Flame
Boy!
 Another
family planning clinic was attacked, firebombed on
New Year's Eve, this time in Florida. Reportedly the
culprit was a homeless man inflamed to action by the
raucous
protestors
outside
the clinic.
Regardless of his economic situation why is it always
men who seem to be the instigators in these attacks?
If this really was about protecting
the unborn you'd think we'd have at least one female suicide bomber take
out a clinic by now. From what I can tell they just do a lot of nagging,
and I can get plenty of that at home.
The real women with the guts in this country are the ones inside the clinics
performing treatment, counseling patients, and manning the phones.

 I woke
up cold this morning. Somehow my electric blanket had
stopped working in the night and a quick investigation
revealed that all the power was out. After further
snooping I discovered that <blush> I'd forgotten
to pay the bill.
In my defense there was some confusion as the initial
bill never arrived and the cut-off notice hit the mailbox
disguised as a Chinese food take-out menu. I found
it one day too late.
The last time this happened
was about ten years ago when I was spending long hours
working off-site developing web sites for a major player
in the business.
I'd come home to sleep and eat and not much else. There's
nothing like coming home to a steaming house at the
end of a scorching
summer day to remind you the world doesn't stop just
because you're busy.
The upshot of this is that I spent the greater part
of a very pleasant winter's day today waiting for the
electric company truck to arrive, and it was FANTASTIC!
I
got to spend
the whole business day free from the random cyber-interruptions
that incessantly pummel my mind. My job is primarily
net related so I've become accustomed to my short-term
memory being
sliced and diced by the vagaries of the world wide
web.
Instead I cleaned house, getting all the little jobs
done that I've been neglecting, almost whistling
while I worked. It was so meditative and
relaxing that I'm
considering
not paying the bill again next month.

Republican Job Creation Update
 1-6-2012:
Congress will return to session on January 17th. They
will work for six whole days this month. Must be nice.
Don't expect much Federal job creation during this
period.
