Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
I know!
He needs one of those automatic sample-puller thingies.
Hmph...city won't pay for it. They get him to do it for free.
Sun is shining here now! He didn't get the required amount so he's not gonna pour the dye.
We had a presentation for a run-off study at work one day where they had one of those automatic samplers set up on a golf course. They had to purty it all up and fit it into the landscape.
Heh!
They were supposed to pay him overtime for this work, but the city didn't get the grant. So now, to get the data for his thesis, if it rains while he's off the clock, he doesn't get paid for it. Now the other side of that coin is that if it rains while he's on the clock, he does get paid for it and it is data gathered for his paper.
The city wants the study done, they just don't want to pay (extra) for it. Steve wants the study done even if he has to do it for free.
It was disappointing though, that he wasn't gonna get paid for it...woulda been nice.
Did you hear what Peter Jennings said? Right there at the end?
I didn't catch it.
I don't watch Petah Jennings but I heard he has lung cancer.
Good lord, what an image. My first thought was "he's delivering a foal by caesarian section".
Nope! He's too skinny to be pregnant!
Great Eat-moot Report and Pics. Thanks, glad to know the hobbits are well on their way.
My nandina is putting out shoots so I guess it'll be okay.
Heh, good point!
Hope to hear from Rosie this evening. I'm wondering if she'll be in town tomorrow night or Thursday.
Yeah - let us know when she checks in and where....
Shall do!
Whenever she arrives, the rest of the week is supposed to be lovely. Northern Colorado putting on a show for a weary Hobbit-lass...
Whoo-hooo; that's great. Glad it worked out. Now for a bit of rain to settle in the mulch, but not too much. :-) Gypsygirl is sitting by the door. BBL
Miss Cat is lounging by the sgd. I think she really wants a sunroom.
Hey there all! [sip]
Hello, hello!
Watching American Idol. Tonight's theme is musicals.
Hair - that pic is VEY interesting. And that's all I'll say about that....
My pleasure to share it!
Did you notice the Pirates Attack Yachts thread? Check out the boat's name. :-D
