Yep. I missed updating yesterday. Sorry if you missed me, but it was another one of those days where I figured If you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all.
More to the point, I’ve been feeling worn down by the long string of days with temperatures over 90 degrees out there. I’ve got a lot of things I want to do outside, but I have to take them slowly, since I get overheated and stupid if I stay out there too long working. Which wears me down, because I’m not getting the little satisfactions that come from finishing the projects I start. Add in the fact that I think I’ve got a summertime cold, and I end up with days like yesterday, where my big accomplishment for the day was … Well, I can’t think of one.
- Well, drat. Shuttle launch called off due to “anomaly”. I guess it’s better than losing another shuttle, but it’s still disappointing. More from NASA. [instapundit]
- The Minnesota State Capitol lost power for an hour yesterday. Dean Johnson pointed out that
… now the Legislature is operating in the dark.
Yeah. That’s a new development with them. But the power outage kept them from making any decision on new taxes for a few hours. Which seems fitting, since the state just announced they have 6 million more than expected, mostly from individual income tax collections. In the end, they persevered though, and the budget passed, and new taxes have been levied. Thanks Tim! Let’s hope that the results of your breaking your promise are as good as those seen by George H. W. Bush! [strib] - In another depressing development, Junk faxes have a pal in D.C., and his name is “W”. At this point, I can’t think of a single incumbent I plan to vote for next time around. I’m disgusted with the whole lot of ’em. [flutterby]
- From Texas, Ted Nugent sounds off, mentioning, among other things, that he might run for Governor of Michigan. [fark!]
- On a lighter note, my friend Aaron runs The Daily Plug, which keeps track of the items plugged on The Daily Show every day. Useful if you’re wondering what that book or album was.
- Some mornings, Dr. Fun just hits too close to home.
- A guy who started out at 6′1″ and 400 pounds is Walking Off the Fat, Across the Land. His website is here, but is down for the moment. There are mirrors. Sounds like a hell of a way to get your head together, and to, as Jeff put it,
possibly shed his flesh-parka.
[WVSR] - The general purpose of Morgan Spurlock Watch is to counter the silly hysteria perpetuated by Morgan Spurlock. Well, there it is, then. [flutterby]
