can't trust that day. the remainder of this post shall follow a brief intermission for a long-overdue picture post, which will conclude with images segueing deftly into the post-o-the-moment.
it occurred to me today that i've taken a few pretty good shots lately, and it's been awhile since i did a picture post (actually it's been 79 days since i last posted an image of any kind, and 94 since i posted anything relevant to what was going on at the time) so here goes. i've put the pictures in chronological order- they end with today's current events. i thought it might be more interesting to scroll through this stuff in the order it took place.

last saturday, the day before yesterday
saturday morning at home, Loren finishing his breakfast, reading a Spider-Man comic
2005.04.18.05.32.34.pst
this morning (monday)
Loren with his notebook for school; we're about to leave to drive to his mom's before i go to work.
2005.04.18.06.46.33.pst
this morning again, 74 minutes later
the completely spiderwebbed windshield of my '92 geo metro, parked after limping home from my hood flying up.
2005.04.18.06.46.44.pst
this morning again
driver's view through the broken windshield.
i'll edit this post a little later to complete the pictures i wanted to post- i'm out of gas for now.
so, my truck's on the road- that's good. i still need to replace the heater core before i can simultaneously enjoy heat and breathable air in the cab. that's bad. got my insurance switched over to the truck so i can drive it- that's good. insurance payment is a little more expensive, and the car isn't insured now- that's bad. i was a little more than three hours late for work this morning. that's bad. i worked 3 hrs late with the rest of the guys and basically made up for it; that's good. i missed out on enough OT to pay for at least half the cost of a new windshield for the car- that's bad. went grocery shopping at Costco for coffee- that's good. spent maybe too much on other stuff too- that's bad. that's stuff's all food which will eventually get eaten and a lot of it is stuff to pack in lunches, which saves me the expense of buying lunch during work- that's good. Loren worked on his homework last night and put a big enough dent in it all to get back on track- that's good too. he also made adequate progress on a writing assignment, putting him back on schedule to finish the project in time- that's also good. he's been set up with a bedroom of his own at his mother's house- that's certainly good. his brother was the one who wanted it to happen, over his protests- that's bad. he seems to be adjusting fairly well and taking advantage of it in ways you might expect a 6th grader to- that's good. had a nice conversation with him on the phone this evening- that's definitely good. talked to my friend Elsa on the phone tonight- that's good too. dealt with one of the neighbors who had his car towed for parking in the wrong spot in the neighborhood- that's not so good. he didn't seem pissed at me personally since i didn't actually initiate the tow- that's good. i found out for him where the car had been taken- that's good. i felt bad for the guy, it looked like it was a significant source of stress for him- ironically, that's good, since i could empathize with the guy. while i was feeling a little bad for him i walked back by my car with the smashed-in windshield and thought, "everyone's got their problems, don't they." ...that's life.
way past time to MOVE AWAY from the computer. PEACE

authors of respectful and/or good-natured comments are welcomed with the full hospitality of the proprietor, and offered a comfortable chair in the warm glow of the hearth.
miscreants will be silenced, and hunted down by an ever-growing, unsleeping horde of darkly efficient Hideous Minions, each more terrible than the last, singularly and collectively gripped with an insatiable lust to brutally inflict whatever arbitrary and horribly whimsical retribution seems most ridiculously inappropriate to them at the time.
