So I talked with my mom in Anchorage, and she says that someone broke into her apartment and took her computer charger again. That’s right, again. Now, if you steal from a woman who is over ten grand in debt, has a car from the 80s, and can barely hold a steady job because of her health, I’d want to kill you if you did it a third time.
When I lived in Seattle, someone came into the house I was staying in and turned on the stove. It was left red hot the entire day. I told the people I was living with that it wasn’t me and of course they didn’t believe me. Missing telescope equipment, not me. When I lived North of Seattle someone managed to disengage my car’s parking brake and the damn thing rolled down the driveway and smashed into the neighbor’s tree. It caused the car’s window to shatter. The neighbors assumed it was me, but I said it wasn’t. Guess what, they didn’t believe me. When I said that someone drugged me at a coffee shop and I started acting weird and yelling in the U-District, no one believed me. (So, what the fuck if I dropout of school and toss change around UW. Fuck you people.) When my mom says that her computer’s charger and her bedroom clock radio was unplugged next to her window, I’m assuming that that is the absolute truth.
Geez, Trav, sounds like you and your mom have some serious lower-astral-realm spirits following you around and messing with you. :reaper: :omg:
I hate when they mess with the computer charger. Our pup Bud is possessed with the spirit of Santa’s Little Helper (kinda looks like him too except his nose is half pink). The little bastard ate my computer charger several weeks ago. 😡 I was not very happy about that. 😡 He’s lucky he is so cute but he’s still on the :crap: list.
Lola gets her Lyme Disease shot today. Lyme is carried by deer ticks who seem not to realize that dogs and people are not deer. Everyone on Shelter Island has had it. Sometimes it acts like the flu, makes you sick for a while, and then goes away. Sometimes it causes other symptoms and lingers for years. Mike has had it twice. There is no human Lyme vaccine…only for dogs.
There is an experimental program on the island. Deer feeding stations were set up and when the deer come to feed they are sprayed with permethrin. It does a really good job of cutting down on the ticks. The program violates state law because it is illegal to lure deer by setting up feeding stations, so it is a continuing problem to keep getting authorization from the state. But, without the program people spray all kinds of things on their property to keeps the ticks away.
While the weather isn’t very springlike, ticks are a sure sign that spring has arrived.
Ann Romney: ‘I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice :no:
Clueless. I think she’s channeling Dubya. :ear: It’s gonna be interesting to see how often she sticks that silver foot in her mouth.
You watch this Romney thing evolve and you have to figure they think Ann is their best ‘weapon’. How about a debate with the FLotUS? She might just win in the face of that scary angry (i.e. too smart, too intelligent) black woman thing.
That’s the kind of material I hammer out without sleeping. Bad post on my part.
The flight was great by the way. Still need to sleep to rid the jet lag.
My mom probably left it in coffee shop.
