Today was supposed to be the last hot day... a fitting end to summer.
Richard had stomach distress today... so he came home early. Between he, and Larry ( my father-in-law ), and myself we finished patching the bedroom floor. Carpet-layers come tomorrow.
No truck... however my nephew did get his car up and running... chalk this snafu up to experience. Still have hopes for getting my $50 USD back.
Worked on some bugs in my HTML code on my new website. Also need to rework some artwork I "borrowed" and manipulated. Seems the fine print from this particular artist stipulates fair use and free-to-use as: the artwork is o.k. to use on the desktop... but not on websites ( or commercially ) without expressed consent and renumeration ( implied )... go figger ! I'll have to take some photos of my own and retouch in the manner of what I had... pity... the artwork was exactly what I wanted for two of my pages.
For Art's Sake !!!
I scoured the web
seeking for images
to best fit my poetry
I, already inspired
and finally I alight
upon creations fantastic
free-to-use advertised
exactly what I desired
just needed to edit
which I dispatched with vigor
crop here, render there
artistically wired
then read the fine print...
upon second perusal...
"no website posting allowed"
caught in a quandary, mired
for artwork is owned
by its creator in toto
artistic license indeed !
when money most required
I released back the work
to the ether whence spawned
and look inward, not out
for creations acquired

Caveat lector ! Mea culpa... dirigo disjecta membra ubique... sic itur vis inertiæ. Fiat lux !!!
Vale !
