So, when we turn these clocks back we gain an hour?
Not if you're a parent of a toddler.
The toddler can't tell time.
The toddler goes to bed when the clocks say 8PM (already turned back).
You go to bed at 9PM.
The toddler is awake and frisky by 5AM.
Well - maybe mommy gets an extra hour while daddy takes care of entertaining the toddler for the weekend.

Sad to say... we were sent back home. The contractions were not "labor," yet.
Just contractions. Just two days of mild, evenly spaced, sleep-depriving contractions.
Also, sad to say, I was thinking about taking my laptop to update the Blog and such...
But then, I thought I might like to stay married...

ANY hour now...
Susan is having some sort of contractions... They're not overpowering, but they've been steady since noon...
So - we expect a baby by sometime noon tomorrow...

A thought crossed my mind as to "the terrorists" next potential plot.
Perhaps, they could just go "smaller, but with more people" for the next attack. Perhaps, they could commit an attack that, if only one person did it, it would be considered "vandalism," or something as insignificant. But - if the same crime was carried out instantaneously by thousands of "terrorists," our nation would suffer greatly.
So - here's you next plan, Mr. Terrorist. Have thousands of your "sleepers" go in to our bigger cities and drop M80 firecrackers into toilets/sewer systems at exactly the same time.
The immediate result could be quite shocking.
The longt-term result would be a tightening of laws and punishments for nearly EVERY "crime." Kids attempting to toilet-paper a house could get life at Guantanamo Bay in the future.

Not happy with your choices for the next election?
Try a write in of "None of the Above."
I'd love to see "
NOTA" win in our PA gubernatorial election.

So it seems, they do things differently in Texas.
At least,
when it comes to school violence, they do...

It's quite simple, actually, but would they do it?
Apple needs to avoid getting caught when the paradigm shifts.
Apple needs to make sure that they are the first to offer an MP3 player that does more than just play downloaded MP3 and Video Content. They need to be the first to offer an single unit that:
*Can play nearly any Digital Media format.
*Can send FM signals to broadcast content to personal, home, and car radios.
(So far, they've done these things.)
*Can receive FM and AM radio signals. (This should be EASY.)
*Can receive content from a Subscription Digital Satellite Service, like Sirrius or XM Radio (but perhaps Apple's own version of the same). Their BEST option would be to make a unit that could even receive digital and/or broadcast video signals, as well.
I would even consider buying such a unit. As it is, now, I would miss not having AM and FM radio content.
Will it happen, or will SONY beat them to it?
I'm betting on SONY.

Here's why we get the local paper.
It's certainly not for the professional writing...

A new link has been added to the "Links"
It's http://www.
thechurchyouknow.com/
It's a bit funny, insightful, and possibly thought provoking.
Your thoughts.
I know I'll be making some suggestions for them.

So - Susan and I were discussing different driving habits that either scare us, amuse us, annoy us, make us sick, or are us.
Susan easily gets carsick, so more habits frustrate her than me. For example, my tendency to sit at light in neutral, without using brakes, causes the car to drift ever-so-slightly. Making a pregnant woman carsick is very rude. Making her laugh at the same time is just plain mean.
It used to drive her nuts when I would pay so much attention to the little read-out on our Passat that tells me the average MPG we're getting on each trip. Now that she's been driving the car, she does it too.
We both get annoyed by the folks who think we'll move faster if they ride our tails. Granted, they're probably annoyed by our adherence to the "suggested" speed limit.
Most folks get annoyed by the cars that need to constantly change lanes in order to be in front of just one more car. This is especially annoying if you know that you'll see them sitting right next to you at the next stop light.
Being that Susan get carsick easily, the folks who ride the accelerator right up to a stop sign or stop light are nearly unbearable to ride with. They're quite amusing to watch, knowing that their blowing gas, transmission, and brakes all at the same time. Of this party, there seem to be two types. There's the type who are actually accelerating the whole time; either hoping to beat a light or make it change by pressing harder on the accelerator. The second type seem to have the "accelerator" confused with the pedal in bumper cars; thinking that if they remove their foot the car will abruptly stop. To this group, the "accelerator" is actually the "moving" pedal.
Which driver are you? Have I missed a few?
