The Hose, The Mac, and The Gophers
Got distracted yesterday removing burrs from the dog's fur and forgot to put the hose away. Which got run over by the car. Which happened just at the point where two hose sections join together. Which crushed the thread connectors. Which then leaked like a sieve. Which could not be squeezed back into a round shape with pliers. Which required a trip to the hardware store for a hose mender. Sometimes things just happen.
While in town, stopped to help Maria at the college with a Mac problem related to Adobe Acrobat. Which switches printer drivers without telling you. Which does not switch back when it is finished. Which it doesn't tell you. Which makes you go to the Chooser and select your default printer again. Sometimes things just happen.
While at the hardware store, I also purchased gopher poison. The damn gophers have been digging everywhere and eating the roots of almost anything. Which is killing all the plants and small trees. Which led us to buy replacement plants. Which the gophers promptly ate. Which caused us to buy several sonic gopher-repelling devices. Which discouraged the gophers for about 2 weeks. Which the little bastards then grew accustomed to. Which sent them back to digging and eating. Which led to the poison purchase. Which I put in their runs today. Sometimes things just happen.

Copyright, The Outline
Copyright Basics - you've read the book and seen the movie, now peruse "the outline." This is a project I had been tinkering with to add to my site as a link. I was hoping to make it an outline, and when activeRenderer went live, I decided to pop in what I had been working on. Exploring legal information is much easier in an outline format. Ne c'est pas?
