tire swingin

Enjoying the new digs. Last few hours today spent at Civilization for the TWiFi, trying to catch up on inet fun that's slid out from under me lately while I've been without connection at the new home.

A few neighborhood network extensions to note...

Met my first Tremont vigilante/visionary last week. Guy plies his trade, with K-9 partner Yogi Yoga Bear, from streetcorner -- lately, on Lincoln Park -- selling the Homeles Grapevine news, and talking with anyone and everyone. Former veteran, ex-vista, and self-avowed neighborhood watchman and activist, he is fiercely independent, works within/without the community, perhaps overly conspiracy-cautious? He knows we're extraterrestrial clones... Yao, yas look forward to future interaction.

Last night, I joined Adam, of Tremonter.com for a couple pint-stops on his Guinness in Tremont Pub Crawl. Talk of neighborhood hotspots, etymology, running, blogs, onlychilding, and hosecleaning. Good impetus for to get back into electro personal pursuits.

Dude, I had no idea that guy had a website. He's usually just down the street from my apartment. You gotta check out his house. He lives on Brayton, you can't miss it. He's pretty cool for all his lunacy. Apparently I'm more alien than most others because my earlobes attach instead of dangling. Did he go on about how mermaids are aliens living under Erie? I swear, after about ten minutes of talking to him I start to buy it.
