Spy Wednesday and the Fox: "Don't Be Cocky Lockey!"

Woke up 

from a long nap this morning or was it already afternoon,

  finding a fox basking in the sun

on 

center three concrete pavers 

of

 a design I did out of boredom years ago.

  These octagon shaped pavers had been stacked up against side of house already for a couple of years after my crystal meths addiction decided to regrade the front yard. These octagon pavers were there in the front yard when I bought my house in 1995; they formed sort of a trail from the front door to the mailbox.  

During the two or three years these pavers were stacked up against the side of the house waiting on me to decide what to do with them as the Christmas seasons came and went, my crystal meths addiction, my "Tina" addiction as we like referring to her within the gay community as if some twisted evil twin sister, we (Tina and me) decided to regrade the back yard.  

Why? 

Because of a fifteen feet diameter inflatable pool she decided to buy on on impulse from K-Mart.  

Well, 

if you've never owned one of these pools, my advice to you is....

DON'T!  

RUN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND DON'T STOP RUNNING!  

Unless you have the ground perfectly level, the god damn thing won't hold it's water.  

And when I say the ground has to be perfectly level, 

I mean 

PERFECTLY LEVEL OR THE GOD DAMN THING WON'T HOLD IT'S WATER!

You may think you've finally got the problem fixed, and when you ain't looking, you come back to find out you don't!

Tina and I had to learn this the hard way; over and over and over again.  

"JIM ED RIGGED"

Eventually,

 did get it holding water long enough getting a few candid moments out of it.  But if you look carefully at this picture of me "getting a little tail",you will see some rope dividing this pool into four quadrants.  What does did mean?  Don't know.  Hoping someone could tell me?  And I mean, other than the rope having anything to with getting the god damn thing to hold it's water.

Anyway, back to these octagon shaped concrete pavers.  Having wasted to many god damn hours on that pool; given up, bored, bored Tina decided one winter returning her attention back to those pavers and she tried seeing if we had enough pavers making a snowflake.

Barely.

And that Christmas, I lit her up.

Anyway, where I found this fox laying on center three octagon pavers today would have been just about the center of this quadrant, would have been.  Also I've since changed the design of the pavers. 

 Instead of a giant snowflake, 

the design looks more like

 a 

singularity 

at 

the center of 

a...

"star-burst."

? 

.

 Anyway, 

this is where I found this fox laying right there on the center three octagon pavers enjoying the sun. 

 Man was I pissed off this fox was on the move again by the time I got back to the window with my
Flip Video Recorder.

Night-blooming cereus is the common name referring to a large number of flowering cereus cacti that bloom at night. The flowers are short lived, and some of these species, such as Selenicereus grandiflorus, bloom only once a year, for a single night. Other names for one or more cacti with this habit are princess of the night, Honolulu queen (for Hylocereus undatus), and queen of the night .

Regardless of genus or species, night-blooming cereus flowers are almost always white or very pale shades of other colors, often large, and frequently fragrant. Most of the flowers open after nightfall, and by dawn, most are in the process of wilting. The plants that bear such flowers can be tall, columnar, and sometimes extremely large and tree-like, but more frequently are thin-stemmed climbers. While some night-blooming cereus are grown indoors in homes or greenhouses in colder climates, most of these plants are too large or ungainly for this treatment, and are only found outdoors in tropical areas.

  

Eine kleine Nachtmusik 

(Serenade No. 13 for strings in G major), 

 >

K. 525, is a 1787 composition for a chamber ensemble by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The German title means "a little serenade," though it is often rendered more literally but less accurately as "a little night music."^[1] The work is written for an ensemble of two violins, viola, and cello with optional double bass, but is often performed by string orchestras.

The work has four movements:

1. Allegro

2. Romanze: Andante

3. Menuetto: Allegretto

4. Rondo: Allegro

In the catalog entry mentioned above, Mozart listed the work as having five movements ("Allegro – Minuet and Trio – Romance – Minuet and Trio – Finale."). The second movement in his listing, a minuet and trio, was long thought lost and no one knows if it was Mozart or someone else who removed it. Musicologist Alfred Einstein suggested, however, that a minuet in Piano Sonata in B-flat major, K. 498a, is the missing movement. The sonata's minuet has been recorded in an arrangement for strings made by Jonathan Del Mar for Nimbus Records although music scholars are not certain that Einstein is correct.

I just got home from work and noticed part of my Halloween decorations has gone missing.  And I was just calling to see if maybe you and/or Bob noticed anyone suspicious in my yard today?"

~(James E. Avery, DVM)~

"Bob and I were talking about your signs earlier today.  

We've noticed and were wondering if maybe someone had taken offense with your signs."

~(Janet Gary)~

 This past Friday was not the first time 

having 

signs disappearing from my yard.
