-Just like the past few days, today's weather is quite passable. It seems that we have clear skies and low winds. The only complaint might be that it is on the hot side (but that may just be because I am sensitive to such things).
-On Saturday I purchased a new pair of sunglasses, so far I am quite please with my purchase. The last pair broke when I was trying to straighten one of the arms.
-After about a month and a half I finally got around to re-planting my bean patch. Due to cold weather and a lack of sun my first set of beans didn't really take off. Hopefully the better weather will allow this round of seeds to flourish (even if I won't be here to reap the benefits).
-It seems that construction season is now in full swing. Not only is Prince Philip Parkway somewhat obstructed because of construction projects, my own street (one that is not a main thoroughfare) is having some rather major patch work done. Hopefully things will be back to normal soon as the construction crews making walking to work a little more difficult than it should be.
-Today while doing some cataloging I came across a third LCC cataloging joke (the first being that the Bible is in subclass BS; the second that subclass VD is used for things relating to Naval Seamen). It seems that LCC puts French Canadian literature in the subclass PQ. Maybe it is just me that finds this funny.
-This morning I started started a house sitting gig. Almost as soon as I walked in the house I found that one of the fish was dead. Fortunately the net was conveniently located and I was able to scoop it out and flush it without too much trouble. Luckily the owners were aware of the problems with the tank (and doing their best to rectify them) before I arrived so I won't be overly criticized for the death of this goldfish. I just hope that remaining fish are able to hold on.
When I make it back to the house this evening I will have to feed the fish, cat, and dog, and take the dog for a walk. I am hoping that this last task won't be too trying as I am not particularly familiar with dog walking.
-It turns out that not a big fan of the P subclasses that are used for the classification of literature. I feel that there are far too many tables and not that in the end the whole system isn't all that much better than just arranging the books alphabetically by author (and then sub-arranging them by title or date), as this is basically what occurs in many sections any way (but only after works by authors from different countries have been segregated from one another).

A Few Quick Notes 183
-Though today started off just like yesterday, overcast with hints of precipitation, things have really turned around. We now have clear blue skies and temperatures above 10. Hopefully this will last a few days, or at least a few more hours.
-Yesterday I managed to get two quick games of Settlers in. The first game, though eventually won by Peter, was remarkably close. I was about a card away from winning the turn before Peter eventually won. Fortunately, things turned around for me in the second game and I was able to trounce my opponents, even though I started with only 4 numbers.
-Last night I continued with my room cleaning operation. I was able to recycle all kinds of papers and documents that I have been storing, but not touching, for years. Another important step forward was the filing of a number of classes of documents, including pay stubs and bank statements. Hopefully with another few hours I will have things under control (though I know that even at the end of this process I will still have too many belongings).
-Through Google Analytics I have learned that at least two people seem to have found the site because of Google searches for the Goobies moose. This means that not only were people looking for things relating to the Goobies moose, but also that they selected a link to Montifax at some point during their search. I can't imagine that they were anything but disappointed by the results, particularly as it was only mentioned in passing, and certainly not discussed or described to any great extent (though note that I am re-using popular search terms to try and generate more search related traffic).
-As I was leaving work I noticed that my sunglasses seemed to be bent. As I was gently trying to unbend them they snapped in my hands. Not only does this mean that I managed to break my sunglasses, it also means that I will be without sunglasses for my ultimate game tomorrow, something that may or may not be a problem.
