The end of the day
OK, so I didn't get that much e-corresponding done.... Still, here are a few snippets to hold us all until *mumble?*
Today when I went out to the car to go get Mike from the bus stop and Cowboy from the vet's (in that order, yes), I was surprised to see a jack rabbit bound out of hiding on our lawn and boing down the driveway. They are unmistakable, way bigger than our usual cottontails, with SuperSized black-tipped ears. I have no idea where it came from; we've lived here 20 years and it's the first one I've seen in the area.
Cowboy was glad to be allowed to come home, and kept trying very hard to let us know he was sorry for whatever he did that made us send him off to That Place. Poor old feller. His teeth look a lot better now, though.
The wind finally died down and the only thing that needed setting right was for Mike to fetch one of our wheelbarrows from the bar ditch across the road. Except it's COLD right now, 18 degrees! Yay, crazy weather (not).
Our local Democrat group signed up to be part of the big nationwide conference call kick-off for 2006, and we got to hear good old Howard Dean give a little speech and answer a few questions. Man, technology is cool! He praised Colorado in particular and said all the states should follow our example, so we were chuffed! After the phone call, we sat around talking and kicking around plans and ideas, and yes, I got some new assignments to go with my job as county WebWonk. :/ One of which is to attend a meeting in the morning, so I can't stay up as late as I was going to. Hence some of the lack of replies and email.
In closing, two funny things. One is a joke Howard told--after the election results came in out in California, they've started calling Gov. Ahnuld the One-Term-inator.
The other funny thing is the fake name on one of those Nigerian style spam-phish letters I got yesterday: Boris Loginov! I just stared and then started laughing. How does this guy expect us potential fraud victims to take him seriously when he goes around making up such slyly computer-referential names?
