A headline in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer today read, “Texting while driving: Should it be a crime?.
Why isn’t the answer to this question obvious? How about an article, “Texting while driving: Why isn’t a crime yet?”
(Translation: ILBL8 i hit some1 doh = “I’ll be late. I hit someone… Stupid me!”)

There have been a few problems after I upgraded to Wordpress 2.1. I’m hoping they’ll get resolved quickly.
In the mean time go outside, read a book, or call your mother.
– Later that afternoon –
Wow! Practically everything has been changed, upgraded, replaced, edited, or hammered into place. I like the update to the […]

Slow Down Week
“Seven days without fast food, fast cars or cheap thrills. Seven days of taking your time, breathing easy and making yourself at home.”
I only heard about it today, but there’s no reason why we couldn’t experience, practice and enjoy Slow Down Week, next week… or any week.

Before sunset, I braved the icy roads and drove to Golden Gardens Park. I was hoping to catch a glimpse of comet McNaught. The temperature was in the mid-to-low thirties and there was a brisk breeze. Even if I didn’t get a glimpse of the comet, watching the sunset was worth it.
I […]
