NEVER A DULL MOMENT!!!
sigh.
So yesterday was all about "rocks" (See below). Sadly, the "track loader" (think bright yellow army tank with a scoop) that brought our rocks from the excavation next door... drove over the buried cable from "rogers"... this supports out Phone, our Internet and our television. SNAP! around mid afternoon.
Meanwhile, I was out having a huge amount of fun with the boys at the "big" skate park (versus the smaller one in our neck of the woods... so to go to the "big" on - at Centerpoint - we have to take a 30 minute drive. No big... and lots of fun.
Today... however, has been less fun. I started the day trying to get through to Rogers to buy an iPhone... two hour wait on my cell phone (thankfully a non-minute-consuming-call) got to be too much and I bailed. I'll try again tonight. Then we waited for the Rogers truck dude to come and repair the line... Then we waited for the Sears truck to deliver our "loaner sofa".
Now? It's 3 and all is well. We have phone, tv and net back... and a loaner sofa - with dueling recliners - in the family room. It's ugly... that fake beige leather that tends to look like Fat Bastard. Ug. But at least we can sit. :)
It's iPhone Day in Canada. The big providers are releasing their first wave of iPhones. Popular uprisings seem to have pushed Rogers into lowering their data package plans... all the way to the point where I think it's not a bad deal... (30$ per month for 6 gigs of data - basically "unlimited"). But I was on the fence about putting the cash out and signing on for three years.
"on the fence" that is... until I had this desperately lucid dream this morning. oh man... it was awesome. It felt totally real... and needless-to-say... it had to do with buying a phone. I woke up from the dream... had a shower and GOT ON THE PHONE to buy one. Sadly... so did a bazillion other people (I wonder if they had the same dream?) So sheer volume is keeping me from my iPhone. By the time I do get through... I suspect they'll be out-of-stock.
Sigh.

So you see this part of our front yard? (Down by the foot of the gazillion mile long laneway)
And do you see these rocks?
Well... after giving 30$ cash to the guy driving this track loader...
We now have this...

Note the upright stone... it's going to get a street address thing in iron bolted to it. :D)
And that's the end of my story. :)
