List your phone numbers, solicitors can't legally call you anymore after October 1, 2003, if you do.

Something to think about:
Stores always say: "No shirt, no shoes, no service"
But how did the first person purchase shirts and shoes without breaking this rule?

If I lost all my shoes, would I have to have a friend run in and buy me a pair? What if I had no friends?

I drove without shoes on today. I like the feeling of the petals on my bare feet. I think I'm gonna do that more often.

Gouranga Gouranga Gouranga.
Say Gouranga my friend.
Gouranga……That which brings the highest happiness!!

Whatever that guy's on, please give me double.

I got some errands done last night, needed to be done for a while. Now Becky doesn't have an ID that expired 2 years ago and shows her at age 16 (well, she does for now anyway, but in "7-10 days" she won't. ;-)), I also now have a belt clip on my phone again, I'm blaming Anna even though it wasn't her fault at all (it was breaking for the last week or so, and it finally gave).

But I should be getting into the office now, 4am-12p would have been 8 hours at my desk, but the window from 3a-5a is always when stuff breaks, so I can't be on the road then.

bleh, I've had a headache all evening, this sucks. On the other hand, there's a few more people in my department in california now, so now I feel like it's more likely I'll be able to take some vacation time to go camping this year. yay!

Several items of note for the day:

• I got a really kickass window fan my mom was gonna sell at a yard sale. I got first pickings at $0 cost, and this thing just rocks me, pushes far more air than the little wimpy fan we have in the window currently.
• Anna rocks hardcore. I was afraid she was going all defiant and shit, naw, she's just really a bit confused and really misunderstood. I really enjoyed hanging out with her quite a bit, I'll have to do that more often. (and gabe, you know I wanna take her to the vous party, but you know I can't. 😛 )
• All my sisters are looking so grown up now. I'm really kinda disturbed. It was weird to see Amanda in a McDonalds uniform, because she looked so much older all a sudden. (But you gotta know I ordered the extra large fries, which I'd have to say they pulled the basket a bit early on, because they were kinda sorta soggy. Everyone here knows I had to take her to task about that. 🙂 )
• I gotta pay attention to my cooling fan. It didn't kick on when I was in the parking lot of the Mobil rigging up my power inverter to make the last few posts, and the car was venting antifreeze. Not a problem at all when I'm moving, I just gotta watch the thing when I'm stationary.
• Meijer has a really good deal on 6 packs of Hanes breifs, 3 packs for $15. Now I've got a whole collection of undies that all fit like God intended.
• I got my Dad a kick ass vise for fathers day, I hope he likes it, because if he doesn't like it I'm keeping it! 🙂
• I'm testing out my packetstream service (I think it's limited to 2 meg transfer or something like that, and it's far and beyond better than circuit switched. I'm trying now to figure out a way to upgrade my plan to a higher transfer limit and potentially ditch circuit switched entirely.)
• I'm really happy right now, can't noone take that away from me.
• Oh, and made her first contact via a repeater that wasn't me on Friday, and she hit a band opening and talked to a gentleman in Wisconsin on 2 meters. What a great intro to the hobby!

  This post is far too long, but it's been a really cool weekend so far. w00t!

Anna kicks soo much ass. w00t.
More and more like me every day. I'm scared, I truly am.
Met , he's pretty weird, but funny and cool.
I'm so upset I lost my camera, Anna and I were sitting on top of a monument. I got to find out about the death parking lot, and the fun of hanging out in a cemetary. w00t.

We're all crazy here. Really, we are.
