Via River

Coming from the Midwest, I'm often floored by the clarity of the water and the idyllic pools that suddenly plunge off of sheer cliffs and into manky, retentive, and otherwise unpleasant hydraulics.

Getting out the screwdriver again

This time I'm bringing out my digital camera. I was really proud of myself for a few hours, having gone to the junkyard and bought a window, taken apart my door, and singlehandedly installed it after vaccuming glass for what seemed like hours from my carpet and seats. Well, Wendy and I went for a drive, and while she ran into a store for dogfood, I rolled the window up and down a few times, gloating at how I'd done such a swell job. Since things happen to me as if I was in a fishtank (think The Truman Show), of course the window I was admiring made a funny sound and sank into the door, disappearing beneath the weatherstripping with a thud. And now I shall take my Bridgeport Brewery Ropewalk Amber Ale, sit on the curb swearing softly and bleeding from the knuckles, and take apart my cardoor again and again and again, because I had a good time the first time. On the bright side, the sun is shining.
