Omniscient PhotographyBoy, that has a nice ring to it. And some days, I'm just glad I have a pen in my purse. I was at the supermarket earlier this week, and a row over from me was some sort of SUV with one of those glare protection thingies across the front of the hood (I assume for when the roads are wet, but what do I know?) And this one appeared to be owned by a business because it had lettering across it. "Blamo's Omnicient Photography." What the HELL does that mean? And even if it's a fake ad, what the hell does it mean? Omniscient photography? Like photos for God? Or that it sees your inner beauty, Clyde? And "Blamo" is just such an odd name for ANY company. It made me think it might be a band name or something, but I'm just not sure. I guess all that means is in case you were looking for an omniscient photographer, I think there's one local. I Fixed the Broken Amazon SearchIn the future, if a major source (ha!) of Big DumpTruck revenue is broken, feel free to let me know. The Amazon search box was really mucked up, and I have un-mucked it (which is, I believe, not the correct term, because I have heard of mucking out a horse stall, but I think you all get my point). Through no fault of the people who created this handy search box (that will automatically build links to books with my associate ID so that I can get a lovely commission), the page was pointing to a copy of the script that was 4 versions old. Because I kept updating the wrong file. Thank you, Adam from Anaconda, for being online at 9:00pm and helping point out that the problem was at my end. So book, movie, and music shoppers, have at it. If you enter a term, you will now actually get to see real live results. Any Electricians Out There?I've got one for you. Please use the email address at the bottom of the page to contact me. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do go get electronic devices like cordless phones, baby monitors and walkie-talkies to actually work in my house. I think maybe we build on the ancient radio tower burial grounds and the undead are jamming my frequencies. Also, please let me know ASAP if this is a problem that will lead to illness, as I don't want to put my poor widdle head at risk. Rocky Raccoon, Trashcan ThiefAs I was typing this up this evening, I heard some noise outside that I assumed was my husband, home from a long day and putting some trash in one of the cans. Except I didn't remember hearing the car, and he wasn't coming in. So I look outside and am faced with the FREAKISH site of my trashcan WALKING AWAY FROM THE HOUSE. It was one of those moments where you start to wonder if it's time to sell. And the wobbling trash can was apparently being stolen
by a raccoon or the world's largest skunk. Or a combination of the two.
I can't quite figure how he/she/it got the cover off, and then flipped
the barrel over. Of course, after it was flipped over my new friend started
walking away with his prize, which is what I happened to see when I went
to the door. Now how big an animal would this have to be to be able to
walk away with a trash barrel on its back...not dragging it, walking with
it. I think I'm going to leave this one for my darling husband. Or Superman. The List Foods That Should Come in a Cup (see: The Jerk's Pizza In a Cup) and some that actually already do

The Pick of the Dump: At the recommendation of my pal "Funny Man" after he purchased my highly recommended Michael Franks CD, I purchased this Gerry Rafferty CD. Very nice. Love the first song. (Sorry, no picture of the album cover)
I just got a copy of Kurt Vonnegut's 2nd short story collection, Bagombo Snuff Box.
