"Hey, the key you gave me to my storage locker doesn't work!"
"Pretty sure I gave you the right one, and you're at #25?"
"Yep, different brand of lock on the unit as well."
"Ok, I'll come by in a few minutes to check."
Five minute drive later, no sign of Clueless.  I check the lock, yep, it's the right key, etc...
Get home, message back to say I didn't see her there, but am sure it's the right key.
She says she's been there the whole time.
I call her and ask what storage unit place she's at.  Of course it's the wrong one.  I should note, she has been to her storage before.

Sold my first couple loafs of bread today.  Complete side business by accident, but mainly because we don't have a real bakery in town.

A high school student, unhappy with a grade he had received from a teacher, confronted the teacher and asked, "Do you know who my father is?"
 
The teacher replied, "You should probably ask your mother about that."

When I was but a youth, I decided to become a cultured and sophisticated gentleman. I found I had a genuine appreciation for classical music and fine art. I studied hard and learned many of the classics. I abstained from alcohol for many years, as drinking and smoking were against my principles. I still don't smoke, but I've learned to appreciate good wine. 
 
Then I realized what I've become. Good God, I'm Frasier Crane!

Dear Mr X,
 
Let us review your situation. You got a 22 out of 100 on the first exam, but were unaware of that for most of a month because you never come to class and never picked it up. In fact, you learned of it from your advisor after I used the academic alert system telling her you were failing the course and should drop it before last Friday's deadline; you declined to do this because you'd lose your scholarship if you did. You have turned in exactly one assignment on time, the trivial one the first week of class. You skipped the second exam, made an appointment to take a make-up right after class yesterday, which you unilaterally canceled by email, sent halfway through that class (which, of course, you skipped). You have completely blown off the major writing assignment in the course by abject refusal to submit anything. You have declined to turn in the lab work, which is essential in the course as well. And now you subject me to your fantasy that you'll do well on the final and pass the course. Tell you what: don't bother me any more and I'll give you your F without any further aggravation on my part. Otherwise, you will have no grasp on how much I am going to enjoy watching you die.
 
Love and F's,
Dr. Cancer.

Comics bypassed adulthood and went right towards midlife crisis. 

Got another foursome for ya. 3 from Paul L. and these are bit strange.... I love 'em. I've got one more to do soon for Paul T., but it is a bit more involved. It is so fun to do strange.

Just about everywhere is nicer than Yakima. I can think of a few places that aren't ... Ypres in 1915, Pulkovo Heights in 1943, McGuire AFB at all times for all history, Jornada del Muerto in late July 1945 ... but you have to look hard.

This one may be neater for me.  I tried out a panorama last year while up at the Grand Tetons.  Didn't have the things lined up right and it just didn't work with the tools I had at the time.  Since then found Hugin, which is a Open Source Panorama sticher that pretty much most of the work for you. -> http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
This is a result of seventeen photos put together.  (Full size is ~10 times larger in each dimension)

Finally making a push to catch up on my archives of unedited photos.  Working backwards and April 2013 is the only month to finish for this year.  (Sad thing is, I've got stuff going back to 2008 to look thru)

This was a long exposure of the moon.

As civilians, we rarely use artillery, so travel time is the most practical consideration.

Duh. How else will they get up when they trip? Using their forearms?

I still make residual SAN and Beserk rolls on jobs I no longer work at.
