hooey. it's been eventful. finally saw serenity.
anyways, the same day, when we came back from the next city (that's
where we saw the movie), we picked up a new addition to the family. her
name is zoe (zo-e). she's part airedale/boxer and probably some rott or
pit.

we've been on several near-to-home adventures and still making use of our park pass before the year is up.
found a sort of junk yard out here in the country on the other side of
our neighbors' land (a good ways-a-way. here's a couple pictures from
that day.


the winter seems to be upon the desert. it came in one day. it's brillant, no need for the ac for a while!
this week at work was trying but do0-able. was called half-way through
my first day off to come in on the next day because(second day off),
well, it was a meeting thing for some others, so i had to come in and
fill in last minute;. then later in the week (today) i had to attend a
similar meeting (in a different city), but before that i had to go to a
meeting at 6 am. the second meeting: about 20 of us in two rental vans,
left for the meeting at 8:30 am, got back to town about 4pm. so i am
off for the rest of  today (i was going to have to work the rest
of my shift (til 10 pm)- but thankfully that didn't happen. and off
friday.
am the 'favorite' person in my position to the people i watch over.
people are just so happy i never turned evil, and that i respect them
and care about them. my new boss says i am really good at what i do and
thinks i'm cool because 'dude' is in my natural vocabulary from time to
time
looking forward to halloween. going asian this year.
