Although he tried and tried, he couldn’t get my sound working, so we not only reinstalled Windows but the latest version which is XP. It’s pretty cool, but it has a few things I don’t like about it. I can’t change the colors on all the settings, so I’m stuck with blue and green title bars and toolbars. I guess it’s better than gray or olive.

Bev may have people living with her more often than we think. Yesterday morning at 8:30, we heard a series of bumps and bangs, and I was like, shit! She’s got the animals over there this early? But the bangs weren’t right for them and they weren’t enough. I thought she was perhaps in a bad mood and stomping around over there, or that perhaps it was Romeo because Tom saw him take out trash as he got in from running errands on Saturday, yet her car was gone.

Then, at around noon, I heard the back door open when I was in the kitchen, and out came this huge black lab. It never barked; just went to the fence dividing the two yards and pissed on it. A guy came out and called to it to get back inside, but I couldn’t see who the guy was. I’ve never known Romeo to bring dogs with him, so it could be someone else. Her car was gone a few hours later, but I don’t know if it was to bring this guy and his dog home or not. For all I know, they could all be over there right now. I only know she was quite a liar in saying she rarely has company. She has tons of company. No more than a few days pass without someone, usually Romeo, coming over. And I do not like the idea of living this close to a dog. This is closer than Phoenix!

So the pope is dead and I wonder how many more days the headlines are going to have his name in them. So the bigot’s dead. Move on!
