I usually forget about St. Patty’s day until it’s half over. Today was no exception. Enjoy the green. We will return to the usual blog tomorrow.
To Sleep Easy
Well, after last night I now know what a home stereo system feels like. I did a sleep study to figure out why nine hours of sleep every night isn’t enough for me. I had more wires attached to me…
Consulate to Move
World Net Daily is reporting that the U.S. Government is planning to move it’s consulate in East Jerusalem to a new building in West Jerusalem. The thought is that the Israelis will eventually transfer that part of the city to…
Please Excuse This Rant
There are alot of morons on the road, wherever you go, but I can’t figure out why they seem to be more plentiful at the License Bereau. My employer owns the building we are in, and they lease out several…
Tip or Extortion?
I read Vox Popoli every day, and would love to do my own posts based on half of his posts, but this isn’t the Vox Popoli discussion board, so I keep the cross-posting to a minimum. However, he’s got one…

Annoying!!!
One thing that’s high on my list of frustrations is when other people don’t think about things. My power went out for 20-30 minutes tonight. Usually a power outage lasts under a minute, but when 10 minutes had passed by…
An Island Lost
Funny coincidence today. A friend of mine emailed me a few months ago with the link to a real estate listing for an island in Fiji that he was dreaming about buying. It’s 5400 acres, owned by a Japanese company,…
