just have to cut off all the threads! Kevin found someone to blade our driveway, and he is working on the toilet issues....and got a new bulb for the stove hood! it was a cold mother loading pigs in the chute today. I am about over winter already. I am looking forward to spending a long cold weekend off jammied up in my own house.

roads were dicey. coworker Lan couldn't get to work again today. her car died on road yesterday, it was towed and impounded. her ride to work today got stuck. I came home, sat on couch, started watching Eyes of the Mothman. then I threw up some snot, KJ brought me clean up supplies. I stuck it out for awhile, then just went to bed. took a long ass nap. then to the basement to switch laundry and work some on my I Hate My Job Scrapbook. found all the 2010 Save PSF stuff I'd saved. amazing how I could just forget such a scary time. now maybe I'll finish the Mothman documentary? I think the problem is, I've watched so many cryptid documentaries, specials, etc. and the same witnesses always seem to be interviewed. and they of course say the same thing each time I see them. and then I wonder, did I already watch this? I honest to God have nicknames for some of them. this show did an interesting closeup thing where they just showed the eyes and eyebrows at times, so you had to play guess who this witness is. that really spiced it up a bit. and they brought in Thunder Birds and Barn Owls and Sand Hill Cranes and all the other possibilities scientists and experts at the time offered up as alternatives to a *cough cough* Mothman. of course The Men In Black and the UFOs and Lights seen in the area. and the TNT area. I don't think anyone had focused on the poisoned water and mutated fish, etc. a mutated double sized Sand Hill Crane was thrown into the 'maybe this is what ya'll saw' mix. or a pterodactyl. and then other places and witnesses that saw a pterodactyl in recent history. I think the most interesting thing so far is the dude from The University who is a Native American Indian something Professor. that is cool. and what an amazing option for a Masters Degree specialty. I guess you could use this in real life to be a museum curator or college professor or to manage a historical collection or something. Doesn't sound real practical. but it is awesome to have choices like this in life. kudos to those of ya'll who do.
