Moving Day

I suppose that would be easier.
"What are you on about now?"
Just take the house with you.
"Hmm, is that what they're doing? I hope so, I always liked that house it was so quaint and it was set back from the road with a nice yard."
Well, there will probably be four new houses in there by summer.

Hard Headed Humans

I thought it was just my human but now I think you all have thick heads.

A girl riding home on the train on Christmas Eve has a crow bar that is attached to the emergency window fall and hit her in the head. Does she scream? Cry? Ask for her lawyer?
No she says 'what was that'?
WHAT WAS THAT? A CROW-BAR! AND IT JUST HIT YOU IN THE HEAD!
"Like usual you did exaggerate the situation. I know the girl... she's so hard headed that the crow bar bounced off her and hit the couple behind her."
NO!

"Okay seriously, the crow bar did fall down but thankfully it only grazed her temple and it missed the couple in the seat behind her. I heard she did go to get a tetanus shot though."

You spoil all my stories...next I'll tell you about the lady with the thermal event- NO lie.

Snow Day (Monday)

FYI-

Do not EVER let my human borrow your car especially if you need it to get to work the next day.

"It was an accident."

With subzero ("16 degrees") conditions, ice-glazed snow and slushie sandals my human notices the car keys in the locked car when leaving work this morning. Happens to all you humans I've been told but let me show you how mine made this simple mistake worse, ten times over.

• CAB RIDE TO LOCKED CAR- $20
• PEOPLE FOUR HOURS LATE TO WORK- 2
• TRYING TO EXPLAIN HOW YOU GET LOCKED OUT OF 2 CARS IN ONE DAY- RIDICULOUS

Not only did my human get locked out of the car at work but locked the other car at home as well so instead of a simple car switch had to wait for the cab carrying the two car poolers and the extra sets of keys. Then had to wait almost two ("1.5") hours at the train station for a train to go the right way.
"Well at least I didn't have anything to do with that. I lost my debit card too if it makes you feel better."
Not really since now I have to wait two whole weeks ("10 days") till I can borrow it again.

Snow Day (Saturday)

Going to the mall is something my translator abhors on a normal day, add a snow storm and being five days before Christmas- a very bad combination.
"Horrendous."
At least you didn't have to drive.
"But I didn't expect walking around the mall either."
By the way you dressed I'd say that was obvious.
"What?"
Two words ho bo.

Driving Etiquette 101

Here's a quote from a unself-described road rager:
Do not tail the car in front of you and do not fall to far back so others can cut you off.
"Eliza, I know you're not talking about me and 'unself' isn't a word. How about a eliza leigh described road rager?"
I like unself better.
"Whatever."

The funny part about this road rage expert (ooh I like even better) is they rarely ("Never") follow this tenet.

Let me ask you all this geometry question:
If four cars are in front of you and you DON'T tail will you make it through a red light that everyone else is stopped at?
"Eliza. The 'road-rager' was panicking thinking they were going to miss their train. If it made them feel better to yell at me for not tailing someone who couldn't go anywhere anyways- then that's their prerogative. Besides it was funny.
'Go faster I would have made it through the light.'
'But there's four people in front of us, you driving would have changed that?'
'Maybe.'

The Lesson here people is~
never listen to your passengers("unless one's not completely in the car")
let the panicked person drive ("if they crash it won't be your fault")

DriveBy Pictures

"Yesterday was gray, chilly, overcast & did I mention a gray day? Here's a few shots driving in the Salem/Peabody Mass area."
Human I think you should start getting a driver if you insist on taking pictures in the car. I don't mind road rage but it was almost as bad as someone talking on their cell phone, eating and driving at the same time.
"Hey it was your idea."
You're taking suggestions from a mutant ant that only you can hear?

Different Perpectives

"We, Eliza Leigh and I, went back to a local park today and found the seasonal change amazing."
Plus, that pretty canal looked like it dried up. I really liked the pictures of the trash on the bottom.
"I know, how many times did you ask me to take pictures of the shaw's buggy? Too many."

Last Nights Full Moon

Were you one of the lucky ones to have a clear sky to view an Amazing moon last night?
"Not really."
I unexpected trip into Boston last night provided us with some interesting views. Of course the humanoid that was driving (not my humanoid) was going WAY to fast for any spectacular shots.
"It really irked you that you had to hide and not complain since there was someone else in the car huh?"
YES, now that was torture.
"Hmm, I thought watching the fight with the toll girl was torture- or the erratic driving afterwards."
No, that was the best part. I'm telling you that toll girl was one step away from... pain.
