I'm starting to find, North-facing homes are the most harmonious!

And try to sleep with "your head facing West! That's the best!"

Sleep however you want. I'm just saying, through a careful amount of investigation, both in RL and over the Inet, I've come to the logical conclusion, those who sleep with their heads' pointing West, were the happiest and most well adjusted people!
Co-incidence?

By the same token but reversed, that's not to say that everyone who sleeps with their head pointing East, is a Lunatic!

Sometimes I wish people understand things from another angle.

And here I'm, looking by the balcony outside, staring at those fast moving clouds...

End of Day 9:

No sighting at all today. Which is Strange. I found out that it was after water rather than food (which is why the traps haven't been working); the carpenter ants have disappeared, and they must have been feasted on by the...rodent, as nothing else has ever been so successful at killing them (said ants tend to nest in wall cavities). Periodically, I hear noises at the stomping grounds, but as soon as I grab my "tools" and take flight, there is nothing. The wind has been playing tricks on me it appears.

My nose isn't twitching as much.

Local gun shop managed to find an old British made side by side percussion coat pistol (think a small Howdah); it looks like a mini sawed-off double barrel shotgun. Pretty adorable if you find things like that adorable.

Pretty expensive at $1000, though.

Ironically, loading the thing with shot instead of balls (with a mild load of black powder), it'd be an awesome anti-rodent piece.

Antique collecting is an expensive hobby. I never even bothered to start antique sword collecting (they go for absurd prices).

Most likely early 1800s. I'd need to know the serial number and maker to know the exact date; not serious enough to shoot off an e-mail (already spent muh antique hobby money this year).

Small double barreled coat pistols were common around then (as were single barreled ones). They continued to be used quite a while longer too (people sold them to shops when new stuff came out and said shops sold them to people that couldn't afford the new fangled revolving thingies). The introduction of pepper-box revolvers (30s or so) made them less desirable, then when single barreled revolvers came along, the rest is history as they say.

Gunz last pretty much forever when kept out of the elements, so it's not "that" expensive a hobby due to so many being out there. Of course, there's pieces that also go for absurd prices, but even poor folk like me can get into it with some saving up of money.

No worries.

I have a thing for antiques. I like antique coin collecting too (I find it amazing that I have Greek coins that were around before Jesus was born); they're getting expensive too. A couple of my 400 BC or so Medusa drachms are my pride and joys (or however that saying goes).

I'm not really into collecting modern gunz, except the odd WW1/2 bolt-action now and again (it's a passing interest). Other modern stuff I have is purely for the function of farm work (same with archery stuff).

My nose is twitching and I smell a musky odor.

I see my nemesis hasn't left.

I'm interested, how can I receive your art work?

The shower was leaking on Saturday night so I had to turn the water off at the mains as I didn't want it to be leaking all night, and yesterday morning a neighbour changed the washer for me saving me a lot of money getting a plumber out.

O man, I wouldn't do that to you.

Seriously, that picture above is about as good as I can do without spending a zillion years of paper tearing and other rage inducing OCD moments of it not being perfect (I probably wouldn't be a bad drawer if it wasn't for that).

It's been quite some time since I've tried to start a thread, I think I'll start brainstorming one over the next few days.
