News(ish)

Oh hey, a busy news day today! Sure, most of it is yesterday’s news, but I like at least scanning it again in my morning paper. Immigration? Yeah, sure, already read it, don’t care because I haven’t a clue as to what to do (except maybe fan the flames occasionally and say “Well, it was […]

Sounds Like A Darwin Award

We’ve got a killer lake here, judging from the headlines: “Deaths spur ramp review: Nine have drowned since 1995.” It’s sad when innocent folks are struck down in the prime of their lives, brought low by a vicious, killer lake. It is even sadder when you read further and discover that the lake is innocent: […]

Death to all extremists!

Zacarias Moussaoui and the American judicial system: A perfect match. He wants martyrdom, we want a scapegoat. Sure, he seems a bit nutty, but he hates us, we hate him, and something has to be done to atone for the incredible failures of everyone from the President to the local parks and rec department (admittedly, […]

Help feed my addiction

Okay, just a quick thought: If we’re so addicted to oil, shouldn’t we be spending money on finding a cure? Or is it not that we have an addiction, but that we have few alternatives available to us? If that is the case, it might have made more sense for Bush to have tossed those […]

White and Grey

In the words of one cool cat, “It ain’t easy being cheesy.” That said, it’s Monday and I’ve been avoiding this damned thing for a while now. I don’t have any burning causes and I’m not in love with myself enough to make a reasonable blogger. I realize this makes it rough on you, the […]

Parenting Tips

I think this is a good argument for mandatory sterilization of certain people. Preferably both parents. I wonder what the kid’s BAC/BAL was . . . Related Images:

Nipply

Another nipply morning up here in the great grey-green north. 29F on the outside, 61F on the inside. It is time to fire up the stove and begin the slow process of heating from the basement up. Next year we are definitely getting a pellet stove for the living room. In the meantime, I’ve tossed […]

Holy Crap!

So, I’ve been gone for a while. It wasn’t sheer laziness this time, honest! I lost my password, reset it, then discovered that my ISP is blocking sendmail from this blog. Fun. This meant I had no way of recovering my password without hacking MT. Well, that’s done now, so what’s new? 1. I’ve moved. […]

I’m Homeless

Escrow closed this morning, so I am now officially homeless! Yay. Knowing I will have a new house in two weeks kind of takes the sting out, though. Related Images:

Huh? What?

Another day, another few hundred trackbacks for cialis, trimspa and online poker. Gotta love the little spamtards for trying. May they all die horribly. So, what else, besides my adamant refusal to keep my site up-to-date, is going on? Not much. Less than three weeks now until I move to Post Falls, Idaho. Living out […]
