This is going to work just fine, I think.
I got the idea while messing around with my parental units’ computers, networks, and all the toys they have. After all, Pa Wetzel is a retired engineer, he needs lots of toys to keep him happy. I suppose it runs in the family, too. Dallas was rainy and cold. Not cold, but not warm. Just damp, maybe moist. Maybe Dallas is always a little moist, and it’s the most gray city I can think of, more gray areas in Dallas than any other place.
See: Ft. Worth, now that’s a blue jean city. Austin is a floral shirt city. Someplace like London? That’s a black city (black as in black humor, or black as in soot on everything, either way.) The briefest shower, right after I took a shower, reminded me that I was in Dallas, still, the rain beating an asymmetrical rhythm on the roof.
It’s all a matter of degrees, too. I got back to Austin, said “hello” to the cat, took a nap, went for a short haul around the trail, and decided I was going to “do it” – finish this up and get the web log – journal – everything hooked up right. Once and for all. During the walk, I was listening, then watching as the rowers were goaded on by their coach. “The Hudson River, it’s windy all the time, so get used to it!”
This is going to work just fine.
