(Oh my god it's so cold!)

(dream)

I was on a train traveling through the country in the early 1800s. A native american "Indian" was on the train and planned to ambush it as the train drove over a river.

My point of view shifted to down beside the tressel (bridge) where a couple of junk cars (circa 1960) were all smushed and dumped there. As the train trucks (wheels) crossed the bridge, the cars reverberated with a drumming sound. The engineer got scared and stopped the train and it was overrun by settlers who climbed up out of the river to grab a dollar or two each.

As the settlers left their hiding spots, I went behind them and stole the money they had already stolen. About $51, which I realized was almost a fortune back then. I thought about putting it into a retirement account in the 1850s so it would be a real fortune in the early 2000s.

I had to get back across the river without them seeing that I had taken their money as they all were coming back to their homes after having robbed the train. I just casually swam backwards, making sure the water current would keep my swim trunks "inflated" instead of mashed against my skin, thereby hiding the small wad of bills in my pocket.

I arrived back at the train and took a shower in our hotel room where Wende and I were staying with Christina and Lee. After my shower, I was at Christina's house, and she was showing off her stuff around the house. Everything from the big tree in the driveway to little bunny rabbits and their car. I held and petted one of the little rabbits and he was purring purring purring so loudly; it was really surprising such a little rabbit could purr so loudly.

Someone came over with 2 little poodle dogs and they looked all happy, but I put my ear up to the rabbit to hear him purring and I could hear the poodles' thoughts through the rabbit's ear. The poodles were in a pissy mood from what they were saying.

Yesterday I started a new project at work that I may call the Ritz project. I get to start this one from scratch, thank goodness, and it should be pretty fly. The questions on the survey need to be displayed in different formats, so I have added a questionFormat field to the dataset. Right now I'm still just drawing it out on lovely large sheets of white paper, including some short (5 page) sections of paper from the VAX from UH. (*) Each time a new box of paper was added to the VAX printer, they would formfeed some sheets through to ensure the fan-folds folded correctly. I still have a 4 inch thick pile of these blank sheets. They're great for drawing!

The (*) above is where Peter (our cat) hurled at exactly 6:33am because he hadn't been fed yet. I fed the cats and cleaned up his spew and now I'm going to skate.
