Life Changing Moment

You can tell from this young man's face, this encounter with birds is profound. He is rapt. Taken the other day at Butterfly World.

Yesterday was stow away and technology day. I am finding or making a place for everything. Of course this means some stuff must go. I gave a fairly new Eureka vacuum to a groundskeeper. It was good but it made me want to commit vacuum abuse everytime I used it. attachments would fall off or it would tip over when I used the hose and wand. It was replaced with a refurbished Dyson cannister-much more compact, very sturdy and the pet hair comes right up. The staple job on the headliners is barely noticeable. I am relieved about that. I placed a few preventive ones too because I can see some sags. Things are starting to look right homey. The Bose radio is tuned to NPR as I putter around.

Among other things I installed Skype on the main computer. Nicole and Andre just installed it so we had a connection and video chatted for an hour and sixteen minutes last night! Clear across the park! (sarcasm). Gotta run the dog- be right back. Back: today was a two-bagger. A coon tried to make off with a plastic bag of connectors, power supplies, etc. last night Scattered it good. I think I will arrange for a close encounter of the Honey kind.

Put Google Goggles on the Droid. Supposedly I can take a picture of something in Google Goggles and the program will tell me what and where. I usually know where I am but the technology is fascinating. It works with other things too including bar codes.

Matt will leave soon-bon voyage tonight. I didn't get enough but am happy I got what I got!
