A New Day! Let’s start the day off with a PayPa… November 5, 2004 7:56 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeA New Day!
Let’s start the day off with a PayPal donation link:
This Morning
I’m a bit stressed today. I really need to not go into the office and work on other focuses but we have to deliver today. It’s like all my milestones are falling on the same day. We have soccer tonight and guests arriving tonight to boot. The guests will be in the mountains and have said they won’t come by until Sunday but last time we had a surprise visit on Saturday. My wonderful wife has been working so hard to get the house in order.
I need a couple of new monitors downstairs. The two I have are getting so dark that at times I can barely read them. That has to be impacting my productivity.

This Morning
What a great start to the day! I woke at 3am with energy but went back to bed. Considered getting up at 4 and finally rose at 5:30 to bathe and get ready before the kids. Got Tommy up and bathed and now he wanders the house reeling in the pleasure of not having to groggily rush out the door.
It’s raining outside. I’d rather not drive into the office today. I’m torn. I have so much to do and so little time! Throw in complications like meetings and appointments. Monday evening: soccer
Tuesday evening: —-
Wednesday evening: STAR
Thursday evening: Scouts
Friday evening: soccer
Saturday evening: —-
Sunday evening: D&D for Tommy
I should be working like a 16 hour day. 24 hours in the day. Minus 2 hours for each evening event leaves 22 hours. Minus 2 hours in the morning getting the kids off to school leaves 20 hours. Minus 8 hours sleep leaves 12 hours. Wait a minute. That should be less. Minus 5 hours sleep leaves 15 hours. Minus 2 hours for driving and other unexpected things. Leaves 13 hours. Minus 1 hour for preparing and eatting dinner in the evenings leaves 12 hours. Minus 1 hour for lunch bathroom breaks etc leaves 11 hours. That’s not bad. I should be able to accomplish a lot in 11 hours.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeNicky makes a good point. Let’s not talk politics anymore. Our path for the next four years has been laid however we need not allow our civil liberties to be swept out from underneath us. A call to all Americans regardless of party views! Step up to the plate. For the next 4 years (and hopefully the rest of your life), write letters, make phone calls, send emails and be a part of the political process. When legislation is proposed, make your views known! Be an active American not a passive one!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeJust had a conversation with a “Bush Supporter.” Her quote:
“I’m a Bush supporter.” pause “I really don’t understand that much about politics.”
I was speechless.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeSo for fun, let’s step into GW Bush’s head for a minute. Let’s add in a few prime time quality flash backs and replay some dialogs that Junior has had.
Senior’s End of Term
GW: “Daaddee. It ain’t right that you didn’t get another term.”
Sr: “That is how the political process works son.”
GW: “But it tain’t right. You watch! I’m gonna get your Cold War back! I promise!”
Flashback Pre-Election 2000
GW: “Daaddee. I thinks I wanna run fer president.”
Sr: “Son. I don’t think you have what it takes.”
GW: “Daaddee. It looks like a lot of fun. Neat toys! You can make some calls right?”
Sr: “Sure son. But you are going to have to listen to everything I tell you.”
Flashback Election 2000
GW: “I’m gonna lose! This ain’t right.”
*ring ring*
Jeb: “Hullo.”
GW: “Jeb. Yer the gov’ner. Make those votes right or I’ll tell everyone about that time I found you and Charlie nachid.”
Jeb: “Fixed.”
Flashback Pre-election 2004
GW: “This doggoned divided House and Senate makes my job hard.”
*ring ring*
CIA: “Thank you for calling the CIA. We fix things! Can I help you?”
GW: “Make sure that House and Senate is mostly Republicans.”
*checks polls*
GW: “This son of a gun has a chance!”
*ring ring*
CIA: “Thank you for calling the CIA. We fix things! Can I help you?”
GW: “How good are you at counting?”
CIA: “Good enough to tell you that you don’t need to pack your things for at least another 4 years.”
Flashforward Pre-election 2008
CIA: “Oh! Hello George!”

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI cannot find the statistics to back this up at the moment but I heard that only 20% of 18-22 year olds bothered to show up and vote. Apparently the parties and protests are more important than their futures.
I cry out to you “this is your country! It is your responsibility to step up and knowledgably decide what type of country you wish to live in.” Put down your toys and better prepare yourself for the 2008 election (if there is one) so that when the other 80% of you are 22-26 perhaps you will take your future more seriously, study the issues, and make an effort to see this country governed instead of dictated.

Save America! November 3, 2004 9:23 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI have an idea! Let’s look at the numbers and in the states that democrats don’t stand a chance let’s move them to states that were borderline. We have 4 years to work to save America and democracy! By 2008 we should have been able to shuffle enough democrats around to fix this horrible condition of having a Republican controlled House AND Senate!
Do you understand the implications of having a nutcase sitting in the veto seat while the House and Senate are totally run by rich Republicans? Add to that the replacement of a Supreme Court Justice by the same nutball. Welcome back to the Middle Ages folks! You’ve just voted yourselves into a feudal system.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeCool video! The video is work safe but the site has some porn banners and links to adult oriented sites. The video shows a cornstarch mixture. When the liquid is vibrated different behaviors are demonstrated by blowing air into the mixture. The first example shows a hole that is formed and never collapses despite the air being removed. The 2nd example shows the interaction of 3 such holes. I would expect them to combine into one instead they bounce off each other. The 3rd (at higher vibrations) holes don’t form but fingers form from the liquid and double as they topple over on themselves. Very interesting!

Posted by djuggler in : Daily LifeI like this pledge on Instapundit.
Glen Reynolds words “…and I think that Kerry should consider whether he wants to concede gracefully or become a second Al Gore.” just get my ire. I remember the previous election. It was Bush that failed to concede the election gracefully. I contend that if GW’s brother was not the governor of Florida that these past 4 years would have been drastically different. Al Gore did the right thing and should have pushed it further!
