The writing is on the wall sky

Monday, July 09, 2007

A few weeks ago, I had commented to some friends that you don't see skywriting anymore. Matter-of-fact, it has probably been 20 years since I have seen it. I assumed this was because it was considered an unnecessary air pollutant or something similar.

Well, mark me wrong. Geico packed their trove of cavemen into 5 planes and they commenced to marketing to the St. Louis area. They wrote "Great Rates-Geico.com". However, isntead of one plane they used 5 and so it was written in block writing.

I saw it while I was at the very empty pool on Saturday. I pointed it out to the lifeguard, commenting again how I hadn't seen it in a while. The lifeguard didn't have to make me feel like a granny when she said "I've never seen skywriting before. Wow!"

Some random blurbs on what has been happening....

Monday, July 02, 2007

It's hot in the computer lab tonight.

I mentioned I would be the speaker at my graduation. I was and did a great job. By the time the ceremony rolled around I had practiced the speech so much I had it memorized. I didn't use notes and it made it seem as if I was speaking from the heart.

I visited Amish country at the beginning of June. They shun electricity but have natural gas powered fridges. I think if you're anti-technology, you should be anti-technology. These guys just seem to not like electricity. Perhaps the Amish had some beef with Ben Franklin.

I was accepted to Washington University. I also applied for some scholarships. Of course, attending will be dependent on that--otherwise it is not affordable.

If I don't go to WashU, I'm not sure what I will do as far as school is concerned.

This summer, we are learning Office 2007 in the computer lab. Interesting changes. Some things that are new are nice, some are just "huh?".

I am dog sitting this week with a dog that is so skittish she is scared of everyone and everything. Including me. I usually have quite a time getting her back in the house. This week, she must have taken charm pills. She comes in and even lays right in my lap and tries to lick my face. Go figure.

I'm getting tan from hanging so much at the pool. I might go tomorrow if the weather stays nice.

I hate mowing the lawn. Well, it's not so bad once I am actually in the process. I just have trouble getting the motivation.

I got the green light to do the Documentaries Across the Disciplines program at school. Yeah!

Okay, will I keep my promise this time

Oh no! I've been away too long. Almsot two months this time. Things have happened and I think " I should write about this in my blog". Unfortunately, it slips my mind by the time I get around a computer. That, and I've been busy posting under my local politics blog.

Yes, I've had time to post there 4-5 times a week and virtually none here. Oh well, it's summer. I'm having fun. So, nah!
