Here comes the rain again

It's been beastly hot all day - and now it's about to storm. Figures. I am out of here (real estate office) at 7 and it will probably be pouring by then.

This morning when I was taking Bijoux out, we ran into the grey and white cat that roams our neighbourhood. When he saw me, he stopped and looked at me and I noticed he had a bird in his mouth. Nice. Even better was that the bird was still moving. I didn't know what to do. I thought I should try to save the bird - there was a good chance it would be ok. But it more than likely had a broken wing and it would have caused me more grief to try to save it and not be able to.

I told Matthew about this and he told me that the other day he killed a bird on the golf course. That is the 2nd time on the same course that he has hit a bird.

For the past few days I have been transferring all of our home videos onto DVD. It's not a difficult task, but it is tedious. And it's even worse when our old camcorder decides not to work. I sent an e-mail to a repair guy to see what it would cost to fix this problem and he said about $185! Damn. I could buy a new one for that. I don't really care about the camera. As long as it survives long enough to let me transfer the videos.

It's pouring rain right now. Hopefully it will stop in the next hour. I am supposed to take my mother out to eat, but if it's raining she won't go. Then I will have to go eat by myself like a loser.
