Snarl

Grrr. What a day. I found somebody who wants my old amplifier/receiver (see below), but the USPS Parcel Post shipping rate page doesn't inform you that the least expensive rate happens to be via boat, which means a 4-6 week time lag before it arrives at its destination. So I don't know whether that's gonna happen.

Then I go to the satellite city hall (at 2:30 in the afternoon, mind you) to renew my car registration, and the line is outside the office and into the mall proper. Okay, I say, I'll come back another time.

Then I go over to get pooch food, and as I'm coming out of the vet's office (Science Diet Senior Small Bites only for Tigger) it starts pouring buckets. I dodge as many raindrops as I can, and then notice the gas gauge is on empty.

Anyone want to exchange days?

Ooooooh. I would've been reallly p.o'd to see that gas gauge.

Sorry Linkmeister!

Tomorrow's another day! And you live in paradise, after all...

(I'm sure you get sick of hearing that.)

It's one heckuva scary night out here, if you believe the weather people. Buckets of rain, thunder, lightning, possibly hail, wind up to 55mph expected...

What you callin' paradise? ;)

My friend, I've had too many of those days myself!

Doesn't it rain about everyday over there? I wish you could ship some here. We finally had a shower, after over 90 days without only a little trace of atmospheric precipitation. I really wonder how long we'll be able to maintain agriculture in this place. When the aquifer is depleted, dryland cotton will be all there is and that's risky.

Now I've rambled. Pah!

It rains somewhere in the state every day, but not necessarily on Oahu.
