Camping Pictures

Pictures from the wonderful camping trip this past weekend. The personal highlight of the trip for me was the time spent swimming in the lake. I really do miss spending summer vacations just floating about in the wet stuff.


Here they are.

In other news

In other news, the sore throat and lack of voice I've been experiencing for the past two weeks (can you say annoying cough) has been diagnosed as merely a run of the mill infection and I have antibiotics to fix it. Should be right as rain in a week. Acquiring the prescription for the drugs was the result of a 5 minute visit with the doctor. After a two and a half hour wait in his waiting room. Then there was the three quarters of an hour waiting in the drugstore for the prescription to be filled. All and all quite the waste of an afternoon.

Why can doctors get away with making you wait that long? The *normal* wait for my doctor is an hour and some minutes. He was running behind yesterday. Still even making us wait and hour as normal seems grossly unfair. Is his time worth more than mine? Not happy about that. Didn't mention it to him, of course. He's such a nice guy and he gives me drugs...

There once was a girl from Kentucky...

Well, she's not really from Kentucky but some of her family is and Kentucky sounded better than Germany. Anyway, I've been busy with a wonderful woman and have been too busy to write. I'm sure I'll have all kinds of stories to tell shortly though. Stay tuned. ;)

And while we're on the subject...

This is a poster about a TTC employee which I see all over the place. There is something about how this woman is holding the broom that makes me think she's a big hit with the guys...

Devil Virgin

These are posters for a deal you can get with Virgin cell phones when you call after 6pm. Is this really the best poster to display three in a row?



(And I'm avoiding a joke regarding virgins and the devil...)

Observation

I've been noticing that cats don't have eyelids ... the top of their head moves up and down when the open and close their eyes. Someone should sponsor a study of this.
