Scented

[rejectomorph]

For hours, the night was scented with skunk. It lingers even now. I suspect that this persistence is the result not of some poor raccoon or stray kitty being sprayed, but some poor skunk being flattened by a passing car- probably that of one of the paper boys, almost the only drivers out that time of night.

Other than that, it was another uneventful night. I spent much of it poking about on teh Internets, looking for stuff I failed to find. I did, however, receive a it of interesting information which has provided me with an on-line source for black-and-white copes of Sanborn Insurance maps of California cities. I've been looking for such a thing for ages. Unfortunately, they are available for download only in .pdf files. I suppose I'll now have to go looking for a freeware program that converts .pdf's to something easier to deal with. Stupid computers.

Exhausted. Sleep. Dentist and GIANT NEEDLES again Wednesday.

In our area the ducks and geese like to take over. I had to stop dead in the road today to allow a pair of ducks to cross, very, very slowly. A huge goose was crossing on my return to work, also at a very sedate pace.
When the bird flu comes, we're going to be prime candidates here.
