A little of this and a little of that

[vettecat]

Last night sdavido and I had dinner with ladysprite and umbran. It was great to have a chance to visit and catch up. And we talked a little bit about cake plans... I need to spend some time playing with fondant. :-)

Tonight, while en route to BJ's, we had a surreal moment. We were driving down a back street, and there in the road were three large turkeys. Just strutting around. I honked and one of them gobbled at us in Turk-ese. After a few moments they wandered far enough apart that I was able to inch past them... but it was very strange.

At BJs, we picked up a few things we needed (and some we may not have), but when we got to the checkout we learned that our account needed to be renewed. This turned into a rather frustrating (and almost hour-long) saga before it was resolved. Which unfortunately delayed us to the point that we were unable to drop off a few things we'd picked up for lucretia_borgia and sethg. Oh well.

When we got home (rather late), sdavido was very distressed to discover that his computer doesn't seem able to find its hard drive. This is obviously a Bad Thing, for lots of reasons. He's going to try and find it a doctor tomorrow, hopefully something can be done for it... but in the meantime, if you send him e-mail, expect a delay in response.

That's about it here for now (aside from needing more time, as usual)... further updates as appropriate.

Turkeys huh... that's different!

I used to see geese a lot in one former workplace neighborhood. They used to calmly cross many lanes of traffic causing much fun and other assorted emotions, especially when they had rows of goslings following behind. But I've never seen turkeys on their own.

Must be a Massachusetts thing ;).

Honestly I've never seen turkeys around here either, though I've heard of sightings in western Mass. where it's less populated. But in the middle of Chestnut Hill...? I'm sure there's an explanation, I just don't know what it is!

Turkeys. Hmmm. I'm sure the were pets gone wild or maybe they escaped from a butcher. The nerve of it gobbling at you. On another note I wish I could have made it up there this weekend. I would have fixed sdavido's computer.

Sorry you couldn't come up, hopefully we'll have another chance to see you soon...
