Saw the bleeding blues band. We have the bestest NYEves parties of all. One problem is the highway had a BIG crack in it looked like an earthquake crack, but was a WATER crack. Hope we don't loose the road, done lost one under water down near the river. Beach was full of driftwood, saw lots of pumpkins and a road sign 25mph limit watch for children. Just got off the horn to India, my DELL(r) hard drive is warning of impending doom. I will be getting an on-site replacement Monday Mourning. India dude says the will put in new drive and send old one (containing all the viri etc I have accumulated over the past year) back to DELL(c). I asked can't you dudes put in the new one and copy (mirror image it over) it so I can keep all my junk favorites and other junk? Answer, well it is Windows(c) and you know what that means even WIN2K which is my POS/OS. Just heard Old Arch predict RE market to turn down in June, and be bad bad bad for two whole years. Thought you might like to know. I had roof repaired for second time yesterday (patch), that's New Years Day. Another dude said he has five(5) buckets in his living room. At least we do have water. Am considering Satellite Beach,FL - Tucson,AZ - Kauai (muchodinero maybe toomuch) as possible new exciting opportunities to be lived in. Do any of these have jobs for me? I refuse to take take drugs(SSRI etc), therefore sometimes I can be a bit irritable but generally I can be a cheerful employee. Met a dude on the beach yesterday was in the Hospital Waste Disposal business and is moving into the Hospital Linen business, seemed very well off, from Houston/Austin considering move to my area (N.CAL coast) (he is moving out of trash into the sheets). These are the types of jobs that our country really needs. What I am wondering is how come FL seems so cheap, yet the nicer homes seem so expensive. Is it crawling with cockroaches and skeeters, Molds and mildews? We gots to get somewheres to live real quick or else will be in a van down by the river, you know what that means! Maybe should stick with a DRY heat, know what I mean. Son of friend lives in Tucson, said he went to Puerto Pensasco (Rocky Point) on Memorial Day, said there was a bit of trouble. Wonder what that means? I try to avoid trouble when I have a mind. "A mind is a terrible thing to lose, or to waste, or to have, whatever" Forgot who said this. You probably know who it is.
