| I was happily
surprised with a phone call from muh Buddy from Virginia the other night.
He told me one night, in an IM, that he would give me a call sometime when he was drunk, and he finally did. I guess he and his buddy got into some Vanilla extract and were quite drunk from it. (remember those days?) I love meeting cool people on the Internet, and we have been IM-ing and e-mailing for almost a year now. It was great to finally hear his voice. We are buddies on MySpace and at Xanga. He has helped me get through a rough year or so in my life with his friendship and conversation. My friends mean the world to me, and the ones that care a little about me mean the most. David and I seem to really see eye to eye about a lot of stuff. We are defiantly bros. |
| BLT Got Locked
Out! |
It was a late night
after the party, and BLT wanted to take a shower to sober himself
up before bed, but while he was in the bathroom, Carpy came home and went to bed
himself. The party was in honor of Carpy since it was his 21st birthday, so being
hammered himself, he went right to sleepy-land. However, he locked the door before
he went to sleep, not knowing that BLT was in the shower. None the less, BLT was
quit upset when he found himself naked in front of his door not able to get in.
Fortunately he had a towel around his-self. In the mean time, I was in my room with a
couple of lads I knew from my days in Georgetown (circa 2000). We did what we
could to let poor BLT into his room. Eventually, I had to get out the screwdrivers and
remove a molding, then push the door hooky thingy in so it would open. He was very
happy when he could finally go to bed that night.

| FIRST FROST! |
I am sad to report
that the first frost has made it to Morrisville. It happened the other night
when I looked at Al's car and saw that it was all frosted up. The cold is upon us, especially at
night. It won't happen again for a few more weeks, and it was exceptionally early this year, but
it did happen. Brrrrrrrrr.

| Got a Rubber
Ducky |
All the way from
Great Britain it came. Faceparty.com sent it to me for filling out an
on-line survey about their website. They wanted to know how Americans felt about their
British based profile site. I have met a few people there myself, and I appreciate the
simplicity of how it works. Try Faceparty sometime. You might meet a few people there.
They have a number of Americans there as well as Brits. I am a very worldly person, so
I love meeting people from all over the globe.

| Fireworks |
The other night the
College put on a great fireworks display for
Parent's Weekend.
Years in the past, I could see them from my apartment window in the Hill. I would just sit
at my desk and watch them while writing about them on the Internet. This year I
managed to catch them for a few minutes when I snuck out the back door at work, and I
could snap a few shots with my new Cam. I love Fireworks.

| Got New Coffee
Maker |
The old coffee maker
finally pissed me right off, so I had to get another one to save my
sanity in the morning. A big tradition of mine is to have a pot of coffee brewin' while I am
in the shower right after getting up for the day. Coffee helps me wake up and it tastes
really good to me in the morning. I always have a 2 litre of Coca-cola also. Ahh what a
morning combination to go with my assortment of pain pills I take for my lungs. All this is
accomplished while chillin' in my big blue chair for about an hour while my body wakes
itself up, or goes back to sleep, lol. The new coffee maker is a simple and inexpensive
design, but it is very functional and won't leak all over the place like the old one did.
Take my advice, get the coffee makers that use the round filters and not the cone
shaped ones. You will be much happier.

| Observatory Gets a
New Paint Job |
I took one of my
annual walks up to the observatory the other day. I like to catch the
sunset there, and do some worldly thinking. It is a quiet place for me, where I can get a
nice view of the village and eat some berries along the way. Sometime I will go up at
night so I can catch someone there actually looking at some stars. But for now, I like to
go up alone to think and catch the view. I always get some nice pix while I am there too.
This time I was pleasantly surprised to see the shiny silver gleam of fresh paint on it.
They are always upgrading stuff at the college, and the observatory was next in line. It is
an old building donated and made be a local silo company and houses a really nice
telescope. I hope to see it someday.

| Pharmacy Window
Gets Broken |
I went to the
pharmacy to get restock my pain meds, and to get some vitamin pills, and all
of a sudden there were the cops. I saw a lady sweeping up some broken glass as I went
into the store, but I never gave it a second thought, 'til I overhear the police questioning
them about it. I guess the glass in the door got shattered all to bits. No-one was sure of
how it had happened, because there was no one there when they went running out to see
who might have tossed the rock through it. I asked them if they fired anyone recently, lol. I
told them that it was prolly a stone that got pinched under a tire from a passing by car.
There is construction all over town these days, so that may very well have been the case.
There is wood in place of the glass now, but I am sure they will get some new glass soon.
The pharmacy is an old institution around town and they keep me stocked up on a lot of
stuff I need. I even got insoles for my shoes that day.

| Sent Donations |
Since the advent of
cleaning up my own life by shaking my pot smoking habit, I have a little
more money to play with these days as well. I have been treating Al's family to Denny's a
lot, and I have bought myself some stuff as well. The other night I even sent out some
donations to the Disabled Veterans, and the Paralyzed Veterans of America. Being a
disabled vet myself, I use the Van to get rides to the hospital when I can, so I figured it was
the least I could do to send them a little money. Every year they send people address
labels and the opportunity to send them a few dollars, so this time I actually sent them
something. You should too. They really help a lot of people who need it.

| Robert's Bux |
Every month on the
first, Robert gets his social security money. He is very happy now that
he doesn't have to pay so much rent, or pay off "other" debts since he has cleaned up his
life. Now he can buy some things on payday instead of giving it all to his landlord. In fact,
we ordered a new tracfone and a webcam for him this month. He also paid me for the new
computer I set him up with a couple weeks ago. Robert is happier then ever now, and he is
very glad he took control of things in his life. Go Robert!

| Sheldon Takes
Over |
George has left the
building, the Village, and maybe even the state, lol. This has made
many people happy, and now the Hill will get some results and not a bunch of excuses
about what people weren't doing. The Hill really needed a "Doer" to manage the place.
George relied entirely too much on Ralph to get everything done, instead of doing any
work himself. Ralph was hired to be the helper and George was hired to get the work done.
He did the office work, but that was then end of it. He also made a number of the tenants
mad with his demeanor and anger. When it was found that he was extorting funds, that was
the ticket for Doug (the owner) to make an important change. This summer he hired
Sheldon to get the place shaped up. Not long ago George was asked to resign and leave
the Hill. This weekend he left and Sheldon took over the house and office. Sheldon is a
great man for the job and has already got good things underway for the Hill. He is Ralph
and My old friend from many years back and I very capable of the job. Sheldon was a
manager of a school maintenance department in Syracuse a few years back, an has plenty
of experience and "Go Power" to do the job right. It takes a special person to run the Hill
and I think we will see some great things happening soon. Good Luck Sheldon!

| Fall in
Morrisville |
We have reached
another Fall season in Morrisville. A few years ago I took a classic
picture of "the prettiest tree in Morrisville". I have been hoping that it would be as vivid as it
was that year, but it just hasn't shown the same colors after that year. The tree was
located behind the True Value Store. This years candidate for the "prettiest tree in
Morrisville" exists on Skyline drive. When I was taking a walk to the observatory the other
evening, I came across this tree and had to get a shot. The colors are showing up
everywhere in the trees these days, and the nights are getting more and more chilly. Soon
I will be reporting the first snow. Let's hope that won't be for a few more weeks.
