Tonight it is dark. Last night it showed Los Angeles all lit up. We'll have to see what it looks like in the daylight.

winter is here

I'm so not ready for it.

Remind me not to take a vacation during leaf raking season. We raked up part of the yard before we left, and when we got back, that pile was wet through. Three weeks later, I raked most of the rest of the yard, and now I've got a pile of leaves the size of my shed, with an inch of snow on top. And it's not supposed to get above 20° for the rest of the week. I've got some brush to burn too. Maybe if that fire gets hot enough, the leaves will dry and burn. It's gonna be tricky, though.

Best Buy

Best Buy has my computer. The guy who took it on monday said it would be a day or two. When I called them today, they said they hadn't gotten to it yet. Tomorrow is a holiday, and they day after that is retail hell, so he said they might get to it on saturday.

I really was hoping to get all those pictures that I fixed up onto a disc to show the family tomorrow, and all of our friends who are coming over on saturday.

I would have preferred to take it to a local company, but they were closed at eight o'clock, when I called. I still might have been better off going to them.
