    Complaint: Settled down to enjoy weekly TV shows, then had low rumble and crash noise outside. Neighborhood druggie had come zooming down the road in the rain in the dark and ROLLED her car over right in front of my house.

    None Complaint: She was perfectly fine, not even a bump.

    Complaint: Took hours of Loud Rescue vehicles and tow trucks and wreckers to clear the accident.

    None Complaint: They all got here very fast after I called 911.

    Complaint: Seem to have caught some stomach thing from somebody I had to talk to during all that mess.

    Out of Theraflu so have to make an extra trip to the local chemist's as the regular market doesn't carry it.
    Taxi's are too expensive here so I have to walk or spend almost an hour each way taking buses because of lousy connections.
    Got Another "you have great qualifications, but we hired someone else" email from a prospective employer.

    non-complaints

    UC benefits deposit day today
    Wisconsin ranked #15 in the BCS standings so they should get a decent bowl invite with a win on Saturday against Penn State.
    Wisconsin basketball squad is in the NCAA top ten.

    ...good she's OK, Good now one else was involved either. Thouhg it sounds with her rep like she might have a bit of 'splaining to do.

    Ugh, hope you don't join the complaint thread "sick ward". What I am suffering with began with a stomach thing on the weekend.

    I'm glad your house wasn't hit!

    I doubt what you have came from somebody you talked to today. Things take a couple days to start having an effect usually.

    ...Gordon Lightfoot Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald

    I was living in Northern Wisconsin when the ship went down on November 10th,1975. It was very big news. There is still speculation to this day as to what actually caused the ship to founder from large rogue waves (reported by another vessel on the lake at the time) to improperly fastened hatch covers, to damage caused by grounding on a reef.

    The scary thing, the following morning I woke up after having a terrifying dream of being on a freighter ship being tossed about by rough seas during a powerful storm. After turning on the radio while getting ready to head off to class at the local college, that was when I first heard the report of the sinking.

    ...needless to say, I was just a little freaked.

    Didn't tell anyone about the dream at the time.

    The event, the dream, and the song have stayed with me through the years.

    The only lakes close to us are really dams where drinking water gets stored for the city. They have natural lakes in Tasmania but that is across the straight from us. There was talk of putting an undersea pipeline to bring water from Tasmania, don't know if that will happen. Bass Straight is where we go sailing when the weather is OK :) They don't call it the shipwreck coast for nothing XD

    There seem to have been a lot of crashes lately. I saw a runaway truck crash into a car in our street a couple of weeks ago :)

    Last Friday night I heard a crash. I thought it was just up the street a little ways. When I called 911, the policeman told me it was at exit 11...that's one mile from here. With all the windows closed, I heard that? I never saw anything about it on the news.

    Later in the morning there was a fatal crash, the son of a fire chief. Maybe that crash pre-empted the other one in the news.

    I tried to do an art last night.
    All day I wanted to draw but couldn't muster up the will to plug my tablet in and do it, and finally near the end of the day I managed a quick five minute doodle before going back to playing Civilization :)


    I think I did a fairly decent job, but really coulda done better - like if I spent longer drawing :P
