Slow, but not Retarded…

This sign makes me so furious every single time I see it that I finally stopped and took a picture of it. The real kicker is going to be when I’m old and in the way if I actually do get Alzheimers and I have reason to be sitting in that waiting room, and I don’t know that that goddamn sign is spelled wrong, and I’m OK with the fact that it’s still hanging there, mocking me in my ignorance.

UPDATE: (April 16, 2009) This is posted at the Oakville-Trafalgar Hospital, in the hallway just past the Outpatient check-in area. This photo was taken while I was facing south, with my back to this particular waiting room.

At Least They Tried

Please do no soak split peas. (Rinse before using)

Hello Grackle!

This weird little bird sure was making a racket. He was in that tree with his buddy for a few hours, squawking away about this that and the other thing.

Bird Gettin’ a Drink

Another bird at the bar. He is not that thirsty. He is more interested in hanging out. The conversation is usually pretty good. The bartender lets him chill out and watch the TV, even if he doesn't order that many drinks.

King of the Castle

I got him last summer, and he's been sitting on my computer monitor ever since... For some reason, I took him outside today, and took some photos. Cute little dude, I think. I really just wanted to play with the macro focus on my lens, and the fish tank just wasn't cutting it any longer.

Little Dude

He is from Burger King, or quite possibly Wendy's, I really have no idea.

More Stuff

Got MORE candles from the Find-and-Grab, Jon restored a lot of the photos from that SD card (but the card was completely fried in the end), cleaned up the yard a bit, American Idol is a bit of a bust this year, the fishing season doesn’t start until the weekend AFTER we want to go fishing, so our trip is a bit of a bust -but that’s OK, really- and not having the heart to tell the neighbour I’m allergic to everything, I’ve promised her that I’ll help her pick the cherries off the tree on her lawn when they ripen in June.

We had a good run at it.

Corrupted Data is Disheartening…

My two gig SD card crashed and burned yesterday, during a data transfer, after a photoshoot… please programmer gods, have a heart, don’t let my shaken-baby-card be TOO messed up … I only ‘need’ the last fifty photos, and really there are only about six of them that I hope are able to be restored.  This is going into the ‘fun’ category… because at this point, it’s still a puzzle, and the data is essentially still THERE. It hasn’t been overwritten, it was just garbled up real good. Joy!

Keep your fingers crossed!     (And thank-you Jon!!!!)

I'm glad I know a boy who finds data restoration to be something along the lines of a "fun puzzle"... he seriously said that.

My OldDudeCrush

Tomorrow morning at 1000 Richard Belzer is going to be on Martha Stewart.

Seriously? I can’t STAND Martha Stewart. Even on work days, I never get out of bed before 11am. Tomorrow I have the day off.

But it’s Richard Belzer!

My alarm is set!

UPDATE, March 11 2009: Like hell I woke up in time to see that… 10am is the middle of my prime sleeping time.
