Well, It's about time I made a post! Sorry for my overly long absence, I've been playing a ton of Civ3 since I got it from Thom, on, wow, it was only Saturday. Ok, anyways, now for something sagey!
It's amazing how much the heat can sap one's strength. On Sunday and Monday I did 6 miles hiking/jogging each day, under a cloud cover. Then, yesterday, I went out and could barely do 2 miles at the same pace in the 4 o'clock sun. Odd, if you ask me. I also got the game "LotR: 3rd Age" at the family birthdays. It is really cool, even though you don't even get to use the characters from the books. The graphics are neat, but what I really like is the turn-based combat system, which is a great throwback to the D&D style RPG era. I also worked at Saint Vincent de Paul yesterday, and I got to test an electric typewriter! It helped me to finally figure out why they call it the "shift key". It's because when you push it on a typewriter, the whole letter apparatus thing shifts up to a different set of letters. Given that on the typewriter the "Caps Lock" was called "Shift Lock", I think it's only a matter of time before they rename the "Shift" key the "Cap" key. And then it'll make a lot more sense, and I won't have to go off on wild tangents like this anymore. Thank you, and goodnight.
