I think they should send Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and Steve Jobs into space. And then let them fight.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Hope you're feeling better, Frankenbuddha!! Random sickness is really of the ugh, especially on a Wednesday.
Speaking of ugh, we have three inches of that nasty heavy slushy snow, and it's still coming down with a very heavy east wind that blew right into my face as I walked into the office this morning. I hope that they let us go home early, but I know that it'll have to come down a lot harder before that happens.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Hamster Powered Paper Shredder
See, this is the circle of life. This concept design of a hamster cage almost leaves me speechless. The paper shredder on top of the cage is powered by the hamster and it created the paper that can serve as the hamster bedding.

Got up early this morning. The house is still a disaster zone and I need to sort through clothing to make it better. Which means I need to figure out what my ever changing body is really doing which is no fun.
ita, if you ahve wine colored cushions, and I think you do, I'll take those!

Now tagless for your comfort.
msbelle, Here's a comprehensive blog list of Gore's testimony coverage. I hope someone's got the transcripts. It's got it on YouTube, too.
Here's a searchable database for congressional hearings.

I'm sad, but there's no way I can de-dust as many cushions as I own on a usefully regular basis.
There's a tannin-based spray [link] that kills dust mites, and it doesn't seem to stain.

Dammit. It looks like Dana & I are sleep issue twins and Matt & I are cold twins. Could the rest of you stay happy and healthy today so I can get some rest?
This evening I go out to the land with our foundation guy, and I'm sure to be completely incoherent and ask things like, so can you dig a hole here?

Feel better!
Thanks. I thought I did, but my temp is back in the 101 range. Meh. I don't feel as achey, but, LORD, I do not feel good.
Random sickness is really of the ugh, especially on a Wednesday.
Eh, I'd rather be sick in the middle of the week than during the weekend, that's for sure. Much as if the temprature is only going to break in to the mid-30s to low 40s, I'd SOOOOO much rather have snow than rain (or "wintery FUCKING mix").

What is even happening?
Frank, why do you keep heating up your body with lots of covers and hot showers? You need to cool it down. Take something (if you haven't already), drink a lot, dress lightly and loosely, and if you're terribly chilled cover up with a sheet. No bundling up. t mother
