Amy up. Kids done homework. Tommy worked in yard.
My head is swimming. I can’t wait for this evening to be done.

Ramblings, often stream of conscious, journaling the events of my life.

Cathy left for her meeting. I had a phone call and found out I’m in the pool for another job possibility with yet another company that I’m familar with. That puts me in active consideration with 3 companies and a total of 5 positions. My new Motorola v400 is already exhibiting some Gremlin like behaviors that are irritating me. I have the Midas touch for electronics. I love them! I know how to do fantastically cool things with them. But they melt with my touch!
Noah and Sarah are home. I need a nap.
Limos
So you think that Hummer turned into a lengthy limosine looks cool? Check out this 747 turned into Limo! (unfortunately, no picture)
Zero Tolerance or George Orwellian High School
Zero tolerance raises alarms “Parents say Katy ISD overdisciplining students for minor offenses” and I’d have to agree.
Bing and other faculty members greet the students as they lift up their shirts and pants, empty their pockets and take off their shoes…
Sounds to me like some faculty are getting their jollies.
Certainly doesn’t sound like school is a fun place to get an education. This article makes it sound more like training for institutionalization.

So I wonder if I could pull $250k in a year working in Iraq? …And live to tell about it.
Politically Incorrect Humor
Two Arabs are sitting in the Gaza strip chatting over a pint of goat’s milk.
One pulls his wallet out and starts flipping through pictures and they start reminiscing.
“This is my oldest son. He’s a martyr.”
“Here’s my second son. He’s a martyr too!”
After a pause and a deep sigh, the second Arab says wistfully, “They blow up so fast, don’t they?”

Jeep manual found! Also a horde of other great books!
Tomorrow the Jeep gets a new starter and I take all the construction debris in the driveway to the dump!

Yes! Got some cleaning done (put things away not thrown away). And reorganized in the bedroom to better understand what is in our mystery boxes. Identified several to grow through and throw stuff away while everyone else is asleep.
Found some of my books that I’ve been looking for (magic books, music tablature etc) but still not the Jeep manual.
Time to update the list of missing things:
Things I can’t find:
– my house keys
– the bathroom caulk
– the two caulk guns
– my mind
– a job
– me
– the Haynes manual to fix the Jeep
– time
– most of my tools
– my sunglasses
– fingernail clippers (neither of the two)

More Robotics in the news. Military applications of course. This time a robotic airplane that takes off, drops a bomb and lands without human intervention (except to authorize the drop).

Mom rises! I’m heading down to the dungeon to find work. I have to repair the art computer asap.

Recording Amy’s voice was so fun I had to do it again.

Amy rants “MOm MEE!” and now climbs into my lap to help at the computer. Wow! 5 sneezes! Earlier she said “Dada type” and “Dada’s [d]rink” and “frog frog frog” and “redip reedip”. She just now almost dropped my coffee mug and surprisedily (such a word?) said sharply “Whoa!” Yuck! She is spitting into my coffee mug! OH! No she is saying “Hot” and blowing into the empty mug!
I recorded Amy’s voice and just played it back for her and she got surprised and silenced, stood on my lap, leaning toward the computer, listened for a second said “who dat?” listened some more then said “dat me!”

Blind Blog “One of the first steps to becoming a guide dog instructor is to spend ten days blindfolded…” What a cool concept! I’ve tried covering just one eye for a weekend and found it incredibly difficult!
Thanks to MetaFilter where I found the link!
