More snow pictures

Before I went to work I swung by Freedom Park


There was a snow babe there


This was the view out our window at work


Leaving work I took this lame sunset shot

No more Mr. Nice Guy

A couple of weeks back a co-worker asked me if I would work for him on Satruday, February 28th so he could do something with his son. I said sure. This would involve me having Friday off and then working on Saturday while he worked my Friday and had the Saturday off. Naturally yesterday was a snow day so my co-worker didn't have to work and he's off today and here I am stuck at work. The son of a gun. That is the last time I ever do anything nice for anybody ever again. Ah well, at least there is a nice sunny snowscape out the window here. I'll take a picture of it and post it tomorrow.

Winter Storm '04

Pretty cool snowstorm we got here in Charlotte yesterday. Reminds me of the old days when I was a lad in northern Michigan. Here's a few pics I took this morning while walking down to the Harris Teeter to buy some soda and a frozen pizza.

Wha?

It's snowing like hell and they haven't closed the library yet? What gives?

Wha' Happened?

The other night I heard Dennis Miller say, on his new show, that we shouldn't worry about who we lock up. I paraphrase: Let's lock up who we think might be guilty and when we get them all then we'll decide what is right and what is wrong.

Who is this person? Dennis Miller used to be one of the most insightful and intelligent comedians in the country. I really find it interesting how the 9/11 attacks completely changed how people think. Sure the attacks were horrible but some countries lose twice as many people every few years during major earthquakes. We killed more people in Iraq. I think, like Steve Dallas from Bloom County, that aliens kidnapped Dennis Miller and then reversed his brain.

Holy Cow

It's now official. Everything causes cancer. I might quit smoking or drinking but I ain't gonna quit cunnilinguining. Is that a real word?

Stupid ass war on drugs

How can you get indicted on a federal charges just by helping a junky friend by some cocaine? That's just dumb.

What the hey?

Just read this story via James' blog. Sexual encroachment? What the hell? Sounds to me like the old horny bastard was hitting on her. Shit, I went through tougher experiences during my freshman year of high school. I think I'd rather fend off the advances of an old horny poet than have five seniors dunk my head in the toilet.

Sexual encroachment? By the way it's defined in this article it's an advance by anyone who physically revolts you. Does that mean that the sloppy drunk women at the Comet Grill a couple of years ago that played with my hair was encroaching me? Soon, if you you raise your eyebrow to a co-worker you will be accused of "sexual suggestion." I think Paglia is right, she is trivializing the real problems others have with this silly accusation.

Maybe it's too big?

You know how school and city buses sometimes wear away the grass at some intersections due to their back wheels rolling up over the curb because buses are too big for the intersection? There is a spot at one of the entrances to the library with the same pattern of worn grass. Today I saw what caused the grass to be worn away when a giant SUV bumped over the curb to enter the parking lot.

Why I love P2P file sharing

I just downloaded a few songs by a cool band that Billy from work told me about. They are called the Constantines. I have seen a couple of reviews of the band that called them a combination of Fugazi and Bruce Springsteen. How can you not be intrigued by that? I am listening to the songs I downloaded right now. You know, I don't have enough songs to burn and the music is really dang good. I think I will buy their new album this weekend. Damn file sharing is destroying music!
