one divine hammer.

i spoke with my third indian this morning at dell, this time with an online chat function. i got nowhere, and in fact, feel like i know even less than i did last week. i did get my shipping upgraded for free to overnight and the production of my pc expedited (whatever that means in the big scheme), but that will prove useless if this thing doesn't ship before 20 or 21 of august.

i am frustrated but trying to stay positive. the problem is, what i got for the price is unbeatable from other companies (from what i've seen), at least with the timeframe i'm dealing with. so, they've got me by the you know what.

this weekend was a klopke (in-laws in gresham) and smith (maternal grandparents in iron mountain) weekend. it was a nice visit, and i even got some good running in. it's dry up north, really dry. i bet ore to shore was FAST.

the brewers took 2 of 3 over the weekend...that is what they need to do from here to the end to win this pennant. go brewers.
