The Michael Swayne Story V: King of his Castle

I was riding to Sinking Spring this morning, and see that my brother's truck was parked at the old house. I sent a message to Mom to see what was going on. She had no idea, so I continued on my way. While I was talking to that stray dog's owner, Carma drove up and asked me to drive the lawnmower back to the house. I did, and when I got back Carma was upset. It seems that the generator is missing. Now, the only people with access to the building it was in is Carma and my brother. I sent a message to Mom to see if my brother took it, because Carma is wanting to call the police about it. Mom's reply is that my brother spent last night in jail. I guess his girlfriend came home, and discovered the front door was locked. My brother was working still, so naturally the door would be locked when no one is there. Well, she called the police and had him arrested. Now, there is clearly something I haven't been told. You can't have someone arrested for locking a door. So, I don't know what's going on.

Back to the dog now. I stopped and asked him to do something about the dog following me. It followed me to Peebles again yesterday, and then Sinking Spring today. It turns out the stray is truly a stray, and has no actual home. He leaves food out for it at his house so he doesn't go hungry. Anyway, he says that because he doesn't want the dog to be the cause of me getting hurt when I am riding that he will just shoot the dog for being a nuisance. Now, I never once thought or felt that I was in any kind of danger, but I really am. I never thought that people would in fact dodge the dog and possibly hit me instead. Now, though, I am thinking about that more and more. But, I don't want the dog to be shot, either. However, it's not my place to tell people what to do to animals that aren't mine. That is just what happens around here. It is a backwards way, but it works here. I was just thinking that maybe they would tie it up or something. But killing it, I don't know.

Anyway...

Yesterday I finished my route at 7am. The route went fine, and the weather really nice It was almost seventy degrees Fahrenheit when I left the house at 2:50am. I was just really enjoying the bike ride that I didn't realize the time until I was done. Anyway, I was bored, and the grass was tall, so I mowed the yard at the office. And now I am paying for it, because my legs are so sore from the extra distance they covered. But the yard is mowed, and really looks nice, and it gives me $15 more in my check next week.

When I got home yesterday, I slept for three hours. Then after Carma and Joey left, I slept some more. During this time, I ran a malware removal program on my computer because sometimes when I would click on some links, it would redirect me to other sites. Nothing from TFF, thank goodness. Anyway, it couldn't find any problems. Which means that I am out of clues as to why it's doing that. I brought the issue up with the sites that I have encountered these problems, but because they can't reproduce the event, they have no way of fixing it. So there must be something on my computer that is causing it.

Well, my plan today (or what's left of the day, since it is nearly 11am) is to go material farming in Nier. I still need to upgrade 22 weapons to the maximum level, and most of them are still Level 1. Oh, and I want to try out Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. I ordered it and it arrived yesterday. And Joey and I are nearing the end of Super Mario Bros. U as well. Maybe we will have it finished today when he gets home from school.

That's about it for now. I hope to see you around the forums, and until then...

Later!

Michael
