As I've mentioned, I have a passion for anonymity. Why? Comes from reading a book a long time ago entitled 'The Shockwave Rider', by John Brunner. Why is anonymity important in this log? So I can say what I want with some freedom, and not worry about being chastised. It's my life, thank you, and I figure I should be able to talk about it as I please.
One of my jobs is a tech support job that involves short-ish trips to install new computers for one of our gov't agencies. It pays OK, but it's only a once or twice a week thing so it doesn't pay the bills. But, the trips help make up for the lack of geld. Today was a perfect example. The install was in a town named Halfway. It's about a 3 hour drive from home. Snow around here (recall yesterday's entry) is transient, but can never be ignored, especially when driving. So I had a choice of the interstate, or a back road. I took the back road, one I haven't been on since a teenager, and it was a perfect drive. Little traffic, clear skies, 95% clear roads. Just a great drive. Made up for yesterday's frustration. Coming back wasn't quite so perfect, but I'm home and got paid for travel for a change. 12 hours total? I'll deal.
Time for a condensed format creative writing effort (aka haiku, but only because it's 5-7-5 )
Ice bow 'round old Ra
Eurythymics bold and loud
Watch the corner...... ICE!!!
