Next time, no TINS. Got a good look at the moat on the way back (man, that drive is long). Hope you get a couple days to dry out. The black background looks great (but maybe I’m a little biased)!! I think my GPS-thingy has developed a sense of humor. And sarcasm. It kept trying to route me through Kansas City and along every 2-lane twisty in Missouri. When I ignored it’s demands (“turn left now, onto Sleepy Hollow-dead end road” “ignore the headless-horseman galloping alongside” “speed is life”), I swear it was rolling it’s eyes and sighing (”recalculating”, “recalculating”, “recalculating”, “you’re not listening to me, are you” “you don’t know where you are, do you” “why don’t you just pull over and ask someone ELSE for directions”). And arguing with your GPS only earns you a sigh, “recalculating”, and odd looks from other drivers. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_9_may.html#comment-59883 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_9_may.html#comment-59883 Wed, 09 May 2007 19:40:29 -0600 appears to be simply 'collection' rather than confiscation but I haven't seen an absolute report yet. And even with collection there's the question of whether or not the owners can get their firearms back. Probably nothing - even a good thing, actually - but worth keeping an eye on just in case.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_9_may.html#comment-59863 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_9_may.html#comment-59863 Wed, 09 May 2007 11:44:04 -0600
