world cup static



we have been having major trouble with charter communications since a lightning storm last monday night fried the cable.

a tech guy finally came out thursday for over 2 hours and replaced the whole cable from the street, but it only made it worse. the internet cuts in and out for no apparent reason. the phone stops working. the cable stops working.

it was like stepping back in time 30 years watching the world cup yesterday. the static fuzz on the TV was kind of charming after all the HD lets me see every stitch in every shirt.


but i just can't bear this life without reliable internet so they're coming out again this afternoon to try to fix it for good.

long legged eli



eli is mostly a chocolate lab, but he's got some other stuff mixed in there, as evidenced by the bright white star on his chest that is hard to see unless he is on his back, which is very rare because he is extremely alert and dominant and doesn't like to be flipped over.

he misses out on belly rubs but he catches more bugs this way.

his back legs seem just a little bit too long, i think he might have some german shepherd in him.

if there is ever a flying stinging insect in a room that i would like removed, eli is happy to help.

he is an excellent swimmer and ball chaser.

he wears a bra when he goes for a walk and it has cut down the pulling by 99%.

marco's pizza spinach slice



this pizza rules.
http://marcos-pizzeria.com/index.shtml
the crust is not too thick and not too thin, and perfectly salty and crunchy and soft and fresh out the oven. the sauce is tangy and not too sweet and full of chunks of tomatoes.
the service is great.
they have good specials too - wednesdays and saturdays are half price bottle of wine day. tuesday is 3$ pint day.
highly recommend!

hopping nacho solstice





went for a solstice hike yesterday in pisgah national forest. nacho likes this kind of activity. we all like this kind of activity.





had a tough time finding a way to a good swimming hole after scrambling through rhododendrons for a couple hours, licking a centipede, and nacho almost falling over a waterfall, so we got back in the car and went to courthouse falls and jumped in the deep pool under the freezing waterfall there.

the sky's on fire, deliver us

Trevor Garrod 1-12-2004: "These next two songs come from the I Ching. I don't know if that's gonna help you guys at all. It's called the Middle Son."

THE MIDDLE SON

The middle son’s a dangerous one
By moon and sun his wagon wheels are turning
And he often sees foxes in the forest
Watching for thieves he travels in the night

He’s got a strong horse with a gently curving spine
Following the course of water down the line
And his ears are aching from a pounding in the village
He knew the danger passed when the lightning had come

Yes that middle son is racing cross the valley
His morning work is done, yes it’s gone into dust
And his wagon wheels are rolling by the moonlight
the sky is on fire deliver us, yes the sky is on fire, deliver us

The bottle’s restless beating on that wagon-table tells me
How the wheel ruts beneath us shimmy widely across the trail
And the strength of any prophecy is sure at times eternal and
There will be a thunderstorm and it will clear the air

Yes that middle son is racing across the valley, his morning work is done, it’s gone into dust
His wagon wheels are rolling by moonlight the sky is on fire, deliver us
Yes the sky is on fire deliver us
Yes the sky’s on fire deliver us
