Another day

Wednesday:
We had some more rain last evening .... bad stuff on the south side. There were many power poles downed, some trees uprooted, a few homes flooded and a roof or two blown off. Our monsoons come with collateral damage at times.

I was waiting for the COX cable guy but he's not here, I may have to replace all the stuff in the storage shed and call him again tomorrow. He needed all the stuff removed from my storage unit because that is where the cable will run. There seems to be more rain on the way from east of us, so I don't want to leave anything exposed to the weather. COX just told me that the appointment was for 1 PM to 3 PM tomorrow, which is major league BS, because I am not here during those hours. I am here from 3 to 5. I will call them during normal business hours tomorrow and raise hell.

I am watching (for about the third time) "FX" on AMC. It is interesting mind candy and I catch a few subtle things every viewing that I missed before. I like the style of the movie, and I am a big Brian Denehey fan.

Friday:
Don't have much time, have to pick up H in a bit. But ... had to write this down while I was still angry. A guy at work was going today to get his teenager registered for free breakfasts / lunches, free books and see if they could get assistence for his lab fees at the high school. The kids shows up to pick up his dad in a lowrider (the kids) with a super stereo, very expensive (mural) paint job, $3000 rims, gold-plated stuff all over the car, enough gold around his neck to drown an elephant, two (2) cell phones, expensive clothes and an I-pod. Does this kid need financial asistance? I ... for one ... think not. But his dad says, " ... hey they only count my salary, not his ...". His son makes $17 an hour at a custom shop, but doesn't declare his money because he's a student. He goes to school 1/2 days. I am in the wrong racket, I need to sign up for school.
