the weather is back to being absolutely normal

Mercury is retrograde, the weather is back to being absolutely normal — hot and sticky — and I spent some time cowering under the conventional air conditioning unit. There were a couple of frustrating events yesterday. I was making a “home repair” with my handy Leatherman Tool (TM), and when I went to close the screwdriver blade I almost sliced the top quarter off my right index finger. It was one of those gusher cuts, the kind that soak red ink (blood actually) through two paper towels before I had the mental fortitude to slap a band aid on the injured digit. The other frustration is a sketch that I did on a piece of paper, a new look to the web site. The “boys in the backroom” look at it, say, “sure dude,” and then nothing happens. I’ve even pointed them to a couple of clean sites that I like, and the comments are “Sure, we can do that,” but nothing happens. I finally worked on some the web graphics myself, but even then, there was a dispute raised about dates, times, file transfers, bandwidth, and my choice of color selections. “It looks good as a hair color, Kramer, but it looks like crap on a monitor, got that?”
