Loads taking an inordinately long time here.
Signal weak. Holding off won’t make it any better.
When there’s no hole, especially. Right?
“You mean outlet?”

Of course.

Well, it's being boosted from Safeway, for crying out loud.
Put an image through the mill; piece of work and a half.
Didn't have a look at the menu until ready to go.
Greek Shrimp Capellini. There's a matter of fusion.
They're only across the Ionian.

Got done. Got away. Time to get home.

Duct Tape Sagas

Left power cord behind at coffeeplace.
Processing photos, keeping in touch; waylayed.

On way out, didn't pack in attaché...
good thing still there. Back-up in worse shape:


This thing doesn't know what to focus upon.

Soup Tonight

Was going to do Chicken l'orange but went out for a while.

Writer's convention taking up space at coffee place as I processed my stuff. Couldn't sit up straight. Lounged. Then guys loudly running a meeting of the I Am Somebody Society took up the rest of aural adjacency. (Had to go to earbuds.) No class and I told them so.

Good Bible Study and I've delayed a read of suggested text; went to see R&B people at Char's. (After processing said stuff!) Except for staff and principals, all strangers. Don't get around much any more. Left and will make time for Hebrews 12.

That means no chicken.

Fortunately, scooped soups on sale yesterday.
Will suffice.

Would have liked to have taken pictures of Larry and Company.

Sparse crowd. Wouldn't have been unobtrusive.

Conflicted vis promotion too.

Verily, dramming only regular locus for such folk to earn living.

My, my... haven't posted in some time.

And some times I've had.

Haven't we all.

Tomorrow must remember to swing by Bookstar for this.

Highly recommended by someone out of the blue.
Then I've got a dragon shooting, along with some terrain nearby.

Agendas. One at a time. Which list to put them on?

What do you want for Christmas?

An electron microscope.


Thank you Dr. Barrios-Perez.
These have got me thinking fractals, tie-dies and batik!

Remember getting your first microscope and slicing onions?
One man's pond scum is another's universe.

Surprised

The first of the pink oleanders has bloomed.

There's red and yellow to come.

The sun is retreating behind the eave during the day so they won't be as scorched, and the evening temperature is cooling so the soil should retain more moisture. Looking forward...

I dislike my camera much - cannot get well focused shots at all, but love the Photobucket editor for to salvage the pictures.

Obsessed

The moon full over weekend, must have spent half and hour finding a spot and fiddling with the camera to get this shot. It's topography well defined and a splendid silhouette, wasn't able to capture. Make do.

Did have lucrative (behaviors same) time; got boots.

Nothing Doing

Been a while.

I've taken to driving a cab a couple of nights a week for almost a month now. The investments are not paying and I shouldn't deplete the capital anymore. All toward toward expenses, which still add up even though the house and car are paid for.

Consequently, the working hours - from 4 pm to 4 am - has me defaulting to that schedule through the week. Quite the homebody, reading and watching videos. Except for the coffee places, haven't gone out at all, though not much beyond the tedious happening.

I've thought about blogging on driving - the people encountered, maybe ask for a photo - but can only imagine the complications. Had a thought too that getting around might afford opportunity to take pictures; not really - much focused on being dispatched and making money. There's not much beyond the tedious there as well. Nothing interesting about inebriates.

That's the floor I'm staring at while sitting near the "cage" waiting for a cab. I like it, driving, despite the risks and the hit or miss of a busy night. Most are quite lucrative. I really don't want to work for anyone and certainly have no desire to involve myself in business.

So the social life revolves around a coffee place open until midnight. Use the WiFi to download movies and keep up with breathtaking events. That's one of the expenses I can entertain now (or soon), getting a plug-in modem and buying wireless myself. (On dial-up; the premium paid for speeding it up by compression not worth a shit.) Just trying to factor whether I should give up the wired phone too. Combination of the telephone and ISP accounts is the same cost as the WiFi service. Not to mention saving on all that coffee. Did get a nice shot of an unfortunate tree outside of one of the places.
