2) Enough humidity to prevent your swamp cooler (essentially a drippy hose with a fan behind it-pushes the air as the water evaporates to cool you) from working
3) The Palo Verde Root Borer. One of my friends asked how much I'd give him if he "teabagged" one. I told him nothing, since I didn't... Read More
No real news today; sorry for the lack of posts. There's been a distinct lack of what is normally termed "Free Time" on my part.
My company is getting bought out by Roche, the Swiss pharmaceuticals giant. It's a hostile takeover. I'm not yet sure how this'll affect me, and I probably won't know for at least a few months. So, stay tuned, I guess.... Read More

Oh, and apparently, the software I bought to do my taxes didn't actually connect to the IRS to pay my taxes, even though they said they would. So I'm getting into the fun of tax return season.
Oh, and my old next-door neighbor (from back when I lived in Seattle) just got indicted for stealing from a casino. I'm not sure the details of the case, but I do know that someone's been tracking down his myspace friends. I got a message from a reporter regarding this,... Read More
