Dogs, General, Music, Walks with the dogs

Things Fall Apart

08.14.07 | Comment?

My headphones, Koss PortaPros, seem to be about to fail.  Recently they have been yielding more distortion than music, leaving me with the feeling that I will hear the beep of Sputnik at any moment.  Luckily I have spare headphones, and more luckily Koss will repair for free (with a small s/h charge) the product for its lifetime.  I’ve already sent them in a couple of times when I inadvertently yanked one or the other of the cords from the set (this model’s only real flaw).  So off they go.  Along with the s/h charges I’ve already paid, I’ve sent in for replacement earpiece pads several times, at an additional small cost.  I suppose over the years the accumulated funds I’ve paid almost equal the cost of the original purchase, but it’s well worth the price.

I recently changed my cell phone ringer to Ice Cube’s “Down For Whatever”.  It still shocks me when it starts playing, especially at work.  From their reactions I guess none of any overhearing co-workers have seen Office Space.

In other news Boris went out of his way to avoid a squirrel carcass recently encountered on a sidewalk.  Considering (a) it looked quite fresh, (b) he goes apeshit over live squirrels, and (c) he has set land-speed records for destroying stuffed AKC-approved squirrel toys bought from Target, then one must conclude that Boris is a wuss.  Only he continues to bravely defend the back yard from desperate possums, which did not disappear along with the undergrowth in the vacant lot next door, unfortunately.

Vinnie continues to experiment with the number of tennis balls he can fit in his mouth.
