Hurry Up and Wait

[rejectomorph]

There has been a delay, and the new computer is now set to arrive no later than March 29th. The Slug must hang on for a few more days. Buying things somewhere other than an actual retail store is like dealing with a contractor. Nothing ever turns out the way you expect.

Sky has arrived, though. There are only little bits of it scattered here and there among the clouds, but there's enough to allow the occasional ray of sunshine to pass and turn all the fresh leaves bright. Small piles of soggy mulberry blossoms cover the lawn, and small brown birds hop about among them. The crows are very active again, flying about as though they owned the sky, scolding all the other birds. The squirrels are out, too, scampering up and down trees and racing across rooftops.

I don't expect that it will get warm in what's left of the day. I hope it doesn't get warm in what's left of the week. In fact, I want the remainder of March to stay cool. I'm not ready for more heat.

Maybe you should have just bought that car that throws in a free Dell. Even if it is a Ford, perish the thought!

I dislike cars even more than I dislike computers. I'm a closet Luddite, and a reluctant consumer of things. My suspicion that technology is a trap grows ever stronger. I'm a bad American, a worse Californian, and probably should have been born a cat. I do like being able to buy Ghirardelli double chocolate chocolate chips at the supermarket, though. I'm just not sure that this is sufficient compensation for dealing with the rest of modern life anymore.
