scottobearAbout 110k total, I don't think a cut is needed. Feel free to let me know if someone wants one.
I was collecting accumulated deodorant cans (I seem to just toss them under the sink when empty, a slovenly habit I'm trying to kick. Newt was sitting on the commode so patiently watching, I had to take a picture. on the top of the tank there is potty-reading... currently You Only Live Twice, and a couple of sampler comic books picked up free at the ACC Expo.
Once I'd gotten the camera, I realized that it was probably a good morning to look for manatees. I knew the best place to go... I'd seen them there a few times before. The New River in Fort Lauderdale, right over the Haunted Tunnel.
I got there, and it was very quiet, a good sign. The less traffic, the easier it'd be to spot them on the water.
A tree that I'm fond of... I didn't capture the feel from this angle, but it's alternately spooky and friendly. There's a definite vibe about it. They put planks up to protect it from the high winds, recently...those weren't there last time.
Brisk morning.... the river patch I went to must've been too chilly for the manatees. I'll return later to try again. I did find some little skinny fish swimming around. I was partial to the tag-along blue guy tooling about. No crabs out wandering, either.
I hope you had a good morning too, Dear Journal!

Date: 2002-11-29 09:47 am (UTC)Ok, so call me biased but I immediately knew that wasn't him cause Newt is way cuter. Seeing Newt made me happy - almost happy enough for me to forget I'm at work. ;)

He's all sleepy from this morning's play.

Date: 2002-11-29 10:59 am (UTC)Did I ever tell you about Autumn, the perfect cat? Her colors were Fall colors so I named her Autumn. =) I only had her for a weekend. As soon as we got her, we took her to the vet and found out that she had serious feline AIDS and the vet told us we had to put her down. It was the most tragic thing I've ever had to do. I was so heartbroken. =( Ever since then, I haven't had the courage to get another cat. I adore them way too much, I think. And it would kill me if I had to go through that again. But someday, I will get another one.
Re:
Date: 2002-11-29 11:04 am (UTC)I'm so sorry that you had such a trying time with your cat... The best we can do is give love, and be happy with the time we get, I suppose.
I'm very thankful for Newt... he's made my life a much more balanced and happy place to be.
I know you'll adore another kity wen the time feels right to get one.
