Great Monitor Drought of 2002
...but now instead of redesigning, I get to spend my time working extra shifts to buy a new computer monitor because the one I was using here is dead. There's still one in the house that works... it's just connected to a computer that doesn't have any of my files or programs on it. So no Fireworks, no ImageCommander... wait, yes ImageCommander. But I can't do anything with the images I command, because there is no Fireworks. Oh well.
At the restaurant tonight, I realized how alarmingly often young children order huge ice cream concoctions. Some of these kids walk away from the counter with more than a pint of ice cream and toppings in a cup. And eat it all. It's rather obscene at times, though I guess it's not as bad as what some people would buy for their children when I worked at Hardee's. 1,000 calories in a double quarter-pounder plus 600 calories in a large fry and 300 calories in a large drink equals too much for anyone, let alone a kid who has to sit on a phone book to eat it all. So much fat...
I have a new tract to scan! Some creepy preacher from Tennessee stopped by Keystone and handed one to everyone he saw. They advertise a church in his home state, so I'm not sure why he bothered handing them out, seeing as how I would have to drive for about sixteen hours to hear his sermons. Maybe they're just really good sermons? Whatever. I'll scan the tract in as soon as I find somewhere to plug in the scanner so you can see how creepy the man looked.
Today's lesson: tourists, even tourists like you and me, have strange notions about what does and does not constitute a good idea. Always remember this when traveling for pleasure.
