this may be the last one. it revived for a minute then fogged up and died again. well it lasted a long time, a long time in present day terms, most stuff dies sooner. that said i take the opportunity to say, because it did start failing early on, if it says waterproof, shock-proof, or democracy building, let the buyer beware. but hey, it was dirt cheap, and soon it will be landfill. 
now i got to say it was a splendid day and even with the spike in heat i goosed mister to the water and we did swim. i also got to say on the way back, feeling good, mister went up to a pale cranky dud on a park bench and he said he should be on a leash and i said no he should not, he's not bothering you, he's just being friendly, and then the other, also a hard dark cranky dud, chimed in hatedly, both of them angry now, spitting, he's not a person, and i say you're ain't a person, you're a hateful beast. and the dark one comes at me threatening to beat me to a pulp and i just yell him off with a volley of fuck off stupid fucker motherfuckers and as always i feel like the devil made me do it and righteous to boot and i see a friend with a husky kind of hesitating and i wave and she waves and i go on to my people on the corner bench and tell them of my altercation and they said who and where and we'll all kick their asses so i felt further vindicated. this ain't no haters park.
