Time for the weekly ketchup, albeit a little later than normal.
Update on the POS... is that it's still running, and has not had a problem since the day it didn't start. Could be a good sign? Maybe. Could be a bad sign? Probably. I'm sure it will decide to have ...

I dig all these shows except All in the Family. I think West Wing should have been on top, though. I think it was a very "intelligent" show. CSI is a little iffy, though. The science they use on the show is seriously flawed. Terminal velocity has nothing to do ...

At first glance, I really thought I was going to be reading an article about Fischer joining the Wings for the last part of the season and the playoffs a-la-Forsberg/Niedermayer/Selanne.

You know... in 1986... I might not have minded crappy play from the Wings like this.

What the deuce? High-speed chase in Monroe that involves a car getting totally destroyed at the entrance of Nortel Lanes? This is like four weeks in a row (or close to it) something wacked out has happened around here.

After an all-night stay at the dealership, a morning of being hosed-down with water and an afternoon being diagnosed over the phone by Chrysler, no conclusion was made in what made my car go bump-bump-bubadabubada dead yesterday. At least by this afternoon they weren't acting like I was crazy. ...

I don't agree with some of the choices on this list (Guinness... ewww) but I've actually had 12 of the 20 arbitrary "top beers" this blogger has compiled.

Time to ketchup. Haven't posted anything since Thursday and I have to keep my four twelve fans happy. Yes I'm counting you lurkers. In no particular order... Played wallyball on Saturday for the first time ever... I think we always played on Fridays before because of work schedules for ...

Learned something new today. Or, tonight, rather.
Came out of work today and my front right tire was looking really low. My tires always look low, it's just the way the car sits on them, but it looked extraordinarily low. Low enough that I figured something was wrong. So, I got ...

I have no idea why, but I've decided to give Windows Live Writer another try. It seems like a really good program, but maybe just too bloated for what I do. What do I do? Write one paragraph blurbs then paste in some video... usually, anyhow. Anyhow, not much ...

Friday was my first visit to our new building (for work, of course, but you all knew that) in quite a while, and I was really surprised how well it really is coming along. I would have never thought it would be as finished-looking as it was. There's still a ...

First, my saxophone playing was anything but sexy. Second, I could only hit one altissamo note, and it wasn't even really in tune.

Huckabee is on the Colbert Report right now playing air hockey with a puck shaped like the state of Texas. If he wasn't such a religious zealot, I think I might vote for the guy.
Well that and if he had a chance of beating McCain at this point of the ...

I think if you want to get a sampling of how stupid people really are, just go to Meijer. While there, you'll see people that don't know how to take care of their children, discipline their children, drive, push a cart, know how to get out of the way of ...

Whoops I meant catch-up. Eh, whatever.
J's Smokehouse... Last Saturday, the crew and myself (or rather, a random sampling of the crew, you know we don't all roll anymore unless it's someone's birthday) went to dinner at J's Smokehouse in Monroe atop the Fox Club. I had heard reviews in person ...

It's a balmy 74 here at the CDC, so it looks like temperatures have returned to normal. The heat must still be wacked out, though, since I have it on. I usually don't have to have it on. It's also on the highest setting.
This morning there was no hot water ...
