Tuesday roadkill report
Bad day for chipmunks in the fields and forests of eastern Maine. Two confirmed kills and four or five other splots of the right size and shape but no definitive features.
Windy this afternoon, July sun, I really would have preferred to get out for the bike ride in the relative cool and still of the morning. But no, a simple phone call turned into a game of tag and I hung around for three hours waiting to sort out a fifteen-second problem. I hate it when that happens.
May be hauling Elder Son out to the nature center this evening, administering last rites to a Win98 computer and hearing its confession. Some helpful soul tried to hook up a new "all-in-one" printer to the poor machine, complete with drivers and OCR software and such, and now it doesn't have enough memory for boot-up. Or maybe it's something else. Data should be retrievable, even if the machine isn't. Problem is, of course, that the nature center, by its "nature", attracts a bunch of Luddite employees. So such things happen. "RTFM? Is that some kind of exotic bird sighting?"
