Work's laptop cut off eljay entirely, with or without an outside net connection.

I might be moving this weekend, in part. Or not. I emailed yesterday and Jordan confirmed the hot water was on, a/c thermostated, and the floors redone.

I ran downtown after flying back from Alabama, which would have been fun stories if I could write them to eljay, to find the upstairs floors ... at least one isn't done in the middle bedroom. But he's gotten much better at that, faster and better (practice effect) so perhaps that happens today?

I'm...more torn than I should be because tonight diablo 3 season 7 starts and I'd like to bang out a new character. But I might be moving, and I should pack. Plus the girl and I play pokemon and it would be nice to talk a pokewalk and catch weird creatures - perhaps we'll get more water pokemon by the river. It's only 80 out after hot hellish weeks (and AL was stupid hot).

Some lazy stories:
I saw an abandoned mini-golf course. That drives me nuts, as I not only used to love mini-golf, but owned a mini-golf course when my family had the "pony farm." I had dreamed about restoring it, but other than trying and failing to get the fountain to work again - I achieved nothing. Some lights and paint would have gone a long way, but nothing was going to take away from the brightly lit competition on the beach causeway. This one was high quality - concrete slab with the holes built in. The condition was great and the place is for sale...I could relive going out of business in a small town again if I really wanted. Also tweakers had stolen the main electrical panel and filled the toilets full of shit...oh plus I'd have to live in Alabama.

I walked to the water tower because it was a pokestop.

After deposing a guy who honestly seemed to believe that the only reason he had gotten a job was because the governor was black, who filed dozens of EEO complaints (and never wins, but costs a fortune in processing) and talks about racism today like it was 1964 or 54...I went to a sparsely populated gym where I noticed a white guy and black guy working out together, a white older couple working together who said cheerful hellos to a Hispanic dude...and the white guy I was next to in the lock room was european-accented-white...in a tiny town in Alafuckingbama. I mean I have no doubt there is some fucking racism in AL - saw the confederate flags n'all, but this loon filing the complaints is an embarrassment to the progress that has been made. His new boss is also a black male - curious what he files on him.

Do I pack tonight? Do I plan on...I dont' want to commit to anything and I don't have good reason to. I can always car back and forth with my futon, clothes, and toiletries.
