insert witty title here

Things must be looking up - this is the second day in a row that I managed to get away from the office for the morning. This time it was up the Nahatlatch River valley, just west of the burgeoning metropolis of Boston Bar (population 890).

After two hours of dodging mom & pop on the highway conga line of motorhomes and tent trailers, I ended up alongside the peaceful and shady shores of Hanna Lake. Unfortunately I wasn't there to hearken to Mother Nature's piney bosom, I was there to deal with some construction equipment so it didn't stay peaceful for very long. In fact it got pretty darn dusty too. The good news is that the hustle & bustle was over with pretty quickly, so all the little forest creatures (except for the sparrow that had flown head-on into the truck's grille on the drive up) were able to settle back into their happy little lives in short order. I on the other hand had to come back to the land of diesel (and I'm not referring to Vin), voice mail and "did you get the memo?".

Bah.


Here's a late-breaking update on my home life: I finally have the internet hooked up so I no longer have to live in fear of getting nailed by the nose.net content filter here at the office ("You have attempted to access a site with content deemed inappropriate. This attempt has been logged."). I used to subscribe to the anonymizer because it allowed me to bypass the main server, but I gave that up...it was too nerve-wracking trying to surf porn in a cubicle (although that did have a certain living-on-the-edge/exhibitionistic thrill to it).


After yesterday's post (since edited in a moment of embarrassment), Cara and Mike took pity on me and added links. Thanks!

Now if only pouting worked when it came to sex...
