Warwak, a former fishing guide, said he became a vegan in January.
He's probably haunted by fishy ghosts.
A couple of fairly remote cousins have done most of the geneological heavy lifting for my ancestors who were in Massachusetts in the 1630s. No one's been able to trace Morris Tucker back to England, though. As one of those cousins once said, "I can get him back to the water but I can't get him on that damn boat." My suspicion, from what we know about him, is that he may have been an indentured servant, and they were frequently not listed separately. I could probably find out more about the Czech side now that there's an internet, but I don't know where to start. On the Irish side, it looks like I need some birth and death records from Buffalo, NY, and the last time I checked, they were still not online. I don't care enough to actually go to Buffalo.
ION, the temperature dropped 10 degrees. And it's really gray out there.
So I should take a jacket and/or umbrella when I leave for my 5pm meeting?
I don't care enough to actually go to Buffalo.
Not even to shuffle off there?
Umbrella.
I mean, it's still 71 degrees out. (It got up to 82 out here.)
But considering how windy it is -- the jacket might stand you in better stead than the umbrella in protecting you from rain.
I am back from Dramatic Reversal Morning.
Had a job interview for a temp assignment. Turned out they actually wanted a Visual Basic programmer but only wanted to pay Word Processor rates. That was beyond my scope.
Went by my temp agency and they had nothing.
Which sucks because we are really, really scraping after my last month of partial work finishing the book.
And then as I wandered the streets and felt stressed and disconsolate got a call from my agency. They've got a job that starts tomorrow at one of my regular places and it goes for two months. Woot! That will make a big difference.
The Magna Carta is SO last millennium! Our forward-thinking president has already renounced its most important provisions. It's just not relevant anymore here in the Bush Empire.
Good news, David. And I hope first company gets screwed by trying to cheap it out.
I went outside and discovered a half-dozen fire engines, some ambulances, and a mobile command unit. And yet there were no firefighters, hot or otherwise, for me to ogle. Does that seem right to you?
Not right at all, shrift.
David - whoo hoo on the temp job!
