I like the skunk smell, when it's faint. It reminds me of pleasant times drinking cheap, skunky beer at bohemian gatherings I attended in my moderately dissolute and fairly impoverished younger days. It also reminds me of even earlier times, when we made excursions into the undeveloped hinterlands of Los Angeles, and would often smell skunk odor drifting on the evening breeze over some roadside field of alfalfa or sunflowers. Then there was the night we spent with my grandfather at an old Victorian house in Redlands, owned by my great-uncle. I remember the smell of skunk briefly mingling with the scent of the oranges in the dark grove that surrounded the house, as I was falling asleep. I supposed that If I'm ever directly sprayed by a skunk, the scent will probably no longer call forth such pleasant associations. I'll be careful.
Earlier tonight I experienced an unfortunate browser crash, which resulted in the loss of a comment of some length. It dawns on me that, when I've been using the AOL I got as a free trial with the computer, I've experienced far more frequent crashes of Opera than I have while using chiconet. In fact, since I got the new computer, I think Opera has only crashed twice with chiconet, and at least a dozen times with AOL, even though I've used it with chiconet at least twice as many hours altogether. Firefox crashes more frequently than Opera with either service, but it has crashed almost every single time I've used it with AOL, usually within fifteen minutes or so. Real browsers don't get along with AOL, I guess.
Oh, it's Saturday again, isn't it? That means nobody's reading this. Never mind.
