Sights & seens

I went down to Indy this weekend and saw a Ferrari speeding -- what a fool! If you were going to speed -- do it in a vehicle less conspicuous. It would make sense in car more typically found in Indiana ... not that car! I also passed a professional stage mover truck -- concert stages, though seemingly exposed to weather. I saw mules or donkeys -- unclear which, on a farm also many campers. A couple of places had so many it looked more like a hive or colony than a camp site around an overfished, stocked pond and a highway next to them.

I was amazed that only a small section of the highway was coned off for "repair". I wasn't surprised that there was not a bit of equipment or even a shovel seen there.

Beth had surgery and is recovering from it. Tom has been working on a game "Mechwarriors Mercenaries", circa 1999/2001 ever after not created. He has learned some about programming it for scenarios. He's also interested in Schultzhund training and I got to "help" with that, for what it was worth.

Thomas and Lois had a good, but quiet weekend. Lois still isn't feeling great, but is growing stronger (somewhat) and is working more on her sewing, as assisted by classes that she and Diane take. Having been spoiled, as Thomas has stated, with Netflix DVDs, they each find commercials intolerable, as the rented movies have none. TiVo watchers also get to FF through sections to get to the shows they taped. Friends have TiVos -- novel if you watch a lot of TV, stupid investment if you don't. One night I helped a friend put in a larger hard drive to record more shows at higher resolution -- it was easy, but not written out by TiVo. He found a place that had instructions.
