And once again, a fun night... not very busy at all. I wore one of Karen's black bat earrings last night, which excited a lot of comments, more than the pumpkin one the night before, anyway.

And more comments on my 20-pound-test monofilament glasses loop, or whatever you want to call those things... one girl told me that she wasn't sure if I was cutting-edge fashionable or just crazy. I didn't give her any hints...

Long night... eleven hours, got that extra fall-behind hours from the end of Daylight Savings Time. Another hour of OT, though... that's always nice. Some people that I talked to were actually upset that they had to work another hour...

Anyway, when I got off at 07:00, or 08:00... my damned truck wouldn't start. I opened the hood and found that my battery cable had loosened up... I hope that's all it was, 'cause I don't want to buy a new battery or anything like that. Anyway, I got it jumped and it worked just fine... got home and it was dead as a doornail after I shut it off. So the charger is on it, and will be all day.... I'll see if it'll get me to work and back.

I really need to do a tuneup on that truck, too... it's been about three years or so, or maybe more than that. And I've got some new rattles, too... like a water pump going out.... and I don't need that to happen on my way to Texas...

On the other hand, I might just put a new pair of tires on the Caddie and see if it'll make it down there...

Anyways, I'm going to bed. Start on those twelve-hour shifts tonight...

Today's picture is of Carol, the Suicide Blonde... suckin' on a cigarette. Carol is in the Smoke-ring Journals with me and she's close to my age, but that's where the similarities end.... well, not really. We're both cute and smart and have journals on-line. Well, she's cute and smart...


Thanx for being here!
