Midlife crisis: it crosses almost all cultures. [link]

Great. I turn 40 in three years.

No call from the mech yet. Either they are slackers or it took longer than they thought. Good thing I didn't spring for a cab last night, huh? Then I'd be really bitter.

Will give them more time.

We're spec'ing out a major project at breakneck speed. It's going to piss.so.many.people.off. But it has to be done. We've even got our own little cabal scheming away. And it's so confusing.

Be careful all you bad weathered people. (current temp 72, low tonight 60) Great day to vote.

Anyone who could bust you on that would have to out themselves as a member of the fandom to do so.

I always use my favorite characters for fake names in applications instead of Mickey Mouse or whatever. If people aren't fans Laura Roslin and Kara Thrace are just names, if they are fans they get excited.

From way back, yes you have to purchase an Official Rudy Giuliani Support Kit for $9.95. You get a yard sign, a bumper sticker, and a pin. [link] Guess that is why I am seeing so many more Romney signs. And Ron Paul has a bunch out there too. No democrat signs at all, silly party.

There are a ton of handmade (or what looks handmade) Ron Paul signs all over especially by the college.

Even Ron Paul stuff chalked on the sidewalk.

Whoo! Car is done!

Yay for car!!

I heard my first presidential ad on the radio this morning, and it was for Ron Paul.

From above -- yeah Matt they'd probably out themselves. But I've had a couple like John4rodney.

I found using hockey players /jersey numbers makes a good combination especially if I use harder to spell names and use another guy's number.

Speaking of hockey, Tampa's on Versus tonight, not sure if it's going to be in HD. I'm torn it's always good to see "my boys" in HD, but then again, they'll probably suck so the losing will be that harder to take.

I've been hearing ads for stuff like Water Reclamation Commissioner and County Recorder of Deeds. Weird. I do need to look into the local stuff though.

Hee. Some of those hockey names no one would ever guess...or spell correctly! The other thing you can do for passwords is to use the first letters of a phrase that you can easily remember. "Twas brillig and the slithy toves" becomes Tbatst. I tend to do a lot of l33t to add in the numbers, so that could become Tb@t5+.

Our weather...we had snow last night. But yesterday we had torrential rain. It flooded out Apache and evacuated some people. Flooded out (impassible) three out of the four possible routes to our new house. Eep! The builder, who tried number three of those routes, said the water crossing the road was six to eight feet!

This is why you should not camp in washes, peoples! It looks all innocent and like it's a tiny tiny stream, but when the rains come and the snowpack melts, you'd better get out the way. Anyway, today it's a little better.
