Hobbling was the word of the day. Still not adjusted to the time. Up at absurd hour, and then sent Karen an email to let her know I was awake. We went to the cafe and had a vastly underwhelming breakfast. We went for a walk on her bad leg via Mandalay Place, Luxor, Excalibur, […]
At the same time Karen and I were at the ER, a dozen people were at Caesars Palace when their escalator malfunctioned, hurling them off. Coincidentally they were all taken to the hospital we were at. Read all about it here. Readers of Terry Pratchett all know CMOT Dibbler — he’s a fictional character in […]
Flight got in last night on schedule and the luggage some 45 minutes later (typical for Vegas). All was in order. Cab line went quick, but asshole cab driver took us for serious ride. Very pissed. LAS to Mandalay Bay is a $10 cab ride at best and it was $20. I even said something. […]
US News and World Report released its annual “Best Public Universities in The Nation” list. Sitting right at the top in first position is, again, UC Berkeley. Another organization has released its list of the best Universities in the world (public or private) and I’d like to tell you that Cal was at the top […]
I’ll start off with this quote from McClatchy-Tribune Information Services’ Jon Dawson who is reviewing the new Britney Spears release: “The Singles Collection gathers all of Britney Spears singles released between the years of 1999 and 2009. This is a good thing, because if they’re all in one place, maybe somebody with a flamethrower can […]
First, a special ‘hello’ to Nucor Steel’s corporate office in Charlotte who’ve made several visits to my blog in the past few days. Guys, you know I actually check my logs, right? I’m not looking for you specifically, but I do see you – you folks leave a large digital fingerprint every time you visit. […]
I’m watching V — second episode. Getting weird interference which sort of sucks — the frames seem to be skipping every now and again, and there’s the random red streak through the picture for a fraction of a second. Pretty weird that it’s happening on this show. Anna is definitely smoking hot, and she oozes […]
I’ll start with the doctor. He said I can expect to have my cough another one or two weeks. Yay. This is from the legendary lawyer, Razzie. I am speechless. Seriously. This is the most unusual, bizarre, unreal, unspeakable, product I’ve ever seen. It’s a real product for a real condition. You will laugh or […]
Today my experience that all women are clinically insane on some level was confirmed. I will not relate the story, but must point out banging your head on a concrete wall is far more productive than trying to understand women. I know it’s a cliche, I know it’s dinosaur-era thought, but it’s still true. So […]
The good, fantastic, thrilling news is that Nucor, thanks to our industry’s objections, had their complaint voted down 6-0 so there is no immediate effect. We Twittered and posted on our Facebook account earlier today. The official ruling may be read here. Why did they lose? I don’t know. However, a 6-0 decision against them […]
