Last night was pretty much a lot of traveling and a little visiting with the family. After supper, Marie and I headed to my parent’s house to get my tax rebate check, then to Appleton to visit my brother and his family, and then onto Best Buy to get a new scanner.
Two things I learned last night:
One, whenever a city or county in Wisconsin decides to start a construction project, they make the bold assumption that closing down 7 or 8 streets (most often, that run parallel to each other) is a good thing and will not severely piss off motorists. And we wonder why we have road rage? We ended up having to drive to Darboy and take a huge detour to get to my brother’s place.
Two, the socially inept work at Best Buy. The guy that checked me out had a) chapped lips, b) unshaven face, c) visible dandruff, and d) greasy hair. It was rather creepy and I wanted to immediately wash my hands after him handing me the receipt. Ick.
After we got home, I got to talk with Andrea for a while, which was very cool. Haven’t had a chance to talk to her in a while and good to catch up a bit and discuss current events.
I hopped on-line to check my mail and see if Jon was on-line, since he also called and left a message. That bastard was ‘helping Beth with her homework’, which we all know what that REALLY means. Then, because I was tired, I went to bed.
More after lunch, including a harrowing tale of my dad and grundies. Not to be missed.
