Customer service today at work, mostly in Greenup. I fixed a distribution problem that has been causing modems to transmit too high intermittantly, and also had the phone wiring problem from the upper levels of hell today. Actually two problems, a short was causing static and when I was there it just totally shut off, then there was a line that wasn't tied in ( it was screwy before the switched over to our phone service). I got home with an hour OT, played some civ and hit walmart.

I've been listening to "Presto" by Rush this evening, it's still one of my favorite recordings of theirs in recent years. The restless wind
Has seen all things
In every kind of light
Rising with the full moon
To go howling through the night

The sleepless wind
Has heard all things
Between the sea and sky
In the canyons of the city
You can hear the buildings cry

Oh the wind can carry
All the voices of the sea
Oh the wind can carry
All the echoes home to me

Run with wind and weather
To the music of the sea
All four winds together
Can't bring the world to me
Chase the wind around the world
I want to look at life
In the available light

Play of light
A photograph
The way I used to be
Some half-forgotten stranger
Doesn't mean that much to me

Trick of light
Moving picture
Moments caught in flight
Make the shadows darker
Or the colors shine too bright

Oh the light can carry
All the visions of the sea
Oh the light can carry
All the images to me

Run to light from shadow
Sun gives me no rest
Promise offered in the east
Broken in the west
Chase the sun around the world
I want to look at life
In the available light

All four winds together
Can't bring the world to me
Shadows hide the play of light
So much I want to see
Chase the light around the world
I want to look at life
In the available light

I'll go with the wind
I'll stand in the light and of course there's "The Pass". One of the greatest songs Peart has written.

and now, bedtime
