Forklifts and Marching Penguins

gridloreOne thing I forgot to mention during my long examination on Life and My Place In It was today I actually drove something! A Hyster H190HD forklift! Just learning the basic controls, Sergio wanted me and Tony to get a feel for the beast before heading south. Very simple and easy to learn. Fun as Hell to drive. This thing can lift six tons 20 feet into the air. Color me impressed.
I only worked a half day (but got paid for a full one) and most of the morning was spent getting the intineraries for the San Diego trip sorted out. I got my per diem, and all the important adresses and phone numbers.
Today being Friday, that made it date night with Kiri! March of the Penguins was on the list, and before the movie we wandered through Target. Kiri found a few little Burning Man doo-dads, and I found a copy of SimCity 3000 Unlimited on sale for $9.99. Score!
The movie was brilliantly filmed, adorable at some points, tragic at others. It should easily win the Oscar for best long-form documentary next year.
