The city of Saint Cloud. Or as I like to call it, the city of broken glass.

I'm not sure if these glass-breaking people are trying to christen unseen ships or celebrate Jewish weddings, but it is clear that there are numerous individuals, or perhaps a group of extremely devout bottle-busting ones, who have made it their duty to scatter shards of pointy shrapnel everywhere.

I walked two blocks to the library and the bottoms of my foamy sandals look like the face of the moon, or perhaps like gravel pits if you were to view them from the air.

Hopefully I never biff it running in this town. I might need an ambulance.

Next semester needs to start right now.

I've been ordering random computer parts, military gear, and other electronic crap like crazy in my spare time. I even ordered a book from Ranger Joe's about rope. Sure, it's kind of cool knowing how to tie knots in case you need to rappel from a high ground of some sort, but it's not exactly an essential skill.

I'm sure my next 18 credits will fill up my time enough to prevent some of my more trivial purchases.

But, as knickknacky as this stuff is, I can't wait until tomorrow for the UPS guy to show up.
