Owls and the neighborhood watch
Robins are not, I repeat not the meek little worm-pullers they pretend. Went for a walk here in Saanichton yesterday, though a park crammed with barred owls. I can't remember ever spotting an owl in the wild before, and certainly not this close up, so seeing five in 20 minutes was pretty cool by itself. But the robins made my day. Apparently barred owls feast on robin eggs and fledglings after dark. During the daytime, though, the robins go vigilante. Five or six of them stalk each owl around, chirping the alarm and divebombing the poor bastards when their backs were turned. Will try to get some video of this soon, since I scarcely believe it myself. Sigh. No sleep for the wicked. No sleep for Owl.

On the Road Again
Well, back in the damn car. Tomorrow morning, my father will drive me up to Victoria, maybe never to return permanently to the States. Shall see. I'm already sick to death of traveling and living out of giant tupperware. But I'm not ready to stop running just yet, either. I need a fresh start, in a place where I haven't any ex-girlfriends.

Depresses me, sometimes. I never wanted any of this, but Stacey is gone, and the last thing I want to do is crash D's life to compensate. I need to rebuild alone, on my terms. I just hope I'll be a bit smarter about it this time, and that sometime in the not-too-distant future, I'll meet someone I can love and trust.

Panties - Now Stalker-Enabled!
From the Forget-Me-Not panties site:
These panties will monitor the location of your daughter, wife or girlfriend 24 hours a day, and can even monitor their heart rate and body temperature. Based on pioneering research developed by the U.S. military at DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), we have brought this revolutionary technology, previously only available to the military, to you!

These "panties" can trace the exact location of your woman and send the information, via satellite, to your cell phone, PDA, and PC simultaneously! Use our patented mapping system, pantyMap, to find the exact location of your loved one 24 hours a day.
The technology is embedded into a piece of fabric so seamlessly she will never know it's there!
Umm, yuck. Make sure to dry your undies on low heat, ladies. And whatever you do, don't crotch your coffee on the way to work.
