Today had some ups and downs, but that's the way nature rolls the dice. There's balance, but in a swinging pendulum kind of way. A good thing happened: I got Angela to work without wrapping the truck around a power pole (the roads are craptacular with all the thawing), but then a bad thing: I had to go to AT&T to sort out a dead cell phone battery. Goddamn but I hate cell phone companies. There is a special spot in hell for their maggoty, soulless corpses and it would be worth going to hell just to see them burn. Long story short, I didn't get a new battery but I got the runaround and if I didn't love my Toyota truck as much as I do it would be unkindly parked in the middle of the Teddy Bear Plaza AT&T office.
But then good thing happens: I get a call from the Eskimo lady who was making me a beaver hat and mitts and they're done and they're exactly what I wanted and hoped and dreamed about all my life (I'm a simple man).
But then bad thing: I come home and the hoar frost that accumulated during the -50F melted in the 40F and is dripping into the living room. Nothing a few pots can't handle, and the day ended on a good note anyways: the new deck got insulated and sheeted and is now ready for walls which I can always build in the garage if, I mean when, the temperature drops again...
