So in the Wing Commander movie, why does the bulldozier thingy have to push the pilot out of the dock? Couldn’t they have spacewalked out and rescued her first?
It’s been a rather crazy week so far. I’ve been out of town until this evening for a funeral. A close cousin of my wife died unexpectedly over the weekend. I can’t say I knew him terribly well, but he and his siblings were pretty close to my wife and her siblings while they were growing up. It made for a rough day for her. I also hadn’t realized that he made quite an impact on his community. I estimate well over 1000 people turned out for the service today and there must have been close to 100 cars in the procession to the cemetery.
But, now I am back and quite exhausted. I’ve done a lot of driving in the last two days.
And, in the “it just gets worse and worse” department – While driving home today, I was surprised at the number of long trains that were sitting idle, presumably because their containers were not in demand to actually ship anything.
And, sadly, no – the Caddy stayed home as I was traveling with the kids. When it comes to road trips with kids, there’s just no substitute for a minivan.
Though I certainly would have enjoyed the trip more in my CTS :)
MILWAUKEE – An 18-year-old male student is accused of posing as a girl on Facebook, tricking at least 31 male classmates into sending him naked photos of themselves and then blackmailing some for sex acts.
What amazes me with this story is that there are still high school kids out there who actually believe that someone they meet on-line is who they say they are.
Our local school system teaches “Power Point” to third graders! Maybe it is time to have a grade school level class that teaches how ANYONE you meet ANYWHERE online, regardless of who they say they are or what pictures they send you … can be (and probably is) fooling you.
I thought that the deposed African leader and the millions he wants to send me would go away after our parents generation “logs off” … but it looks like there is a whole new generation being raised , “fleece ready”.
The following items have been shipped to me by Amazon.com:
1 Watchmen $11.99 1 $11.99
Yay me. It was 40 bucks at B&N.
I still have the digital version in case anyone finds need for it, please let me know.

I’m ordering Chinese for dinner. Won Ton soup has magical healing properties and I need some healing.
My mother’s name is not Cj.
My name is also not actually Cj. I think that’s been covered here before though.
Who is this Cj you all speak of, anyway.
An impostor.
For the sake of juvenile humor, I will share the fortune from my fortune cookie.
The first blow does not fell the tree.
A wise man wrote that, indeed.
“. . . in bed.”
Cj, if that is indeed your name, I always order hot & sour soup when I’m sick. Makes the nose runny and the head unstuffy.
Hope you all are just fine tonight. My back is thrown out and I’m going to get horizontal. Nighty-night.
Evening, DP.

Hot and Sour soup DOES have mystical powers!
Coincidently … I went to the Chinese buffet for dinner. I had some of most everything.
My fortune said …
“You are original and creative.”
(… EssBee? You may have the honors)
Sorry to hear about your wife’s cousin, Ed.
… and all the driving. Did you at least get to make that drive in that swell Cadillac?
Owie for your back EssBee. *gentle hugs*
Ed, my condolences to you and your family. *hugs* for you too.
*hugs* for everyone.
Thanks to all.
And, sadly, no – the Caddy stayed home as I was traveling with the kids. When it comes to road trips with kids, there’s just no substitute for a minivan.

Condolences on your loss Ed.
Morning Pan, so unlike a lot of the UK, no snow today, just cold and frosty.
Morning Pan.
