16. You Can't Take the Sky From Me

Yay! I got to see her again for the first time in months! She's still such a cutie! For some reason the school system didn't get their supply lists up on their web site this year, so I had to call to get her list. I told them I was calling to get the supply list for the…

So, I almost hit a cow on the way into work the day after inventory. Well, technically a calf but if was a frakking big one, probably about a year old if I'm judging correctly. It was just standing there in the middle of the road, being fascinated by the shadow my headlights were casting. I&...

Yeah, that's been the high point of the past two or three weeks. I need more pants too. We have inventory coming up. My area is ready to go, ship-shape and Bristol fashion. Some of the other areas, not so much. Particularly my partner's area. We've all been working extra days, and on one of…

Went up to the cabin today looking for some kind of special salt my mom thought she'd left behind. It wasn't there and it isn't in Seattle, so I'm thinking a rouge TSA agent with high blood pressure grabbed it. Or she used it all and forgot about it, but she was only there for three…

What the crap? It's been a month already? We've got inventory at the end of this month at work, so we've been doing prep stuff and all. No extra days yet, but those start next week. Sadness. I managed to replace the choke tube on my shotgun and I had not damaged the threads, so yay…

Well, my parents are in town. At least my mom is, my dad dropped her at the cabin and had to leave for his next appointment before I had a day off. While I was up there my mom was cleaning out her kitchen and discovered that somehow she had three Fry-Daddy fryers plus the one they…

Sort of. I've been home, had access either hard-wired or wirelessly to the 'net pretty much continuously but I haven't read much or written anything. I have no idea why. Our district manager came in last week to walk with the managers at my level. Normally he walks with the Facility or Senio...

Yep, it's Spring Break for the munchkins, but Critter's got the week off so I probably won't need to watch them. Bummer. There is a serious lack of shooting ranges around here, I suppose because it's so easy to go out in you back yard and plink. Most people don't have neighbors as goofy as…

Or: What Happens When Crystal Cox is an Asshat Ok, so there's this person who calls herself an investigative blogger/journalist. I have no problem with that. Bloggers are good, bloggers make the new media go 'round. Bloggers can tell Word documents from forty-year-old typewritten ones. However, s...

Not thirty seconds after I finished up last night's entry I got an e-mail from the NRA store with the following quote splashed across the top: "An armed society is a polite society." - Robert A. Heinlein. I just thought it was really funny considering what my friend had said. Got i...
