Who broke this glass onto my computer and all over my new curtain in my office? There were little shards of glass and coca-cola everywhere.
Maybe it was the squirrel demon that I found in the Attic.
North Korea
North Korea exploded a nuclear bomb and I really have no idea what we can do about this. I imagine it would be a really bad idea to start a war on two fronts, especially on the Chinese border. On the other hand isn't it ironic that we decided to attack Iraq about the Weapons of Mass Destruction while they were really a danger in North Korea the whole time.
"It is a setback for American prestige and influence in the region," Wolfsthal said. "The adminsitration will argue this will further increase North Korean isolation, but the fact is North Korea has stood up to the Bush adminsitration policy and won. There are very few options now to reverse what has taken place."
Electricity
I almost electrocuted myself with a metal socket cover. I forgot to screw it on tighly after painting and then it fell out and made the two sides of the plug touch, shooting sparks and fire into the air and melting the petal plate. I ended up kicking out the plug with rubber boots. Thank god this didn't happen when I wasnt home or there would not be any more house. I think I know why the socket covers are made of plastic most of the time now. It really is a better idea. Imagine if the plate got wet.
Canada
We ended up going to Niagara On The Lake
with (e:southeryankee) and company. Turned out to be a very pleasant day of wine tasting, eating and shopping. (e:matthew) got some fancy ass plant stands at an art store that was closing. We get yumy british candy including black current gummies. I love them.This was (e:matthew)'s gluten-free meal at Cafe Shaw. The place was kind of pricey but super tastey.
Inside a pretty flower on the street.
Wineries were neat but I am not into wine enough to ever go on a full day tour. I would much rather go on an eating tour. Say a chesse tour, is there such a thing?
Nicole, one of (e:southernyankee)'s friends has a Russian Toroise she is looking to give away and that is exactly what we were looking for so we might have a new roomie soon. On a side very funny note, I asked Anika to bring in Basra yesterday and she had't seen him much before. When she went to go look for him she found the dead turtle that we had found in the basement, which I put in the backyard for the bugs to eat. At first she thought Basra had died. I feel bad for not having mentioend about the dead turtle, haha.
The problem is starving them hasn't worked. Sometimes it does work. But this leader has told the people stories and myths about him and has them almost brainwashed. It is odd that A guy who loves our movies and culture dislikes us. I think the real answer maybe in south korea and if they can ever both get along and unify.
Starve them of the resources they need to continue this work.
"What this episode has told rogue nations around the world is that political correctness has completely paralyzed the west to the point of being incapable of making tough decisions."
What do you think is an appropriate non-politcially correct reaction?
Americans gave North Korea nuclear technology and other aid in 1994 in exchange for a *promise* of nonproliferation. We can see where that went.
The fact that NK tested a nuke is not GWB's fault, regardless of how anybody is incredulously trying to portray it.
Its not over though. Iran is watching this and seeing that the world doesn't have the guts to do the right thing with regards to NK, so Iran is saying to themselves, "why not us?" Iran will test a nuke within a couple years, possibly with the help of NK. What this episode has told rogue nations around the world is that political correctness has completely paralyzed the west to the point of being incapable of making tough decisions.
This is going to lead to a regional arms race. Japan and South Korea are now going to want nuclear weapons. China will throw a fit and try to stop it although they were the only ones that really could talk NK out of making a bomb. This is going to be the end result. The only question is, how will the USA be involved in all of this?
