The Lawn
Every wonder why the next door yard is better than yours? I sure do... But that's probably just because we haven't watered ours yet. This brutal heat isn't doing anything for it either. But back to the question at hand: Why is my lawn worse off than his? My explanation is that it's the angles. Whe you look at your lawn you see through all the green grass and only see brown (because the green grass is straight and the brown flat). But when you look at his, you're at an angle, thus you see the green but not the brown!
Semi-good news from the RO front.
I went out and bought the CDs for the game and I got to play it! Once. For unknown reasons that I can't explain, it started giving me the runtime error again, and an invalid image error, saying "this is not a valid windows image." Needless to say I was crushed, and curse the name of Tripwire Entertainment forever! But if I got it to work once I can do it again (I hope). The game was great while I got to play it, though, so this only served to spur me on!
