Garbage Dump Rams

[howeird]

Took the bike out to the park again at lunchtime, but this time returned via Carribean Drive instead of Moffett Park. It's a much straighter route, on wider roads, and the one hill is longer and less steep than the one hill in the other route.

And as I passed the garbage dump, I saw there was a flock of sheep, scraggly looking (winter coats still on) with almost as many rams as ewes. A pretty elderly herd, I think, judging from the prodigious horns on many of the rams.

In the park I followed the trail by the marshlands, and saw a couple of avocets and Fosters terns among the Canada geese, mallards and swallows. There's a long boardwalk out over the wetlands, with a park bench at the end.

Next week I'll bring my camera.

Neat lunch time. It is great that you get to see other stuff besides buildings cubicles computer screens, and such for a bit in the middle of the day.

I went out with one of my coworkers who needed to talk about the family dog he now has to put to sleep. It is sixteen, so it has made it a long time at least. We had Pho, and I shared a plate of spring rolls with him, even though I don't much care for spring rolls. I'm not into the mint. Do think they are pretty though.

I got to whine about getting a document back to resign because the dates didn't have leading zeros in front of 5 May 2006. I gave them the four digit year, which has recently become a requirement. I am starting to have serious doubts about the viability of this company when QA is being alowed to make busy work and piss off the people that are supposed to be productive at least.
