The antique market
I have been very lazy this weekend. The weather here is so hot-that if you spend any appreciable time outside you are just dripping in sweat. So yesterday I just read a book, Bangkok Tattoo by John Burdett. I did go out and treat myself to a decent dinner-but soon

I got this from a friend. I liked it-so I am sharing with you. Profound statements. 1. I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die. 2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong. 3. I

Of my life I won’t get back. I had anticipated a nice quiet day off today-before the new herd comes into town. It should have been fairly straightforward, old herd just got back to Dullsville and the new herd is still getting ready to travel. Fairly easy eh, what? Except

You start watching videos like this one: On the other hand its a pretty good analogy for a lot of things these days. Good night!
