I like the egg one the most.

I talked with my grandpa on the phone just a few minutes ago. This may not seem like a big deal to most people, but the man has been terribly hard-of-hearing since before I was born. State-of-the-art hearing aids (digital, no less) help him hear normal conversation, as long as you talk directly toward him slowly and clearly. We just got them a cell phone, and the volume on it is loud enough for him to hear and comprehend. We had an entire conversation where I didn't have to repeat myself - that's not something I remember happening often.
So, thank you, cell phone company maker. You've given my grandpa the chance to be one of the cool kids and whip out a cell phone to hold obnoxious conversations in public places.
Wait until I teach him how to text message. Look out, world. They already know how to email and send IMs; this will make them much more dangerous :)

And finally, more proof that the current administration is well into its campaign to destroy the US health care system. Kudos, esteemed senators. I bet taking away access to mammograms in every state, well-child care in most states and dozens of other life saving procedures makes your corporate overlords happy.

To the man who left his Hummer running in the handicapped spot at the Mobil station near South Campus this morning:
I hate you, for oh so many reasons. When gas hits $4/gal I hope you suffer.

If you're an epileptic, or are otherwise prone to seizures, you SHOULDN'T BE ALLOWED BEHIND THE WHEEL OF A CAR. I was going to pick up some brewing supplies this evening, and as I pulled out I saw the aftermath of a car accident, with the guy who caused it in the driver's seat in the midst of a seizure. There were three or four people there on cell phones (calling 911) already, and the girlfriend who was with him seemed calm - like it had happened before. That's ridiculous. He could had killed someone while driving, instead of just denting a fender. That person, and whoever knew this and didn't speak up when he tried to drive, is a menace.

In several weeks, we will have many, many gallons of maple syrup mead. I don't know the specifics yet, but it will involve several buckets, a bit of bleach, 40-60 million yeast cells, and sweet, sweet maple goodness.

Today, I bought purple shoes. I may only buy purple shoes from now on, and it was the best $7 I spent all month.

My dog enjoys her three b's: her bear, her bone, and her 'bee (frisbee). Is there any interest in joining Abby for a birthday party? I'm thinking some sunny, April evening (her birthday's on the 19th), (friendly, non-biting) dogs and their owners could join us for an evening of homemade doggie treats and tennis balls.
