molly was pissed, roofer woofers

I can't believe I made it here on schedule. Yesterday I slept in, took my time, hopped on the Metro an hour before my plane was to leave. Then there was a delay on the Metro. By then I had given up on leaving on time. But when I got to the counter after no line, the woman told me that I had better sprint my ass to gate 5 cuz there would be no rescheduling to LaCrosse on this day. So I ran, and I made it with 5 minutes to spare. I think my Caucasianness spared me the stupid searches through the gauntlets at National.

But then I was seated next to Molly. Molly was 10 months old, and had dark circles under her eyes from not sleeping the night before. Molly's mother declared that Molly had been up since 7:30am that morning. Molly looked tired and PISSED, and she wanted to crawl around. But No One Must Stand an hour out of National, so Molly had to be subdued. Molly didn't like that idea, which began the three hours of kicking and screaming for the rest of the flight, with only a 20 minute break when a boob (not mine) was stuffed in her face. I have no problems with breastfeeding, especially when it makes Molly shut the fuck up for a while. I got a vasectomy right when I got off the plane in Minneapolis.

Upon arriving in MPLS, I went straight to the A&W for my batterfried cheese curds, followed by watching better than average-looking large men of Scandanavian descent walk through the airport. Wuuuuf.

Holmen has not changed since I was here a month ago. My brother is getting his roof worked on. I am going to offer to help the hot roofer-woofer who hammers away above my head as I speak. He needs to be hammering elsewhere.

I am currently using my brother's computer, since my mom's is FUBAR, as she has been downloading every prompt she gets from SPAM and pop-ups, thinking it was some kind of Windows Update. She had just bought a new Windows XP system, but now it already takes 10 minutes for all the spyware to load upon startup. It is already unusable as a tool.

We took Jilly the Wonder Terrier and Swamp Dog Jed to the Black River bottomlands last night with mom. Very cool nights here, and mist was rising from the backwaters as we strolled down the old road though the swamp.
