Saturday, October 15th, 2005: Kind of wasted away my whole day so far. Woke up earlier than I should have - 8:00am. Showered and went to McDonald’s for hotcakes and sausage. Played on the net, sat on the porch and read my book for awhile. Then I decided to be hardcore about my Mark Twain reading - I drove to the park and sat on the Mississippi for a couple hours to read. Climbed over the rail at Riverfront Park and sat on the ledge for an hour or two. Here’s a few pictures that probably look exactly like the pictures I took last year from the same location.

Came home, got on the net, talked to Jammie and then ended up falling asleep for 2 or 3 hours. I never nap and I guess it was the power of suggestion since Jammie hung up with me to go take a nap. Woke up, got some Taco Bell and now I’m updating my journal. A completely unproductive day, but somewhat enjoyable so far. I just noticed that my Mark Twain book has various bugs smashed into the pages now. Kind of gross. I’ve counted 3 so far.

By the way - do the tables surrounding these pictures break your friends view? Last time I posted pictures in this fashion, a couple complained that it did. If it does, let me know and I’ll do that LJ break thing.
