Nerve-Wracking Stroll

    Hey, everyone. I just went for a walk in the woods. My wife is at work so I was alone. Yesterday when I walked I saw just a glimpse of a tawny hide vanish into a patch of laurel. I suspected that it was a mountain lion, returned to his birthplace at the green retreat. They are so ghost-like that it is hard to be sure if they are indeed around until you are facing one with a stick in your hand.
    So I was naturally cautious as I left the house today. I saw nothing but I heard faint rustlings from the same thicket and I  was tense. When I got to the creek I smelled a scent post where a lion had sprayed to mark his territory. It is a foul odor and very powerful. It will burn your lungs and put a foul taste in your mouth. Today I had a mint in my mouth at the time and the combination was not a pleasant flavor. You can bet that I was looking in all directions, up in trees and all that. I finished my walk and came home none the worse for wear. Midway home, I did catch the strong scent of hide on the southern breeze. I figure the lion was laid up and was watching me. Usually I can feel a creepy feeling when I'm being watched. Today I felt pretty creepy.
    I had my gun, as always these days, since the confrontation I told you about. I wasn't really scared but I certainly was not relaxed. I am not, however, entering the Emerald City quite yet. Hope you have a nice day.

Shadowgun: Crushing The Driller On Level 4

      Hey, everyone. Let's talk about the game called Shadowgun, the I-Pad game with which I have a love-hate relationship. Most of you who made it past the evil Cyber Lobster are doubtless locked in a death struggle with the Driller at the end of level 4. At this point you have been in the cave for a long time. The Driller breaks through the rock wall and chases you through the tunnel as you try to shoot out the green lights which slows the Driller down. If you are slick enough to shoot out all the lights and emerge from the cave, a rolling door crashes on the Driller and crushes his aggravating carcass. I have tried and failed to beat the Driller at least 250 times. I hate the Driller to the heights and depths my soul can reach. I hate it like a plague. I hate it with intensity of feeling. I hate it like a rich man hates taxes. Excuse me, I got carried away.       We had a big dinner here at the green retreat and my friend Trevor was ...

Faerie In a Glass Jar

    Hey, everyone. Sometimes gaming can be high-pressure. Take tonight, for instance. I was playing the excellent puzzle game titled 4 Elements #2. I have already done a review of it so I won't attempt to do so again. You have to match symbols and use 'power-ups' to get molten lava to flow around a board and bring life back to a faerie world. Cool. That's what I do. I'm into it. There are also a variety of mini-puzzles such as hidden objects and even putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Hey, when I get in trouble I call Carley.     Anyway, tonight, Carley wasn't around when a crisis struck. I was confronted with a faerie in a glass jar. She was crying for help. She said that she was running out of air. Every minute or two she would rattle the jar. In order to free her, I had to find all these objects and use them. Like there were some missing books. Then there was the pieces of a torch. When I found them I could light all the candles. I found the pieces of ...

You're Aiming the Missile Where?

    Hey, everyone, out there in game-land. The number 1 game on the friendly neighborhood app store is Call of Duty: Strike Team . No wonder, because it is a terrific game. The farther I play, the cooler it gets. But before I get to that, what are all these numbers indicating on my gun? Has to be some sort of ammo indicator for the clips, I guess. either that or some of my compadres has trouble doing his math homework. Whatever.     Hey. Check out the picture of me hitching a ride on an enemy truck so that my team can infiltrate a missile silo. Do you like the face mask? I bought it at a store called Fashions by Bane. Ha, ha. (Batman Reference) On this mission, my team was assisted by a Russian Spetsnaz squad. How's that for detente, comrade? These Spetsnaz guys make everything fun. What I mean is this. We shoot bunches of enemies and get into the bowels of the silo. We get to the gantry where the missile is (Pictured above) and we see that the rad...
