"Come Here. Pretty Please.
Can you tell me where I am?
You... Won't you say something?
I need to get my bearings.
I must. And the shadows keep on changing.
I'm Haunted..."

"Haunted" by Poe

Author's suggestion: buy Poe's Haunted. Great album, that is if you are into alternative rock. Best album I have listened to since the last Crowded House album back in the mid-90's.

The only thing consistent about me is my inconsistency. I think I have shaken my past attitudes but they come for a friendly visit from time to time to haunt me.

All About Eve

Eve, Eve, Eve. What have we done to you? It seems every town of over 10,000 people that we stop in, Eve decides to keep us on our toes (I guess we should look on the bright side of life and thank God that there aren't too many towns of that size in the Outback).

After replacing her catalytic converter in Darwin, she decides to have a flat. I guess that one was inevitable, and I forgave Eve that indiscretion. I was also driving when she decided to blow, so I guess I have some culpability. I actually thought we lost the axle.

Eve Flat Fix

The second time, Eve decided to veer wildly into an oncoming kangaroo. Well, actually I was driving. I guess she gets a reprieve (but I have more to come). I felt horrible when I hit the roo. I was driving at dusk, and this roo just jumped hare kare into Eve. I just heard a THUMP, then looked to the left to see a roo doing a back flip into the air and coming back down on to the front. This was my first roadkill ever (well, Otto and I did run over a small, slow bird in Oregon. But I don't think that counts) and one of my biggest fears. I love animals. I wanted to puke. I said to the group, "Shit. I hope I killed it instantly when I hit it. I would hate to think that he is back in the road half-alive. I just couldn't live with that." Tony replied: "Eff the roo! What did he do to my car?" Well, the roo took the front headlight and took my clean record of a Friend of Animals and tossed them both into the dung heap.

Eve: Roo Terminator! Roo: Headlight terminator!
