Yesterday I was working in the office when DQ came in doing his patented "I have issues" walk. The issue- he wanted his money for working on the golf cart, which by the way is running. All day. However, the manager had gone home already. He was fuming! He said he's tired of chasing her around all the time. Which explains why he didn't chase her around Monday or Tuesday, and why he didn't start chasing her around until 4 PM on Wednesday. He kept going on and on about his medication, and even pulled out a piece of paper that I couldn't read but presumably was a list of medications. Then he said "I guess I'll have to go up there [the manager's house]." He never did, he just came back to the office and did it all over again. The whole time The Dude was sitting in the corner, having just gotten off the phone. Afterwards he came up and said, "I was sitting there crying because I couldn't laugh!"
Apparently the medication issue comes up every month right around now. DQ needs his pills but either can't afford them until they've run out or he runs out before a month is over. Whatever the cause, he goes into hiding for a few days right about now. It can never last long enough.
Weird Wednesdays
A new weekly segment recapping our "Weird Wednesday" TV watching tradition!
Last night on Ghost Hunters International, the 8:00 episode was almost over when we reached the TV. The crew was in Englad, checking out a potentially haunted location. The woods there is said to hold the souls of people whomhave gotten lost in there and never come out. You can still hear their screams today. Half a minute into the woods, they hear screaming, followed by footsteps of something unseen. The entire crew goes in and hears the screams. After wrapping up, they investigate further and learn that a vixen fox makes the same sound. No paranormal activity.
The new 9:00 episode took us to Romania. First to Banffy Castle, a renovation project for students. The GHI crew was able to debunk shadows walking across a room, but at the same time observed shadows walking across a room with no floor. There were also sounds coing from said floorless room, and flashes of light. A quick check by radio revealed no one was near the room.
Later, while investigating the floorless room a sound was heard by the entrance (right under the floorless room). At the same time, another investigator was set up away from the castle using identical cameras to take pictures of the outside of the building. One was normal, the other was set to pick up full spectrum (visible, UV, and infrared). Every 3 seconds he'd push both buttons at once. Everything was fine, until... there's a streak of light on the full spectrum camera, right at the entrance.
The second half took us to Dracula's castle where nothing out of the ordinary happened.
The final election night tally shows me trailing by a single vote. More counts to follow as mail-ins are recieved. Check back every morning (or noon, or night) to see the status of my campaign. I am preparing a letter to send to the county auditor asking for a recount.
Weather News:
As Florida gets a drenching from Tropical Storm Fay, here in the Great Northwest we're getting hit with the first coastal storm of the season. My cukes are loving it! I haven't watered my plants since Saturday. And apparently Lucy enjoys the smell of wet dog. She's the only dog I know of who doesn't shake off as soon as she comes in from the rain.
