Melissa, Clare's sister, has been messing her little knee up something fierce. For years now it's been going out all over the place. At Kung Fu, while at work, it's really a sorry little sight. She finally busted it up so well that the docs decided it was time to give her a new one.
I went over to the sick house yesterday to hang out with her post surgery.
We went out to Clare's porch to smoke.....
watched the grain elevators fill ships.....and began to hear rustling down in the blackberry bushes that come up to the porch edge....
looking down, we couldn't see much, but thankfully, they soon stopped..
I went back out to smoke later when Melissa's knee was dozing, and the rustling started up again. This time, though, they came up for air. Rats. Lots of rats. Chuck came home and decided to get out the pruning shears before they decided to make the leap from blackberry bush to porch. Seattle's so weird because it IS a city. With rats and everything, but you always forget that 'cause it's so damn pretty.In other news, Shawn and I saw Nine Inch Nails last night at the Key. It was unbelievably good. I was floored at how much better the songs sound live. The last time I saw them was 15 years ago, so I guess it makes sense that they'd get better with time, but crap they were good!
This morning I decided to finally finish my little crocheted camera case.
It's turning out....ok....certainly not my best work, but hell, at least the new camera has a home and isn't just flailing around my purse awaiting scratches from my keys and other crap.Mom will be very upset at how little my skills have developed since the Ipod case at Christmas. Ah well, nothing to be done for it.

why did you have to tell us that the little creature is a rat? I looked at it and thought "how cute, a little field mouse..."
see how naive I am?
Why don't the new readers of your blog identify themselves already? Come on, you people, who are you? We are intrigued....
