fine whine

Noticing a lot of dorky instructions on things as of late. Bought HP 5370 Scanner. Had full motion video instructions on how to plug
in all cables. One of the videos showed me how to put the plug into a wall outlet. Duh. This morning opened up bag of oatmeal and
read instructions. ‘For thicker oatmeal, add less water. For thinner oatmeal, add more water.’ Duh.


Dad called me last night and we talked of Playstation 2. Plays Playstation 1 games. Plays DVDs. Plays Playstation 2 games. How
can you lose? Here’s how: only 500,000 will be available through the end of the year. There is demand for several million.
Go to eBay and check out the insanity.
Shortages are cool.


My mom found a little black dog and brought him to my yard. Can’t stand him. He’s a whiner. If he does something wrong, he runs and
hides, so ‘correction’ isn’t easy. He’s a freaking wuss. He is outside right now moaning like a cat. The bassett hound is most likely
plotting his death. Also, hope that real owner of this yellow bellied mutt puts up ‘Lost Gutless Dog’ signs and this can
end. He has at least 15 different ways to blubber and cry. Comforting him doesn’t help as he starts right up after I leave.
Ugh. As I type this he is outside trying to escape the yard through a
one inch gap under the gate. I hope he makes it.


Finding days are getting shorter. Period between being awake and alert and feeling sleepy seems to be getting smaller. Forced
myself to stay up til’ 1 AM last night to prove point. Walked into bedroom thereafter and crashed. Woke up late. Doh! Think I’ll
go outside and scare the new dog one more time before I leave.
