Ha, I have a new Swiss Army knife<3<3 Fought my way through the blinding, blinding rain (seriously, some people were pulled over along the highway) to the outlet mall--was intending just to get pen refills for my old one. But they had one that was just like my old one, same color, same gadgets, same ballpoint pen--but instead of the tweezers, it's got a little red flashlight light. A flashlight! <3<3<3 The cashier was laughing at how in luffles with it I was, especially as I kept pushing the button and forgetting not to look into the light. Strangely bright for a microscopic light bulb. But...new Swiss Army knife<3 Pretty-shiney again, with verra sharp scissors and knife blades<3 Lovely<3

Went to the Wildlife Safari place outside town while James did Amptguard stuff--too bad Anj was busy, it was most keen. Humid as all hell and muddy (see the above blinding rain ^^; ), but got to see a bunch of elk, white tail deer, bison, pronghorn antelope, sandhill cranes, and so on--something extra neat about the call of an elk, sounds like the creaking of rusty metal, and about watching sandhill cranes dance about. And the smell of it all...so *green*. Really amazing place--on my 'wish I could show others' list. No...didn't have my camera. >_> Was at home, uncharged. Still. I'm charging it now, really *flails* Mainly because the bunch of us will be doing a Fontenelle Forest walk bright and early-early tomorrow morning, and at opening time, the chance of seeing interesting critters is super-high--and yeah, so Anj gnawed on me to get the battery ready ._.;

Anyway. Babble-spam off.

Ahh, new Swiss Army knife. It's the best thing ever. But be careful, the last time I had one of those I shut it on my middle finger pumpkin carving. After the blood and gore and horrifying of neighborhood trick and treaters, what I was left with is a permanently misshappen finger and a fun story for partties.....

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude... ^^ That makes me flinch just thinking about it. Knowing my luck, I'd have something similar happen, so I'll definitely be cautious. I have bad luck with knives anyway--some of my kitchen sets are so razorlike, if it weren't for fingernails, I just would have stumps. ._. Even just last night, had several close calls. ^^;

But the gadgetyness of it<3<3

I think the new SA knives have LED litghts in 'em, which explains why that one was so bright. The LEDs they have these days are DAMNED potent, and last almost FOREVER. ^^

Over here, we're starting to replace traffic lights with arrays of LEDs. makes it MUCH easier to notice when the light changes, since it's a crisp clear clarion call to commense... car-ing? Like my Calliteration? XD

If I ever get off me bum and go to a con with you guys, I'll bring my LED flashlight... Bright as a sun, and has a glass rod attachment that turns it into a friggin lightsabre! *grin*

Ah, LED, that explains tons. :D Which is great, I need something like that, especially something that actually lasts.

Heh, would love to see the lightsaber-flashlight. Heck, I'd want one. >D (And gads, when are we going to get LED traffic signals down here--sounds much more functional and practical *nods*)
