Yesterday, though it had rained cats & dogs all the morn, it had cleared to be a nice day out by the time I got home from work. Say, a perfect day to take the dogs out?

Now I know what you’re thinking: Oh god, not another “I love taking the dogs out” story. Don’t worry, it’s not that. Here I’ll prove it. This story starts as I was leaving to go back home. So there.

Where was I? Oh yeah. Leaving. To go back home. OK so I get the dogs dried off, we’re loaded in, I turn around and get ready to leave, then I pull off on the side of the road for a minute. A minute that turned into 1-½ hours, as I managed to get the Mighty 4Runner stuck. So about that rain all day? Turns out that it made a nice little muddy patch out of the side of the road that I found myself on. But you have 4WD, I’ve seen you blog about it, right? Yes. And believe me, I tried that. And in fact, for a second I thought that it might work. I got going back and forth, made some headway, and then…. My axles hit the ground. And at that point, my wheels were really just swimming in water.

This was 6:25p. I got home around 8p.

Luckily, in time for Lost. Otherwise I’d have been pissed. As it was, I was just peeved. Thank goodness for AAA. Well sort of. More on that another day.



Netflix: A reality
After mentioning that perhaps I should consider a Netflix membership, I actually made good on that and signed up for their free trial membership. First in queue? National Geographic’s Relentless Enemies. I figured, what better way to put the HD stuff to the test than a nature show, huh? I just wish that they had more than the one NG title on Blu-Ray Disc. Something with Tigers would be nice.

Next on the list? Sunshine. I’ll keep you updated. But until then,

Peace.
