Dracula and Bush are both welcome; there are little critters for blood and plenty to screw up. false hyperb 2006-06-08T21:31:00-07:00 2006-06-09T17:28:25Z 2006-06-09T05:39:38Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354691.post-114983157830321342 That's Living There’s a community of people living in their cars on the gravel road framing my workplace. Toss in a few drug users, the occasional theft, tagging, poop behind the tip, trains colliding as planned, jets flying low on final approach and you’re at the front door of my local industrial heaven. East London and the Thames at low tide still win my heart however. Where was I?

"I'm buying a little pot and then going to your mom's house." This joins other slips... To Stacy, "You smell like petroleum." While on the phone, surrounded by co-workers, I promised a customer I would protect her popular product from other salespeople - wanting to sell it.

This bugger startled me in the parking lot, so I felt compelled to work it into an insane bat frenzy. Sorry dog lovers, but 4 thoughts come to mind when I see, hear or think about little yappy dogs. #1 Trap shooting #2 A Fish Called Wanda #3 Kickoff in American football #4 My neighbor's chiwawa (Moses Lake) that took on a rottweiler, while defending its yard and lost a tooth false hyperb 2006-03-27T23:21:00-08:00 2006-04-09T13:37:25Z 2006-04-09T06:46:21Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354691.post-114456518141791600 I'm A Father! While watching TV, my fish tank, I discovered small fry! Spotted 1, then 2, 3, 4, wow. They're about 3mm long, have all the fin fittings, are twitchy and have eyes with growing room, like sneakers on a 12 year old. A few brave ones swim to the surface for dinner, after the big fish are full. There are at least 8 in the tank and if they all live, I'll have a dilemma.

Regardless, my engine was not getting any and sat for a month while I tried to fix it. After admitting I was getting nowhere, Gene suggested his favorite mechanic, Mike. As you know, good mechanics are like secret fishing holes. Don't fish? Me neither, so substitute good breakfast joint. Anyway, they're hard to find and once the false hyperb 2006-02-09T21:28:00-08:00 2006-06-09T17:27:02Z 2006-03-27T05:34:21Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354691.post-114343766149868345 Friends, Farm and Casket Maker On the one year anniversary of departing the UK for the states, I traded some money for a ticket to return to the land I call home. Leo meets me at Heathrow with a latte, does he know me or what and we work our way back to the "Stow", Walthamstow that is. Nothing has changed in London, except Leo and Claire's address, which is now a lovely flat they have spruced up with refinished flooring, warm false hyperb 2006-01-24T21:58:00-08:00 2006-03-27T05:28:07Z 2006-01-25T06:22:32Z tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10354691.post-113817015234373281 Burning Down The House 11:00 PM: Oven on... nachos 11:15 PM: Doze off 2:30 AM: Art false
