Interesting life
My weekend was yet more evidence of the "Layla has an interesting life, even when she's not in reporter mode" theme. On Saturday, I went and did all sorts of stuff and had tons of fun. Sights ranged from ocean waves to a metal skeleton holding a gun to a security guard watching a guy shoot at bad guys. (The latter was a game, and I believe those were the only gun incidents of the day. No, there was one more, but it was also a game.)Sunday seemed to get off to an uneventful start, as I went into anal-retentive geek mode and pieced together 13 photos to make the panorama of all panoramas. For the first time, I saw a reason to get a new processor and more RAM: My computer would have choked if I tried to work with one 117MB Photoshop file, so I split it in three for a while.
But now I'll get to the stuff that just doesn't happen to normal people in a two-hour time span. First, I learned that the older man doing laundry with me was an ex-felon who spent six years in state prison. He even went so far as to TELL ME what he was accused of doing to his step-kids, and what he actually did. Then I had a telephone call from someone who's interviewing soldiers and head honchos as they return from Iraq. His office is 150 feet from the Big Boss (I think it's Brigadier General) of the 91st Division.
