, the autocowrecker appears to be more useful.

It has just learned “autocowrecker “ ,Lol. Koreans, love em.

[NoCmpromiz]

discover why the Samsung refuses to connect to the internetz.

Of course..

It's all because you weren't conversing with it in Korean. That's why you had to take it to the proper location so they could initiate the proper dialog...

[moose07]

LoL, i knew i should have asked you first!
There is a tiny element of truth to that.
The rotating ip address generator in the router goes out of range of the units abilities, or something.
Sounds like bovine, but is working again.
This kitkat system looks good, haven’t tried a serious notepad file on it yet.

[Darksheare]

Autodidactic cowrecker.

[NoCmpromiz]

But if the Auto Cow Wrecketor is less annoying, you are ahead of the game...

But of course, it will wait, lurk, and learn. THEN it will strike.

Something a bit soberer....

Dunno. I’m a bit away from it, and haven’t heard on the radio. Some minor flooding near me.

I think the brunt of it is in CT and MA. This area only got 3 inches but it’s very windy. Some branches down. What leaves that were still on trees are most likely gone now.

How are you?

[Gefn]

I’m glad we didn’t get snow either.

Once I get off the oxygenator, I’m going to spend a weekend in the city. I really want to see the museums.

[Gefn]

I’m so glad Sparkle is playing. It sounds like she’s getting more comfortable.

I’m so glad she’s in your forever home; I just hope you feel better.

Sparkle is still skittish of me and prefers to come out when I’m not in the room. And that’s OK. She needs to adjust in her own time, not mine.

She is doing as well as can be expected with the confinement she endured and the sudden freedom. It may take a long time for her to feel comfortable with me and that’s OK. Her soul has been bruised and I can only love and encourage her.

She was playing with the toy last night, and that is a good sign, so thanks from Sparkle!

[Gefn]

She sounds like a great kitteh.

Tell her I said mrrrow.

I have to find some jpegs of my angel kittehs to post.

"What leaves that were still on trees are most likely gone now."

I know how that goes ...

Last Fall

The days are short, the wind has grown,
My community has now all flown.
I stare at emptiness all around,
And brownish carpeting on the ground.

When I was young, so long ago,
The days seemed endless, ever so.
I was so green. I’ve learned a lot.
So many shared my lofty spot.

We danced and twirled the time away,
Forgetful of the length of day,
With unseen music through the bright,
And whispers in the silent night.

Alone, I watch the neighborhood,
A stark and silent stretch of wood,
Tears sometimes dim the golden days,
Until the scene is filled with haze.

And only memory serves to fill,
The lonely times upon this hill.
They all have gone now, I remain,
A sad perspective is my gain.

They’ve departed, this way and that,
A graceful tip of an invisible hat,
And scattered to the winds they were,
Until only I am left to stir,

I twist to shed the Winter’s blast,
As I enjoy my being last,
And in the bleak and dismal scene,
I long for days when things were green.

One morning, I awake to find,
The world transformed while I was blind.
In darkness, change had come within the night,
The brown became a world of white!

In joy at last I chanced the breeze,
And danced among the stark black trees.
On stiffened fingertips, I race,
Across the snow without a trace.

All through the day I dance and twirl,
‘Til dizzy with the endless whirl,
I fetch up in a tent of green,
And on a sturdy trunk I lean.

The needle-leaves fresh fragrance sends,
With frozen tears the branch then bends.
I look at stars through crystal lens,
I settle down, and dream of friends.

How are you?

Still above ground.. ;-)

Had freezing glop early on but it all changed to liquid shortly after the glowing-though-hidden-by-cloud orb rose in the sky (unobserved save for being able to navigate without an additional means of illumination.) The sump pump is running periodically. If it rains again tomorrow, the pump will probably be more continuous. And other than loosing another limb off the American Cedar (it doesn't seem to be a very sturdy plant) we have survived..

But most assuredly we (and my Olde Deere) are thankful that it wasn't snow.

And now I'm engaging in a try-to-fix-the-laptop-again endeavor...

But first I must deliver a plate of yummy-yummy cat food to the White Furbeast-With-no-Tail-To-Tell. Otherwise she will 'help' me work on the laptop. By sitting on it.

[Gefn]

I don’t know much about laptops. My macs never seem to give me any trouble.

The child in me wants a white Christmas, even though I don’t have a sled anymore,

It’s gray and miserable outside. I’m feeling so blue I’m going back to bed and staying there today.

[Gefn]

That’s a large litter of kittens!
