don’t ever ever ever leave mobile phone on desk at work.

an unattended mobile phone ringing seems to set these folks on edge almost to the point of violence…!

my colleagues in the states kind of take this with a resigned humor but these folks here get very twitchy and irritated to various degrees.

[—] found $40 at HEB.
The cashier gave him stickers. No reward.

[—] was sad.

Then he found $100 in an old wallet (mine).

He got to keep it (the money; he didn’t want the wallet)! 

Yay that made up for it! God takes care of us.

my family and i’ve been wired to the ‘net since ’94 when it became available to the publlc.

this adventure (and it’s a very postive one) would not have been possible without the use of the internet.

makes me wonder what my own kids will be doing 20 years from now…?

i’ve learned that a wool scarf, when properly laundered and dried at medium heat, turns to a firm mass of mush. he’s gone out to pasture now. it got stuck in the laundry by mistake.

i feel quite like tom hanks’ character in the movie, “castaway*” , where he’s watching poor wilson floating away and he’s shouting “wilson! wil-SONNNN!” i liked that scarf.

hmmm… i wonder if i should take my wool full-length coat out of the wash now?
