JiM's Dreams

I got my first ticket today in well over 20 years. I am begrumped. Mostly because I screwed up. The experience was mitigated by the fact that the CHiP was young, lithsome, handsome and very very polite. Because I was courteous and dead honest, he also gave me a pass on not having my insurance card on me (I do have lots of nice, up-to-date insurance), and apologized (!) for having to give me the ticket.

On the brighter side, besides getting a ton of work done, we have finally managed to name the chickens. Hera, Aphrodite, Minerva and Ishtar. Yes, I know one of these things is not like the others. "Demeter" just didn't roll off the tongue, ok?

I had suggested a different group of names, but the Husband nixed them - fortunately, really. I wanted to go with Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos, and Sheryl. I should not name anything after 9 p.m.
