well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun,
and the first one said to the second one there i hope you're having fun...

i won't kid myself. the 18 miler yesterday was hell. but i got up today and ran the 3 miler listed on the schedule anyway. no work, no gain. it's been cloudy all day. fine by me. at least it's cool.

the baby squirrel, according the lady (i ran into her this morning)is doing well and keeping to the backyard for now. he seems to like bread...she feeds the neighborhood squirrels peanuts. she also said that he can't quite grasp climbing down the tree facing down, he comes down ass first... :-)
she also said that the squirrel's recovery brought the boy, who lives in the house, happiness. he helped with the nursing.

such is a big lesson taught by a tiny life.

well, frances hit florida. not as bad as it could have been considering it went from a category 4 to a 2. still Mother Nature is a force to be reckoned with. no steel, concrete or manmade item is a match for wind and water.

another lesson to the pompous man who thinks The Woman can be tamed. she ultimately commands respect.

i'm currently dealing with no hot water...it's been 3 @#$%'en days. a wonderful gift from our wonderful landlady. sore muscles are unforgiving when you run cold water on them. alas, 18 milers require a shower. so there's not much i can do but do what i have to do to become clean...but take cool showers. i don't like cold water.
~~~
but i have an extra day off from work
a pint of vanilla fudge ice cream waiting for my spoon
and LOTR The Return of the King waiting in the VCR
i'm throwing myself a party
you're all invited
well, at least, some of you...
;-)

    I'm so happy for the baby squirrel and his new family of caretakers.
    We've been following Frances here, the man has a friend stuck down there at the moment (he was delivering supplies to aid the Charles vicitims)

    Enjoy your ice cream!

    Just to jog my memory of what it is like to be without hot water, while in the shower I shut off the hot and took a cold one.
    Damned uncomfortable!!!!!!!!
