Daily horror-scope...

Interesting horoscope for me today from the Toronto Star....
Libra (Sept. 23 — Oct. 23)

It has been a long time since you last looked deeply into your true feelings concerning a relationship. Inspecting them could open up a Pandora's Box and bring on a storm. Be not afraid. Something crucial has changed

Given my current situation I'll say no more....

Asshat of the Month = driver of silver Dodge 300 Lic# BEEH 228...

To the female driver of a silver Dodge 300 license number BEEH 228 on Highway 9 near Jane St this morning:

You are a freakin' selfish asshole.

Trying to cut me off instead of pulling in ahead of the car ahead of me or behind me where there was at least 14 car lengths of space. No, you had to try and squeeze your big assed boat into a spot that was at least 3/4 length too small for you, cutting me off in the process.

Fuck you. I'm glad I didn't let you in. I'm even more glad that you got pissed off.

I hope you have a single car accident and die a slow, painful, firey death.

Douchebag.

Worms for dinner...

While playing with my new camera & zoom lens in my backyard I managed to get a shot of this bird bringing home some take out dinner for the kids....

Got rid of "The Wife"...

No, not my wife, "The Wife". I'm referring to my heavily modified, beloved 1974 Fender Precision Bass that I have owned for nearly 30 years.

After more than a few years of non-playing and having no desire to ever get back into a band situation, I decided that rather than have it stored in it's case in the basement I'd see if I could sell it or trade it for a digital SLR camera. After less than 24 hours on craigslist.org I received numerous offers of cash or trade. Tonight I met with one of those people and swapped "The Wife" for the following: a mint condition Nikon D70 DSLR body with a 35-70mm lens, a 70-210mm lens, battery charger and 2 memory cards. Here's the camera:



I couldn't be happier. Been playing with the new toy all evening. Can't wait to try it out at the
Nine Inch Nails / Jane's Addiction concert in a few weeks....
