Totally Random ...

I'm getting to where I think my day through in terms of what I'll post ... I don't know if that's sad or not. Anyway, some stuff just doesn't belong anywhere else, so I thought this might work nicely ...

Totally Random ...

It finally feels like it's summer!

Today while on our road trip to the airport ... while on the backroads we came upon a hawk. We got pretty close before he took off, but he hung low for quite a while, and his wingspan I bet was 6 feet. We were all jazzed, but my niece who has lived her whole life in the big city was crazed!

Then the fields... The winter wheat was tall and dry and ready. Some fields had already been baled - huge (maybe 7' or 8') round bales (when I first saw these it felt like the fields had been harvested by aliens!) The corn is already a couple feet high, and the pastures were all full of cows.

All in all, a beautiful day for a road trip!

The fireflies are stunning this evening.

I just heard a crack of thunder ... the storm is coming!

I was out driving the two-lane the other day. I looked out and there was a little boy playing in his driveway. Not too little, 8 or 9. He was on his wheels going round about, just out playing on a beautiful day. At the exact same time both my heart sank and a smile broke on my face. His wheels ... a motorized wheelchair.

Okay, that was both amazingly touching and just a tad too maudlin at the same time. You want random? I got your random, one of my best friends just called, haven't talked to him in about three years. We had a six minute phone call, five minutes of which was us making plans to spend a weekend down at the lake sometime after the fourth. Three years and it took us like 60 seconds to totally reconnect. That's a good friend.

Hehe! I want one of those for my dog, it'd be useless though. How many times do you have to hear "Chicken, is that chcken? Can I have some chicken? I haven't had chicken in like, ever. Gimme some chicken, pleeeeeeeeease? *chomp* *pant pant* Chicken, is that chcken? Can I have some chicken? I haven't had chicken in like, ever. Gimme some chicken, pleeeeeeeeease?" before you're tossing the damned collar in the lake?

LMAO!! or, translated from the mind of a puppy the first time its let outdoors: "wassat? wassat? wassat? wassat? wassat? wanna play? wassat? wassat? I gotta pee. wassat? wassat? wassat? wanna play? wassat? wassat? wassat? wassat?

Hehehe! Exactly. God I love dogs, I really do, but even the smart ones are just goldfish with slightly longer memories.

hey now!! My dog's pretty smart!! Sometimes I think she's smarter than I am, I mean she remembers some things a lot longer than I.............what were we talking about again? ....I sort of forgot.........SQUIRREL!!!

SQUIRREL?! Where's the SQUIRREL?!?! I hate SQUIRRELS!!! Ooh, look, something shiny... Yeah, like I said they're so easily distracted.

Yep, random is good. ^^ You guys gave me some good chucks there!

Tonight when I went out driving I saw two rabbits and two deer (does). It's been a little while since I've seen either of them.

Nope. He might have been off in the woods tho.

Banyan VINES. I miss it, it was the first really decent network architecture and in a way we still have it with us in the form of AD and the legacy of VINES lives on, but I miss the real thing. Part of me wonders what our world would be like if the white hats had one a few in the early days. If DRI had been aggressive in protecting the CP/M and fought apple's lawsuit over GEM, if Banyan had managed to prevail over Novell and Micro$oft, if Apple had just done us all a real favor and dropped the proprietary bullshit that slowed down software development for the better part of a decade. I can't help thinking we'd live with a cleaner, more stable, more interesting PC world. It would definitely be more UNIX like, which I think is a good thing. Okay, that's all. It was just a random thought.

This picture just captures my imagination. But what really gets me is that when I look at it, I see the woman in the red dress as Emily... her hair, her neckline, her back, her figure, her gracefulness...

I love that painting is called "The Singing Butler" and you're right Sherry, I can totally see Emily in the woman dancing there.

Here's another painting of his, a littel, um, steamier. This one is entitled "Game On" and although neither the man nor woman resemble David and Emily, I can't help but see Booth & Brennan when I look at this painting (it must be the shipper in me!).

Not little, lot steamier. And I'll venture a guess ... "Serendipity".

Bingo and we have a winner! Tell me that doesn't just scream B & B in Serendipity. I'm telling ya', blc writes some good smuff.

I was sitting at the park this evening reading and the bullfrogs were just a croaking. It was a nice soundtrack!
