A Pleasant Surprise
The previous administrations of our house left us with evergreen shrubs and landscape timber in our front yard. I got rid of the shrubs a couple of weeks ago. And today's project was getting the landscape timber into the backyard so I could decide what to do with them.
The previous admin's used round telephone pole like timbers. As I was struggling with a timber pretty much as tall as me, our neighbor (the male part of the couple Lettuce wrote about) came out and asked me if I needed help. This was a very pleasant surprise.
By that time, I was covered in dirt so I asked him "Are you sure you want to? You'll get dirty" He said that he didn't mind if he did.
So he helped me carry one from the front to the back. And in the middle of carrying the second large timber, my bad shoulder popped. We got it to the backyard. And I told him I would deal with it some other day. I didn't want him to do all my heavy lifting.
I thanked him for helping. He said it was just a small thing. I said to me it was more than just a small thing and that I really appreciated it.
Given everything that has happened, it was a very pleasant surprise that he would take the time and effort to help me.

Almost 40 years after Stonewall . . .
Almost 40 years after Stonewall, I still amazed that New York State hasn't legalized gay marriage.
Hopefully, Paterson will make it happen.

Industry Giants
The ironically titled "Industry Giants" by Superdrag (WIKIPEDIA - Superdrag ) came in the mail today. I recently posted a video from the cd (e:uncutsaniflush,48266)
It just might be the best Superdrag ever. This is the first cd by the original line-up in this century. It is confirmation of how important Brandon Fisher's guitar playing was to the Superdrag Sound.
I was already a fan of this band when I realized that Superdrag was more or less a friend of mine's old band without him in it.

Browser Ball
My guess is that the uber-geeks will be underwhelmed. But as a punter, I think this is neat.
This one is from the developer:
This one is a bit more complicated.
Browser Ball works well in Firefox 3.0.7 in Linux. It's reported that it works with Firefox 3.0.7 on all platforms.

Happy Birthday Marilyn Manson
Our Toyota Prius [search]Prius[/search](WIKIPEDIA - Prius) has been at Fuccillo Toyota (GOOGLE - Fuccillo Toyota) since Tuesday. It needs almost 2000 dollars worth of work - the catalytic converter (WIKIPEDIA - catalytic converter) is failing and that is why it failed the NYS inspection and why the check engine mysteriously came on and off in a seemingly random way.
Vector this!
I tried the second release candidate of vlsoho-5.1 (GOOGLE - Vector Linux). A big thumbs down. I couldn't get my wireless card to work. Vector Linux is Slackware-based (GOOGLE - Slackware) so I thought that if I could get it to work in Slackware I could get it to work in Vector. Wrong!!!
The Blank Generation
Richard Hell (WIKIPEDIA - Richard Hell) and the Voidiods's "Blank Generation" was and is one of my favie albums of all time. Robert Quine (WIKIPEDIA - Robert Quine) is one of my all-time guitar heroes.
There were times when I thought that this song was the story of my life:
I was sayin let me out of here before I was
even born--it's such a gamble when you get a face
It's fascinatin to observe what the mirror does
but when I dine it's for the wall that I set a place
I belong to the blank generation and
I can take it or leave it each time
I belong to the ______ generation but
I can take it or leave it each time
Triangles were fallin at the window as the doctor cursed
He was a cartoon long forsaken by the public eye
The nurse adjusted her garters as I breathed my first
The doctor grabbed my throat and yelled, "God's consolation prize!"
Happy Birthday
Oh, yeah. Today (Jan 5) is Marilyn Manson's (WIKIPEDIA - Marilyn Manson) birthday. Happy Birthday you beautiful person you, you beautiful person you!
