My bedroom has you all beat. There's just enough free space for me to go straight in from the door and sit on the foot of the bed to get dressed. Winning when I should be heading for the shower. Free breakfast at work today! David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

Except for 1 bedroom that I use for storage, no room where I live looks like that room, the storage room does come close though, but it's a bit better organized. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Oh and being it's March 14th, HAPPY PI Day!!! Pi has its own language, so to speak. The book "Not a Wake" by Mike Keith is written in Pilish, a style of writing where the letters in each word follow the digits of pi. These are the first two lines of the book: Now I fall, a tired suburbian in liquid under the trees, Drifting alongside forests simmering red in the twilight over Europe. Count the letters of each word: 3, 1, 4, 1, 5, 9, 2, 6, 5, 3, 5, 8, 9, 7, 9, 3, 2, 3, 8, 4, 6. They spell out pi, and the book continues the pattern to 10,000 digits, the first novel to do so. It's a challenging way to write, so Keith, a computer programmer by day, developed software that alerts him when a word doesn't fit the sequence. |

Well look what I got in the mail today, I think their the last 2 New kits in existence, I would have ordered 3, but 2 is all that I could find and this was by chance... Oh and I'd ordered this a while back, it just took a bit to get here. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Winning in the absence of sun (evening), but it was sunny, dry and 6C all day. Now off to upgrade graphics to the AMD 9970 overclocked .... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

currently I can't buy anything for Grace or Me, occupational hazard really. It's not like Grace always throws up, it may be 2 or 3 or 6 months before this happens again, Angel did that here only after I moved to the park and I fed Her different dry food, a male cat named Baby never did this on any food, He was a big black cat, but He never left Hesperia CA, Grace liked it when I added some water to Her dry food, as She could smell it then, so I'll have to play it by ear and see what happens. Grace isn't or at least doesn't appear to be sick, She's only done this 4 times, twice on the carpet and twice in the kitchen, it's another reason to move from here, too remote and the water is loaded with calcium carbonate out here, Hesperia's water was better.
