I take the "better story..." part back

          After watching this, I remembered my 2006 story (written in 2008) about a similar hawk which almost landed on Pam's head.  I take back the part about actually wishing he'd landed.  The story is good enough without what would have resulted in lacerations and a ninety-minute drive to get her scalp stitched.

          I created this advertisement (for my fiancée), which will be published in the next issue of a local quarterly belly dance magazine called From the Hip.

I'm a Teamster

          Another first.  My new position is servicing vehicles at National/Alamo car rental (cleaning, refueling, etc) which is a union job so I'm now a member of the Teamsters Local 305.

          I've never been in a union.  None of my assorted previous jobs were union and then I joined the Army.

          If—35 years ago—someone had said (while working my way through college) that in 2014 it would be considered an accomplishment just to be hired full-time at a union job with benefits, I would have scoffed.  Scoffed aloud...I tell you.

Frozen Solid - Day 2

Soon. Very soon.

          14 years ago the orange-splashed smart I decided against buying in Germany would've cost 11K, but wouldn't have been convertible and wouldn't have all the tech-extras of the matte grey one I ordered yesterday.  Even though the price has almost doubled since 2000, I'm quite pleased.
          Expected build-date is in April.  Delivery should be late May or early June.
