Fat Hobby
I went to a man-made wetland on Saturday to birdwatch. It was nicely done, though a bit rough. There were an awful lot of flies, biting flies, and spiders. I do not dig spiders. Oh, there were so many spiders.
The worst thing about it was that Saturday was a 112-degree day, and I was hiking around a marshy area. I know the humidity there had to raise the sensitive temperature by a few degrees. I didn't spend much time out there. All of my photos show birds with open bills because they were hot, too.
Do check out the photos, though. I got some cool shots of dragonflies and a muskrat. Groovy.
I realized that every trip I take results in one half to one gigabyte of photos being added to my hard drive. I hate to delete any of them, but I don't really have that much storage space. It's a dilemma. To sort of prolong the pain, I bought an external enclosure to hold my 40 GB hard drive. I figure I can use that as a storage area--though, that isn't going to last very long. I'm going to have to get a DVD burner. The idea of storing about 4 GB at a time on a little plastic disc makes me nervous, too. Then, you have to worry about the integrity of the disc.
Ugh. I don't imagine there's any good way to handle that much data.
I have managed to get through another week of school. I am getting an A, so far. I don't imagine this week will be any different. Yea. Tomorrow is the first day of the last week of this class. Finally.
I stayed up too late, watching the newest Blue Collar movie. I came to the following conclusions: Bill Engvall is still a damn good-looking man; Ron White got fat, but he's still probably the funniest one of the bunch; Larry the Cable Guy is kind of a comedic one-trick pony, but he's cute enough to pull it off. Of the four, he's got the quickest improvisational wit.
I didn't have any new impression of Jeff Foxworthy. He's pretty much the same guy, all the time. I can say that I'm not a redneck, though I do have some redneck family history. I guess that's why I get the jokes. I don't understand why they all hate Hillary Clinton so much. I'm not politically inclined.
I was checking my site stats, and I'll say this, again: some of the people who accidentally hit my site from search engines are twisted! There are search phrases in my referrer list that are just not right. Those people need a hobby.
And that brings us back to d'oh.
