Fighting to stay awake this afternoon in spite of having put down too much
caffeinated pop already.  Down to clock watching and surfing fark.com to kill
the rest of the afternoon.  Still waiting on a coworker to get his test update
implemented so we can work towards a solution on the customer problem. 

Starting to see what sort of computer I can buy at a reasonable price for home
use.  If that happens, you'll be seeing a lot more of me in the evenings here
on Bat.  Not sure if this is a Good Thing (tm), but what the hell.  

Weekend plans are going to heavily depend on the weather.  Talking rain
chances tomorrow, which is not good news.  I wanted to work outside all
weekend getting closer to the end of the wood splitting job.  I just hope the
rain holds off till the late afternoon so I can get one good day in.  That way
I can lay around Sunday in pain instead.  Also, got my W-2 form in the mail
this weekend, so I'll be working on the taxes.  Here's to hoping I get a nice
return!

Chatting with Boot today about politics and it made me realize just how
cynical I must sound about our political system here in the US.  Not only have
I stopped caring, but it is now to the point that I'm amazed when anything
truly altruistic occurs due to govt. involvement.  For every govt. decision
made, I try to figure how out some corporation or person is going to profit
that influenced the outcome.  I feel bad for Boot, for she wants to fix the
system and make it work the way it was intended.  And it is frustrating to her
that she has to overcome corruption on one side, and cynics like myself if
anything is to happen.  I feel she is taking on the "impossible dream" of Don
Quioxte (sp?).  Tilt a windmill for me! 8)
