FRIDAY!!!

THIS is cool.
THIS is not. OMG.
THIS is creepy.

Thursday

  Snow moving in today.  Looks like we may get a lot.  Such is life in Iowa.  

  Leo posted a picture of Amy Winehouse on his blog.  I added a couple of other photos that show the decay of a young woman strung out on success and meth.  Pretty sad.   You can see that weight loss, number of tattoos and loss of teeth all happen at a similar rate.  Hope she can get straightened out by the time the grammys roll around.  She is nominated for six of them.   That would be impressive if not for the fact that Kanye West is nominated for EIGHT of them, effectively eliminating any credibility that still associated with  that institution.  Hope that he sweeps them so that he does not have a hissy fit like he did when he was not picked at the MTV awards.

  -Seems Dodge has a hit on its hand.  6,600 folks put deposits down in the first couple days to secure their Challenger.  Pricing on the bad-boy R/T looks to be about $40K, so I guess there won't be one of them in my driveway soon.  

  -Looks like it is pretty easy to hook up your Rock Band PS3 drum kit into your Mac and use it to trigger Garage Band.   -LINK

duh

Here is an article that says that diet soda drinkers are likely to be fat, so diet soda must make you fat. DUH. Do you suppose people drink diet soda BECAUSE they are fat. They should probably go to an AA meeting so that they can determine that AA causes people to become alcoholics.

Thank you, Iowa City

This is the CRAP that happens in our old neighborhood and the reason we had to leave the house we planned on living in for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Iowa City and the City Council for introducing us to this wonderful diversity. -STORY-

Microsoft says that Vista is being pirated 1/2 as much as XP was. They say that they were able to achieve this by increasing the authentication on Vista. Or it could just be that Vista sucks ass and nobody wants it?

sunday

Perhaps this is why Ferrari won't sell its supercars to just any dill-hole with a big wad of cash and NO FRIGGIN BRAINS. Nope. Those people buy Lambos.

Sat.

Well it looks like bad taste was not limited to white folks in the 70's. Here is an amusing look into the past.

thanks

Thanks for the comments. She was 96. We went to the funeral in Keota today. It was nice. Some of my family is staying at the Singmaster home that is a bed n breakfast now. Wow. That is a LOT of quartersawn wood. It was really nice hanging out with them and should be able to do more of that tomorrow.
Storms on the way, so I am hoping that everyone can get back home on time and safely.
