Full moon... Friday night.... what's in store?
Who knows?
What's the difference between ignorance and apathy?
I don't know and I don't care.
Enough with the levity already! This is serious. This is Friday Night!

Well, it was Friday night. And a pretty boring one, at that. One of the semi-regulars for the drug addiction center came in by ambulance and almost immediately walked out because he couldn't smoke in his room and he wasn't going to be the very next person seen by the doc. He then proceeded to make an ass of himself and got talked to... 
as one of the security guys said, his bulldog mouth is gonna get his chihuahua ass in trouble for real some day. These security guys have a lot of patience with people like this goon. However, someone with less patience from within the general populace is just gonna blow him away, more likely sooner than later.
Lotta routine stuff, though, throughout the night... enough to keep me outa trouble. Not that I ever get in trouble anyway....
Another beautiful night here in Kansas. Perfect, in fact, full moon and all. Karen is going to Wichita this weekend, and I'm not, so I think that I'll sleep days and be up nights again.... that seems to work out fairly well for me when I can do that. The turn-arounds are what kills me, especially if it doesn't work out just right.
I've been thinking a lot about building onto the house, converting the present garage into a kitchen/dining room. I've been wanting to think of a way to build an attached garage, but that seems to be damned near impossible, so I'm starting to think about a detached one that would kinda sit behind the house. I need to do some measuring and see how it could work out. It will wind up being more expensive, since I'll have to build four walls instead of three, but it'll be better in the long run. At least it will work....
And I really do want Karen to have a new kitchen for once in her life.
That's weird. She's not the only one who will have a new kitchen, and the way I said it sounds really sexist, and it wasn't meant that way at all. But she has said many times that she wants a new kitchen, and I've said that I wanted to get her one...
And I also want to get me a garage... which would be more mine that hers, I guess... since I would be the only one of us actually using it to work, unlike the kitchen. I need a place to store stuff, and I would like to set up my radial arm saw again. I miss it... I haven't used it for three or four years, it's been sitting on the back deck, covered up with a tarp, just looking ugly. At one time, when I had a 24X30 foot garage, I had a bunch of woodworking tools set up, and I had a lot of fun with them... now I've sold everything but the radial arm. I would probably never get back into woodworking that much again, though, with all of the time that I spend computing....
What I really otta do is build a computer-room-garlow over the garage. That would be fun... I think. But then I'd have to heat and air-condition it... nah.
What I really really otta do is think about it a few more years... that's the way I usually solve these problems...
