Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

Yeah. The $500 thing could happen today.

I'm glad I could help, Beej! Feel free to email my profile addy any time if you have any questions.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

A headline in the Chicago Tribune that concerns me: Sewage warnings for Chicago River

(OK, that was actually the text of the link to the story.)

The river is the cleanest it has been in decades. But people riding the popular downtown tour boats or canoeing the concrete-lined channels soon will see warnings above each of the 241 pipes that pour untreated human and industrial waste into the river's murky flow after heavy rains.

OK, I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that untreated human and industrial waste being poured into a river is a bad thing.

Coincidentally, there was also a story about Dave Matthews in the Tribune today: [link]

Ben & Jerry's recently unveiled its spring line of flavors, and the makers of Chunky Monkey and Cherry Garcia have introduced a new taste that's likely to be a hit -- except perhaps in Chicago.

Dave Matthews Band Magic Brownies.

For those who recall the incident of last August, you have to think that everyone involved -- ice cream maker and band members alike -- could have picked a less-disquieting flavor.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Heh, I just went to Amazon, and this is what popped up as the first item on my Amazon recommendations page:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey, speaking of Amazon, let me make a quick plug for our affiliate links, located over on the links page. If you buy through that link, we'll get $$$, eventually. Or at least $. Someday.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Keebler's Grasshoppers are a decent substitute for Thin Mints.
