Now our weatherman said we have a freezing frog advisory.
Poor frogs....
I said something about Rain of Toads in Bitches. I'm now imagining a shower of frozen amphibian bodies.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The horror... The horror....
A woman walking in front of me took a nasty tumble on an ice patch and fell right on her ass. And there was at least one fatality: I saw a dead pigeon standing in a frozen puddle, its feet embedded in an inch of ice, its body covered in frost....
OK, it probably died last night and then got frozen in place. But I prefer to think the Killer Frozen Death Fog got it....

Happy Birthday, Katie!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just realized something really funny: My big boss just came in with edits to something I'm working on, including taking the years out of something I'm working on, because "2010 sounds too far out." Well, you know, it's a three-year project, and it's 2007 now! Guess what? 2010 is three years away.
People are funny.
(At least I have confirmation she doesn't hate and/or want to fire me today.)

2010 sounds all scifi-ish and everything. (And is the title of a scifi book and movie.)
The year 2000 seemed scifi-ish to me until the mid-late '90s.

2010 . . .
When the movie 2010 came out, it seemed so, well, futuristic and possible.
I was promised flying cars! Where are my flying cars!

Yeah. 2010 was about a manned mission to Jupiter, 9 years after the first manned mission.
Back around 1970, people just assumed that all our manned space travel progress would continue. Instead, by the time we land on the moon again it will have been more than 45 years since any human has gone beyond Earth orbit.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Well, that pigeon was.
