Inneresting. Asteroid strikes are a passion (is that correct?) of my Techie. Really. A pet passion. He takes medications for it.

I can decide if you guys would attract or repel.... :o)

Anyway, he's into visuals too. He presented at the Go To Mars Conference, or whatever it's called, in Boulder, and I was sposed to go with him, but I'm sore and lazy and poor and all, probably mostly poor and agoraphobic (he asks me to go everywhere, which is nice) (I say, are you sure I won't act stupid?" "No. I don't think so, and I don't care.") ~ so he goes and does a pretty freaking trick Power Point presentation on some special presentation device he had moved in there.

And guess who comes up to tell him he was very impressed with the visual nature of the presentation? James Cameron. His daughter, Techie's I mean, being the ulto Titanic Freak, was a WEE impressed when Daddy came home with Cameron's autograph on his paper.

He's your Classic Techno Nerd. Way. I think eccentric, too, (MJ said something like, "that's why he likes you." I don't know what that was sposed to mean) and he's the only one who dares come by here without a phone call (and rejection) first.

He just walks in the garden like he owns the place. Gets a beer out of the fridge, unless it's a bad kind, and says, "Look what I got."

He's a finicky pesky drinker. I mean, if it's not his favorite flavor of the week, he won't even drink it. Turns up his nose, just like a cat. It's very important to keep something accepted in there.

Tends to always park in the neighbor's driveway, no matter how many times I esplain to him.

He always refers to me and calls me by my last name, just like when you were in High School.

I planted a redwood tree on his land, downhill from the (inactive) giant stainless steel tofu cooker tank.....
