Pool Covers

Nothing all that interesting has gone on since the cigarette in a wastebasket incident. Daulton did manage to finish his 750 piece puzzle. As it turns out, there were only 748 pieces. He's now working on a 500 piece one. Perhaps this one will be all there.
Anna's cousin Scott has really been wanting to hang with us recently. He seems to be bored out of his mind and wants some company. He's been pestering us for the past week to do something, so we told him we were going over to the in-laws' (his aunt and uncle's) place tonight, should he want to join us. While on the way, we got a call saying that he could not in fact come because he had to go watch his mom play softball (you know, that sounds like the most depressing thing ever).
We took Daisy with us, so she could play with Hank and Lucy. Mostly, she just ends up playing with Hank. Lucy is too lazy to play much, though she still manages to lead Daisy astray. When Daisy is with Lucy, she absolutely refuses to listen to us when we call. Tonight, she disappeared into a cornfield for about ten minutes. Anna doesn't want to discipline her though. She just wants to love on her.
I got out my bow and made sure it was sighted in while we were there. The neighbor saw what he claims was a very nice buck on the in-laws' property, this very morning. These deer just taunt me. I'm hoping to have a stand up tomorrow night, and I'll start doing some serious hunting by Saturday.
Speaking of Saturday. There is a wedding that we have to go to on Saturday. This will be an awkward event. That's all.
Also speaking of Saturday. Anna's cousins want to go to a haunted house that night. I've never been to a haunted house. I suppose the idea has never really appealed to me. I'm not going to lie. I hate being startled.
Daisy is all tuckered out from playing with Hank.
After I shot, Anna's father enlisted us to help him cover up the pool for the winter. He really wanted it to get done tonight because it is supposed to storm, and he wanted to limit the quantity of leaves in the pool. While covering the pool, we were treated to Anna's mother telling us about whacking "peepies" and being unable to "sign de paperz because de fingerz are broken." I have no idea what inspired either of these things, but there you have it.
If I do manage to shoot a deer this year, I'm going to have to convince Anna to take a picture. That might be an issue. She hates blood.
Major League Baseball has finally acknowledge that the post-season umpiring has been horrendous. They've actually taken the step of changing the umpires that will officiate the World Series, due to the horrible calls that have been made by certain umps. Too bad they didn't realize they had hired idiots before the umpires screwed the Rockies over. I'm still 75% convinced the umpires are being paid under the table by MLB to encourage a Phillies-Yankees series. It might not even be MLB. It could be Fox. But at this point, there is no way that all these bad calls are just coincidence.
The Broncos still suck. I feel the need to point that out. 6-0 is still meaningless. Give me six more wins this year, and I might be willing to change my tune, at least a little. But until they win the Superbowl with Kyle Orton, trading Jay Cutler was an awful idea.
I do have to say that contrary to whatever certain deluded Raiders players might think, the Raiders are still about the worst team in football and have no hope of making the playoffs until Al Davis keels over dead.
My right ear itches.
People who read this blog: Person from Saudi Arabia
I suspect all sorts of terrible stereotypical things about my dear visitor from Saudi Arabia. I cannot prove any of them. But let me just say that I fear that my writings simply confirm everything negative the Arab world might believe about our country. This reader hates my freedom. He hates it bad. He cannot believe that I could ever be allowed to discuss my daily choice of underwear. He was most certainly scandalized by topics such as furrys and even the fact that I know the color of a woman's hair. I'm pretty sure I'm just giving the Middle East more reason to declare Jihad.
