Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |

I don't think there's any part of Homer that would be useful in a break-in either. Gidget, maybe, but she's a loose cannon... not exactly what you want in a real battle.
I can just see her going after a bad guy with her mouth full of Kong...yeah, that's intimidating...
Mmmmmm.....brisket....
Yeah - the kong is kindof counter productive in an attack. And the kong is my fault. I'd give her a kong when she would get agitated at the TV, so she wouldn't bark. Now she thinks she needs it whenever she's agitated.
Well, we've let the horses out and I'm trying to relax. We put FoTR on, hoping that will help.
We've got a potentially very stormy night ahead of us tonight. But I don't want to think about that yet.
This time the danger is more wind than flooding, no?
Though it's still coming down pretty good...and my umbrella is in the car. Go figure.
At least the car is not far :~)
Wind and more rain, which won't help those that are flooding. They're expecting the precip in the mountains to be snow. So that will help with the flooding, unless it melts. :~) So many variables...
They just reported that at 11 inches of rain since the start of November, we are 500% over normal for the month (a little less than 2 inches would be normal)
I think when percentages become really large, or really small, they start becoming not very helpful :~)
If I wait long enough all the leaves will blow into the neighbors' yards.
heh-heh, same here..keep the leaves blowing right along..
I agree about the sappy part; sometimes WAY too forced, and the real meaning of Christmas is lost to the 'everybody feel good' idea of Christmas.
When Joseph mows, we have him use the grass catcher. Sucks those leaves right up, chops them up, and he can dump them right in the woods in the back! Heck of a lot easier than raking, that's for sure!
Sigh.
I hate to think what my word count should be. But the laundry hasn't been folded in a week, everywhere needs to be vaccumed, the sink has too many dishes in it... I'm starting to get depressed about my housekeeping skills.
I see I need a new password on muh blog. ;-)
I've got a grass catcher for my mulching mower. The problem is that it's not very big. That and the mower won't start unless it's installed correctly and I've never been able to get it right.
I is working on fixing some stuff. Was just about to freepmail ya. ;)
Well, I did 3400 words today... All of it a political speech and crowd reaction and I must say that my character was a speechafyin' something fierce. So, in the past three days, I did about 12,000 words. I am now over 138,000 words and closing in on 500 pages. Now, I know that does not even compare with the tremendous word output that you two have done in just 12 days...but I've been working hard and just wanted to share my success.
And therein lies my problem. ;-)
Glad we could provide some impetus. ;-) That's another nice thing about NaNo, seriously...being able to chat with other writers is often a good way to get moving on an older story or figure out ways to move past obstacles.
I feel like I'm writing into the dark these past few days, though...don't have a clue what's happening next. And that bothers me. At least today I had a few break-throughs, so I won't be sitting and staring at the wall at today's write-in.
Out of curiosity, how do you figure pages? I'm just working with a word processor, and I'm not sure how big the average book page is, really.
