It's a Series of Tubes

Senator Ted Stevens describes the internet as a "series of tubes."



I guess it wouldn't be so bad, except that Senator Stevens is chairman of the Senate commerce committee which regulates Internet commerce...

Country Wood Circle

Am I alone in this or does that street name sound odd? Oksana and I are going into a new apartment in August. We had previously chosen one on a street named Stones River Cove, which I think sounds nice. That apartment is no longer available, so we have been bumped to a slightly larger apartment with a much crappier view. I just don't know if "Country Wood" sounds like something I want to write often. Maybe I'm uncomfortable with the first syllable of "country" be so closely juxtaposed with the word "wood."

Comments anyone?

I Remember When This Blog was a Happenin' Place

But those days seem to have passed. Someone say something controversial. Then someone else can say something equally controversial in response. Then we can fight about it. Anybody?

Small Apartment Building blows up in New York... Trains get bombed in India... Isreal more or less invades Lebanon (the country not the city in Wilson County)...

Anything?

Personally, I'm wondering about this Isreali military action. I know they fight alot in the middle east, even quasi-invading each other from time to time. But this seems kinda big-scale to me. If Isreal picks a fight with Lebanon, and all the other Arab States pick a fight with Isreal... then we're royally screwed.
