it finally happened: bear put on a burst of speed just as penny turned and lunged backwards at the climbing vine on a mailbox pole. my arms were jerked in two directions at once. thank god neither of them was running. i think there is a small muscle pulled between my shoulderblades.
walking back on sweetbriar lane, we came upon (a) several piles of brush; (b) a VERY fascinating of leather tevas that penny took a proprietary interest in, but was forced to abandon where she found them, as i did not wish to write an explanatory letter to mike and pamela miller; and (c) a tremendous amount of fireworks-litter. recall that TODAY is july 4. woodland forrest is a den of iniquity when it comes to illegal fireworks; they were practicing (i presume) all night last night.
i try not to jinx myself by turning back to my first- and second-choice radio stations too quickly when they're playing nothing good (like eminem and 36 mafia, or faith hill and r kelly), because i don't wish to be disappointed. instead i've been turning back, lately, just a BIT too late to catch my current addiction-song (1000 miles--it's a miracle i haven't caved and bought the cd yet, and entirely due to wishing very very hard to save my money). i keep coming back in the middle of the second verse and it's quite frustrating. i don't dare put audiogalaxy on b&d's computer, though, cable modem aside, even if i deleted it later; *sigh*. must wait for tomorrow. suddenly that's an eternity.
guinevere33, the gateway guy thinks i can fix the modem driver problem with the winxp disc by booting from it (after i get the esc key fixed, *cough*) and performing a repair on the operating system. i tried to tell him that it already didn't work that way, but he knows more than me, etc, etc. i figure i'll give it a try, if that's acceptable. we could have a slumber party at b&d's and watch any number of movies, including every episode of monty python's flying circus.
[edit: oh, 'h' comes AFTER 'g'!]
