Odds and ends...

alexpgpWhile walking Shiloh in the big empty lot across the street the other day, I ran across some kind of rather shallow animal burrow (6-inch wide opening, about 10 inches deep). The sun was in just the right position to let me see some round, white objects at the bottom of the burrow.
Taking a closer look, it turned out they were golf balls, which was really strange, because while there is a golf course in the area, the closest fairway is about 200 yards away.
I came back a day or two later with a stick, that I planned to use gently to make sure I would not be sticking my hand into an occupied burrow when I tried to retrieve the balls. Shiloh preempted my intentions by boldly sticking her snout into the hole before I could bring my stick to bear.
The golf balls were half-embedded in the dirt at the bottom of the burrow, but otherwise in excellent condition. A veritable mystery.
Another mystery—why I have not been getting any client checks—would appear to have been solved. Apparently, whoever canceled the forwarding order for my personal mail failed to also cancel the forwarding order for my business mail, and so my checks have been going to New York these past six weeks. Grrrr.
The upgrade to Ubuntu 11.10 on my Dell laptop continues apace.
Cheers...
