I have some sociopathic neighbors who think it’s fun to set off fireworks until well after 10 or even 11:00.
Here’s a suggestion, meatheads: if you like the sound of bombs so much, why don’t you take yourselves to Afghanistan, or even better, Iraq.
And as for the loud-mouthed punk who was on Route 28 tonight and pulled in to one of those low-rent condos by the dump: I’m really REALLY sorry I didn’t make life better for the rest of us by following you the rest of the way home and crushing your ignorant, worthless ass into a blob of insensate protoplasm – sort of like the goo that sloshes around in that Neanderthal skull of yours.
Then again, I’m glad I didn’t soil my new truck.
Third of July
The annual Fourth of July party at Bonnie’s parents’ house has come and gone, a much-looked-forward-to event which features Bonnie’s colorful family, tons of food and drink, recorded and live music and a sublime setting.
July Fourth Weekend 2005
The boys stayed over on Friday night and we had a busy Saturday, starting with breakfast and later, a swim in Candy’s pool (I spaced on taking photos). We had all kinds of equipment in the pool – boogie boards, floaties, and a beach ball.
To Heck With ‘Em
I’ve tried – for years – to figure out how to develop a tech biz with customers on Cape Cod.
In the course of meeting lots of IT people much smarter than I, a common pattern has emerged: they live here, but they don’t have clients here.
Good Truck
Made a second transfer station run today with the Tacoma, what a pleasure to get rid of stuff that’s been sitting in the back yard for almost 4 years.
Rain
It’s raining, and the gardeners and landscapers are happy, if not the parents of schoolkids on their first day of summer vacation.
It’s been weeks since we’ve had rain, and this is a good, soaking one that comes, luckily, a day after the local Pro-Am.
Hot
It’s been hot since I got back from California, and today felt like one of the worst. I’ve got two glasses of iced tea going, and my computer keyboard is acting a little strangely.
Glad today was the last day of school for the kids, and I’ll bet their teachers are even happier.
New Home for the Sube
For about a week I was a two-vehicle owner, but my beloved Subaru now has a new home, with my friend Cindy: we did the paperwork today.
Emme, the Gardener
Emme and I took off yesterday after she and Bob finished their second performance of “The Great Kapok Tree” at the Falmouth Arts Alive! festival (photos here)
We stopped at Coonamesset Farm for lunch, then went back to my house for a short visit, during which time we edited the photos and did a spin around the gardens.
And Soon It Will Be July
Last weekend, I left for a business trip to California. In only four days time, it feels like the whole atmosphere around here has changed, and not just because our Hemisphere’s Summer Solstice happened in the interim.
