will wonders never cease 2003-01-11 - 3:03 p.m. Even as I write, a flat-bed 18-wheeler is loading up the two junkers to take them away. I can hardly believe my eyes. The mind is the first to go, and I've been in top form this week. First I mailed one eBay customer's package to a different customer. Then I helpfully misplaced the materials for BF's new checking account. Argh. Fortunately, customer number one says he has mailed the package to customer number two. And the bank looked up BF's account number and gave him a new copy of his contract. I almost misfiled my tax documents in the wrong place after calculating my quarterly taxes, but fortunately I caught that mistake while searching for the paypal account information which I had also helpfully lost for the old BF. I will have to start eating more fish or something. I've spent most of the afternoon proof-reading BF's novel, which will be hosted on the Kuro5hin.org website, where he is a frequent contributor. Another reader offered to buy ads for it. So BF is bowing to popular demand. It will be interesting to see the reaction. It's called The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect, and it's the story of the three laws of robotics gone horribly, horribly wrong. I bet Asimov never visualized quite this much of the old ultra-violence arising from a strict interpretation of the classic laws. As if this wasn't achievement enough, BF learned HTML in, I kid thee not, approximately 15 minutes, and HTML-ized the whole novel in a few hours -- mostly in the back seat of the company vehicle while going to Arkansas. BF has also installed a large acrylic baffle on the suet feeder, much to the frustration and consternation of the squirrels. The Cardinals have already re-discovered the feeder, but they haven't yet remembered how to use it. They are not really built for hanging upside-down like the Chickadees, Titmice, and Wrens. They used to sort of fly at the feeder and make crumbs drop off the suet cake that they could eat off the ground. Then first the female and later the male developed enough strength to be able to hover long enough to grab bites of food directly out of the feeder. But I guess that those muscles atrophied again while the feeder was out of commission due to the tireless efforts of greedy squirrels. later While cleaning up after dinner, I suddenly remembered the single most idiotic thing I did this week. It is a "must" to be added to the stupidity list. I put a bottle of wine in the freezer to get it cold, planning to leave it there for 10 minutes. Then I decided I was too tired and didn't want any wine but I forgot to take it out of the freezer. When I opened the freezer in the morning, the wine in the neck had frozen and pushed the cork out of the bottle. At least the alcohol content (it was a shiraz) was high enough to keep it from exploding, or I'd really have a mess on my hands. I just checked and, sure enough, Mercury is retrograde. Normally Mercury retrogrades don't affect me much but, for whatever reason, this one is getting a little ridiculous. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
