From the New York Post on New York primary vote counts:

February 20, 2008 -- Mayor Bloomberg charged yesterday that "fraud" was behind the unofficial results in the New York Democratic presidential primary that produced zero votes for Barack Obama in some districts.
"If you want to call it significant undercounting, I guess that's a euphemism for fraud," said the mayor.
Unofficial tallies on election night gave Obama no votes in 78 out of more than 6,000 election districts.

Came back from getting lunch to discover that the circuit my computer is on had gone out. Discovered this after a couple frantic minutes of "WHY WON'T MY COMPUTER TURN ON?"

I am now on the lookout for black cats and cracked mirrors.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All of our printers are broken, apparently. I keep trying to tell people, this is the future, so we don't need paper, but no one believes me.

Happy Birthday, Jon!

I have a how-do-you-do-it type of question.

It's been rainy, so I'm wearing my Goretex jacket to work with my usual 2 bag-lady canvas bags of stuff I'm hauling back and forth across the Bay plus my purse. The Goretex is slippery. I don't have enough shoulder to hold things onto it.

If you grab a ruler and measure your shoulder from neck-bend to end of shoulder, how long is it? Mine (right one) is 5 inches long. I suspect that's really short/narrow.

WRT Emergency, I think this is the show that caused my childhood long confusion between "cardiac arrest" and giving CPR and arresting someone because they had done a crime. Like, for the longest time, I thought if you were arrested for robbery, someone would give you CPR.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JON!!

The Goretex is slippery. I don't have enough shoulder to hold things onto it.

I've got 6" from neck-bend to shoulder, but I have wide shoulders. 5 inches sounds normal to me. I've also found that it depends on the jacket and the type of strap - I have jackets that make anything I'm carrying on my shoulders slip off. That's a major reason why I use messenger bags. (That, and wanting to have my arms as free as possible.)

Popular kids gave each other big, personalized cards and gave the tiny ones to the peons.

Jilli - I may ask you for a bulk discount on GCS toddler t-s next year. ... because that's the way I play _that_ game. Won't the other parents loooove me.

Mine is 5 inches too. I consider myself average-shouldered - certainly not wide, but I am not a tiny person by any means.

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

Like, for the longest time, I thought if you were arrested for robbery, someone would give you CPR.

Heh.

When I was a kid, the warning on cigarette machines about how minors couldn't buy cigs used to confuse me. I was thinking "miner", and was wondering if, say, coal miners were a lower class of citizen and thus were prohibited from smoking....
