Cars will never gain look as good as used to. It’s impossible. Forget about it. The weather has been so nice around here that many of the vintage cars and motorcycles are still on the road.
Peggi and I were still in our pjs, reading the morning paper, when we spotted a doe prancing across our front lawn. A big buck was right behind her. We counted eight points. He was drooling and and fixated on the doe he was pursuing. The doe looked about a year old like maybe one of this year’s crop and she was staying ahead of the buck but not exactly sprinting to get away. I grabbed my camera and we went outside in our slippers to watch. The doe went around our neighbor’s garden and was just standing there when the buck decided to leap the five foot fence and dart across the garden. We lost track of them both and can only imagine what happened.
I stopped in Staples to pick up some toner for our Canon S9000. It takes the BCI series and you need six cartridges. The six pack was $90 and individual cartridges were $15.99. Like George Eastman, they give the machine away and make their money on the peripherals. The store was eerily quiet and it crossed my mind that they might be going the way of Blockbuster as people take their business online. We had a $25 Staples coupon on the kitchen counter and I checked it before I left but it had expired on October 31st. It was only good online anyway. Stables even competes with themselves. While I was waiting to pay for $147 worth of toner the guy behind me said, “You have the same printer that I do. I love that printer. I buy the ink online though. You’ll save a bundle.”
Kevin Patrick posted a mono version of Lou Reed’s, “Walk On The Wild Side” this morning. You might want to give that a spin.
