Shorthand: Just because

At 3:55 am last night, I woke up from a dream recorded in the previous post. I really, really wanted to write it down, but dreams are so fragile, that even turning on the light can make you miss parts of them.

Fortunately, I know shorthand, and can do it with the keyboard. You never know when these things might be important ;-)

I whipped out my trusty BlackBerry, and started clicking, right there in the dark. (Andreia would understand.)

So, for the approximately none of you who will be amused by this, here is the raw shorthand record of the dream as BlackBerry'd at 4:00 am.

Cool skill. I can walk through the house in the dark and bump into stuff. -.-

HA! I thought I was the only one that did this!

BTW, a shout out to the good folks at Hertz in Los Angeles. I was there this past week and left my BB in one of their rental cars.

I was dismayed and felt like there was NO way I was ever getting it back. It came by overnight mail today and my life is back to normal. I confess to being unkind in my judgment of the people (aka fruits and nuts) in Californa.

Now I can keep up with FHC again.

Easy on "Californians". It's only Southern Californians who need special attention. Us Northern Californians even made it into Hank Jr's "Country Boy Can Survive".

I grew up where I could shoot in 3 directions without hurting anything. Try that in LA some day.

Oh wait. They do.
