Abby was playing tic-tac-toe with Jessica last night.
After a few cat’s games [no winner] Abby asked me, “Dad, how do I defeat mom?”
If I only knew…

Springtime Flowers
Some of our flowers are starting to bloom. Here’s a Crokus from the front:
Low Hanging News
I shouldn’t pick on the news writers, except that its their job to write useful news… or is it? Take this article for example. I want to know what form of logic is consistent that allows you to have an influx of people into an area, that if removed, means that the area would lose population. You could logically say that if those people stopped coming into an area that the populoation would stagnate and eventually, due to death and alien abductions the population would go down, but you can’t say that because immigrants are moving into an area that the population would go down if they stopped coming. Its a false argument.
Let me put it forth in a formula because I can’t [SIC]:
Immigrants + population in an area = greater population
but that doesn’t mean that
population in area + 0 > population in area
I’m sure that’s a bad formula and I’m sure I lost most of the readers after the word forumula above.
Worst Horror Movie Concept Ever
I think this beats out any other prior bad movie concept. Biting Sheep and humanimals [not safe for children and probably work]. I don’t care if this is brought to us by the people who made Gollum, or the people who helped make Gumby, this is dumb. But the upside of bad movies like this is that you know that Hollywood is making a killing on movies to dump money into projects like this. MPAA: when money is being bled like this, please don’t come knocking on private citizen’s doors about losing money because of file sharing 🙂
Getting Up Early Helped A LOT!
By reading this article (link) you will get the impression that the switch to daylight savings netted almost no gain in power efficiency in the United States. I want to posit that the scramble that went into checking software out to make sure that it was ready for the change cost the U.S. more money in computer power and man hours than it will save for decades.
Sad.
