Last Transmission…

by Slack, on April 21st, 2003

Well, here’s our last transmission from this old house. We’ll be crossing over to communication black out in about 15 minutes. Back online hopefully in a day or two.

We’re going to miss this place. We’ll miss the fireplace for sure. No cozy fireplace at our new house. The nice cool water of the pool will be missed (by me at least). I’m a water baby at heart. This house has character, that’s for sure. But, it’s also on the edge of ghetto-ville with crack dealers in the apartment complex down the road. Not the best place to raise a family… Unless of course your trying to take advantage of welfare income. Don’t get me wrong, we haven’t had any gunmen shooting off in the alley or anything… Well, not more than once anyway. ;) I’m not gonna miss the size of this house either. Barely enough room to stretch out. And least of all, I wont miss the damn retarted woodpecker who lives around here. He thinks tin is wood. So we wake up each morning to this freak of nature rat-a-tat-tatting on our damn chimney (the tin part). I swear, it’s brains must be scrambled a bit.

So, next transmission will be from our new home out on the edge of nowhere. I wanted to be in the middle of nowhere, but Heidi wont have that. :) So we compromise on the edge of nowhere. Wish us luck on the move, and if you’re joining us for the big day we’ll see you there. Free beer and pizza! :) Ciao!

Your woodpecker has been visiting my house. That, or he has siblings with similar tastes. This little ‘pecker (hehehe, I said “pecker”) likes to do his rat-a-tat-tat routine on the metal pole that holds up the Radio Shack Color Master III TV antenna that we don’t use any more. Makes a HELL of a racket inside the house. I gots to get me a pellet gun and use it to encourage him to go away.
