**doggio** , I bowled 152 last night. Not bad for being a few weeks out of practice. {{{Gordie}}} **bobbio** , I hope you get a better night’s rest tonight. It’s cold and a little rainy here. Nothing exciting going on at irk. I’ll be leaving early today for a medical appointment. While I’m off irk, I may go for early voting since I’ll be in town during the election comission’s operating hours. ---

Not much happened yet today.

Aww, cute big little Spidey! We had (in fact, my parents still have, she’s got to be over 15 now) a lovely tarantula- she’s well behaved, and surprisingly smart. They’re not dangerous, though they do have hairs that basically act as itching powder, which they can flick at you. She’s a well-brought up little spider though, and she’s never done that, and she gets handled a lot by visitors. If she’s not in the mood for being picked up right now, she lets us know by rearing up her front two legs. Once though, I suspect when he was also having a bad day, my Dad decided to ignore the spidey signals, and went to pick her up anyway… She responded by lunging forward, grabbing his finger with her sharp fangs, and… holding. Just for a few seconds, to make sure this stoopit human took the hint. Then she let go. He took the hint. Anyway, talking of parents, I’d better go phone mine. {{Boofae’s friend and kid}} ---

It has been slooowww at irk today. So far, the most exciting thing is that I got to talk to someone nasty earlier, and I got to take a package upstairs for my boss. And the weather wasn’t all that crappy and so I got to take a walk. Otherwise, I’m reading the MMP and knitting a little purse for my phone and mp3 player when I go for walks. ---

I went to the sto. First I saw a pink Hawaian print 1980s Mercedes station wagon:dubious: Not sure if this mean I should quit drinking, or start doing shots now. Then I saw a “❤ chickens” bumper sticker on a 4Runner at the sto.

Well, it’s Australia. 100% of the animals and plants and 75% of the rocks are poisonous, and want to kill and eat you. **Nut** , smart spider. Red, it takes me 2 games to hit 152. **BBBobbio** , maybe the Horsehoe Club meth lab went “BOOM”? ---
