Ah, inventory...

It's almost done. I've been here since 6 this morning, and I'll prolly be here til 4 or 5.

Easy money, as they say.

Have a great weekend!

A little too close...

...this happened about half a mile from work, at the Arby's I used to go to lunch at. It's on Redwood and 17th South. Apparently they tire-spiked Redwood to get him, after he killed a police officer at the U, car-jacked someone's Ford, then ran amok on I-15 and -215 at high speed.

Here is another link/photo of this...person. He's freaky lookin'.

All of this makes me want to conceal/carry more and more. That, and it makes me wonder about the state/efficacy of the justice department and its enforcement.

I also wonder why people who do this think they can get away from the law. Sure, you can get a fast car, but you can't outrun radio, can you?

Ben can appreciate this quote "It's not his fault that he can behave/society's made him go astray/perhaps if we're nice he'll go away."

Father's Day pictures...

Here's me with my most excellent tie that Val got me for Dia de padres. It goes great with my suit, don't you think?

By the way, it's hard to keep your eyes open in direct sunlight...

Ahhhh, game playing fathers. Excellent.

I plan on having 2 or 3 old computers LANed for my kids and Val, so we can all play together. What fun it would be to play MechWarrior 3 or 4 together, or maybe Birth of the Federation. Right on!

I disagree...

I'm all for game guides. I have no problem buying them, looking at them, reading up on the game I'm gonna play. It is frustrating to play a game and not be able to find the things you need in-game. Game guides obviate that frustration.

It's not cheating, it's aiding me to keep my blood-pressure down. And that helps everyone. Besides, no one likes to lose.

Now, Valerie doesn't agree with this view, and that's OK. She'll play until she's about to give up before she'll go to a guide. Again, that's OK.

Here is the link to the comic.

Ahhh, deoxyribonucleic acid, how important you are...

...and how complex you are.

DNA is more complex than people thought, and the so called 'junk DNA' is not junk after all.

Makes me wonder what else there is in the world that we think we understand, but don't really. I think it's everything. Also makes me wonder how people can deny the existence of God, and think that all life is an astronomically huge (statistically speaking) coincidence.

(/soapbox)

I was cruisin' teh intarwebs this morning...

...and I came upon this.

It's a map comparing states' GDP's to other countries in the world.

It looks like UT has the same GDP (gross domestic product) as the country of Peru.
Michigan = Argentina , AZ= Thailand , ID=Ukraine , CA = France(wow!)

I think there are some people who have more time on their hands than they know what to do with. I suppose I'm one of them since I found it(but someone had a link on Ars that I followed).

Wow, that was quick...

...Mom and dad sold the IF house in 3 FRICKIN' DAYS!

3!

They put it up Thursday 7 June, had an offer of $2k more than they were asking on Friday, and they signed off yesterday.

Amazing...

Back to days...

...and boy is my schedule whacked. I couldn't get to sleep until ~12 last night, and woke up @ ~6. It's been a bit of a long day.

I have nothing to say today, yet, but if something comes up, I'll let you know.

I'm not gonna get on my soapbox...

...all I am gonna say is that this is a very sad situation, and it involves everybody.

I think the link speaks for itself.

I'm workin' nights this week, so I'm gonna go.

Have fun!

P.S. An interesting weekend. Val decided she wanted to go up into the foothills close to the house, in preparation to taking her Cub Scouts sometime in the near future. I should have worn pants, but nothing found me appetizing, fortunately. We only went ~ 2 miles, and the trail is ~6. Just a bit long. She wants to do the whole thing some morning soon. I don't think I really want to, but I'll prolly go so that she doesn't go alone.
