rat scared me
i tripped, and
ripped my pants
on a guardrail.
shit.
12,12,9,7, and the guard politely asked me to leave.
steel tentacles reach for the sky.
with no hands
they can't grasp.
only gesture.

+1
Today was day two for hundred push ups, 12-12-10-10-17. Did it outside, it was nice.
I'm actually at my ancestral home (or something) right now. It's certainly weird to be 'home' - my bedroom isn't my bedroom anymore. Nor are either of my sister's. Times change. There are also a lot more trees, my house backs up on a wood, lots of laurel's, oak, and holly trees.
it's nice.
ran some errands today, picked up a better clip for my keys, sae and metrix hex sets (ones that are all attached as one tool) some cable clips for cable tv cable, some washers so i can remove the lame dealership "frames" on my license plates (rather than new screw, the screws they used were funny, slotted hex head, 1/4 diam 1 inch long, and very few threads. kinda like a wood screw.
also, i've been itching to listen to smashing pumpkins recently, so i picked up melon collie and the infinite sadness. amazing how many singles came from that. also picked up two books, the next star wars book in the series i was reading and something new, called the gargoyle, looked interesting. english patient-y. (i never read that, but it makes me think of the seinfeld episode.)

your head would collapse
I just returned from 2 weeks of TDY in Flagstaff, Az (business travel for my job). It was a good trip and with the little downtime I had, I got to see a lot, check out my pictures.
Worked a lot of odd hours, at high elevation, and am also contending/contended with a difference in time zone. Hiking in the Grand Canyon also totally kicked my ^&*%#!*(@@.
As an excuse, I had gotten pretty sick and wore marks in the carpet between my bed and the toilet, as well as having gone through a roll and a half of t.p. You can fill in the blanks on what happened.
Anyway, there was a scary incident with my iron today, and I might have left the parking brake on while driving tonight, and confused it for something being wrong with my (brand new) car. I'm still nervous and will see tomorrow when I go to drive it to work.
Did I mention i'm nervous?
In other news N. is back from Siinnnnt Maaarrrteen, Saint Marten, Sassy Marvin, or whatever the island is called. I'm jealous, it's a week of vacation on an island. And you can sleep/get up whatever time you want, not 2:30 am to work an 11 hour shift. Very nice that she's back even though she'd probably prefer to continue laying on a beach doing aerobic zipline workouts through jungle rope courses.
but the grand canyon was cool.
Maybe i'm losing my brain, maybe i've lost it.
work tomorrow and things to do
don't push too hard, cause... well, you know the rest
