9. Getting up in the AM

Today is the first day of rifle deer season in most states.

Perhaps most DUers are sawing logs in order to hot the deer runs before the sun comes up. That's ok and all I want is a couple packs of backstraps.

I'm on a heavy drug regiment to keep my mind limber:hippie:

8. Weekends are usually dead here at DU.

Welcome, by the way. We're a loud and sometimes contentious bunch, but I think you'll be hard-pressed to find another board on the net like this one. Salon's TableTalk comes close, but ya gotta pay for it, and their format is inferior besides. I learned of DU at Salon, in fact- and look where I decided to stay.

I've stated this before, but once I get another stable income here, I'll be a regular donor. I just can't afford much extra at the moment, and every dollar spent is missed.

All that aside, DU thrives on news content from US as well as international media. As such, and with members spread all over the country, local news gets as much coverage as national news, and the locals are by and large a bit thin on the news themselves, at least on Saturday.

Sunday is a very different story. Sunday morning spin cycles are picked apart here, as I'm sure you've noticed. I've been here for a while, and this is a pattern I've noticed. From about eight or nine PM EST to around eight AM Sunday morning, there's usually a drop in activity.

Nuthin' to worry about. :)

10. This is deader than normal... no midnight poetry thread

no socaldem, no SOteric, Salin or HeyHeyHey

Pretty dead for a Friday.

11. You want poetry? Ok fine I have poetry in my head and here it comes...

The clock struck midnight
And through my sleeping
I heard a tapping at my door
I looked but nothing lay in the darkness
And so I turned inside once more

To my amazement
There stood a raven
Whose shadow hung above my door
Then through the darkness
It spoke that one word
that I shall hear forever more

Nevermore
Thus quoth the raven, nevermore

And still the raven remains in my room
No matter how much I implore
No words can soothe him
No prayer remove him
And I must hear for evermore

Quoth the raven, nevermore
Thus quoth the raven
Nevermore

[Boudicea]

13. nevermore, nevermore, never

I love Alan Parsons and Poe, but seem to drunk to type.
