Man, I only WISH I had some root and a cat!

Man, I only WISH I had some root and a cat!

Well, once your cat eats your root and vomits it all over the carpet, you might not think that....

Water delivery guy was just here. He's totally bought off Lulu (boss's German shepherd) with treats - he brings some for her every time he makes a water delivery.

My university canceled classes at 5 yesterday, and all classes before 10 today were canceled. I'd planned on getting in to the office this morning to get some work done, but I decided to sleep instead.

There's some snow on the ground, and it looked like we were getting sleet before, but not much happening now.

So basically, no one can remember anything from last winter?

Four to six inches of snow could still fall in Boston, a city that has seen less than two inches of snow all winter. That could complicate the commute Wednesday morning for motorists who haven't had much experience driving in winter weather this season.

"If we were talking normal winter, this would be old hat," said Charlie Foley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Taunton.

Happy V-Day y'all!

No snow day, but it is way colder than it should ever be in Dallas. My car refused to start this morning, believing as I do that anything below 40 is stupid weather for humans to be out in.

Mr. Jane and I don't have huge plans for tonight, bottle of wine and dinner at home with exchanging of gifts and snuggling in the cold. We're going home to Louisiana this weekend for Mardi Gras, so no sense in making a huge deal today, only to have to go and make a huge deal this weekend.

What are everyone else's plans?

TUNGSTEN!

I remember hearing a speech from Douglas Adams at JavaOne. He talked a lot about the 10,000 year clock project. One prototype used solid tungsten balls and apparently some where shipped around and kept by people in the project, they had a lot of fun watching FedEx guys picking up these very heavy little boxes. He also said the tungsten balls came with a disclaimer about care noting that nuclear explosions might mar the surface.

Um... not the most trustworthy of sources, but....

From The Globe:

Fed up with her hubby's refusal to deal with their shredded relationship, Laura Bush has told the president that she's leaving him for a month---and maybe for good! ... Her desperate decision comes just weeks after a furious George stormed out on her following another bitter argument. "Laura's had it!" says the source. "It looks as if their marriage has reached the bitter end."

[T]he first lady had divorce papers drawn up, and showed them to George, pals say, telling him that if he didn’t shape up she would file. But George has stood by Condi---and now he's paying the price for loyalty to her.

But there is another, confirming source - The National Examiner:

The deteriorating marriage of George and Laura Bush has reached crisis level---First Lady Laura Bush has secretly hired a divorce lawyer, The Examiner can reveal. ...

She remembers what happened to Sharon Bush when she was getting a divorce from George's brother Neil. She didn't get the settlement she deserved until she threatened to expose all the family secrets in a tell-all book. ... "It's over," says the source. "The minute George's term of office expires, so will their marriage."

Does the fact that two tabloids are reporting this make it any more believable?

Don't believe it until it's in the National Enquirer....

Does the fact that two tabloids are reporting this make it any more believable?

Only if they're not using each other as sources.

Still, it's entertaining enough that I'm going to choose to believe it until someone gives me a reason not to.
