Come From Away

Q. How does a 5 pound dog and an 80 pound dog get along?
A. Strangely, surprisingly well.

The following is a daily occurrence:

The kids still like the swing set I built them last summer… As with many of these sorts of things, the novelty wears out and it gets used less often than when first built. On the upside, a new group of hooligans have discovered that it can be quite a lot of fun to play on.

This year, there was only one car load of five boys at our door. . .

On our way into town on Friday, we noticed two cruise ships in the harbour. The Norwegian Jewel was docked and a second ship, which we did not catch the name of, was manoeuvring into the dock. I’m not sure how many people can be aboard these two monsters, but if they all disembarked for a visit, I am sure there would be a noticeable increase in the town’s population.

Stepped outside this morning to grab a piece of wood from the pile that is still outside and should be in the basement and there were hundreds of birds in the tree over our deck and all the trees around our property.

Why SPAM Network Appliances
should not reply to spammers

• Joe Spammer sends an email to Jill.
• Fucking Joe uses my email address as the return address (an extremely easy thing to fake).
• Jill’s moronic network admin has his spam appliance configured to reply to the spammer with some sort of “no thank you” message. Idiot!

BUT!!

• I am listed as the return contact.
• Now repeat this scenario many, many, many more times.
• My Unfortunate Little Server receives 12, 000 messages in one day! Over 20, 000 in four days!
• Think people!!

At some point every sunny day, if you look out the window of our studio, you will find Glory (our peacock) driving the old pickup.

He likes to do this from the box.

Thirteen cords of wood!

So far I have finished blocking it all. Here’s an “aerial” photograph:

Silo?

Yup, silo.

Welcome to country living… Our current high speed internet tower is the silo at the Meerbur’s pig farm… The Meerburg’s went “belly up” about a year ago and now some one purchased their farm… The new owner wants to move the silo and we may lose our high speed tower…FUCK! Science damn it!

Every morning the radio wakes us up to crummy music, announcements and the usual idiotic radio announcer. . .

One of the ones today, had both K and I chuckling away:

The Chamber of Commerce of the Greater Charlottetown Area would like to welcome the law firms of Cox and Palmer to its membership…

They must have said “Cox ‘n Palmer” 5 times during the announcement. Silly, childish, but still funny. Later on I started thinking (always a dangerous action)… When we first moved here, we had to visit a lawyer to get some document notarised regarding something finalising the sale of our house back in MTL. The firm’s name would grow in its hilarity if he joined them as they would become, “Cox, Palmer and Ghiz!”
