Some thoughts
Mostly too short for a single entry...
Shopping
A the store today I finally saw ________ on sale. Not exactly what I was looking for, but he closest thing I've seen in months. I've continually kept an eye open for this item whenever I walk through a store. So I buy a pair of ________. The very next store I go to, they have an even better pair that are sold for only $1 more as their regular price - sigh... By the way, ________ could be just about anything, but in this case are sawhorses.
From WMD to Yelling
Poor old Saddam has really fallen on hard times lately. From almost ending the world with WMDs to:
[Yahoo News] On Thursday, the first witness, a 57-year-old Kurdish farmer, testified that Saddam aggressively told him to "shut up" when he pleaded for the release of nine relatives who disappeared in an offensive on his northern Iraqi village nearly two decades ago.
Security??
It's nice to know we are being protected from death by handwritten manuscript. I don't know about you, but hasn't this stuff gone too far?
[BBC News]American airport staff almost stopped Harry Potter author JK Rowling boarding a flight because she would not part with the manuscript for the final book.
Just a little funny
No big deal here, but while I was shopping at Lowes building supply, I watched "a little ol' lady" shopping for a table saw. She was probably in her 70s and was wanting to build bird houses. I know there's nothing wrong with this and more power to her, but I'm still trying to imagine that little grey-haired lady bending over a screaming table saw making little bird houses.
