Right Here, Right Now 3.0

An Invonvenient Truth is coming to a theater near you.

And, who would have thunk it, Al Gore is funny. (Actually, his concession speech was pretty funny. "I called Governor Bush to congratulate him and promised I wouldn't be calling back...")

We would be so much better off if he'd been able to take office after winning the popular vote...

(All of this because of this link.)

I can date this picture because there's a wedding ring and Carrie went to Calvin. (I googled Carrie, she doesn't get any hits. How rare is that?)

There was a nice ceremony today at the SacState Aquatic Center.
Once again a couple of hours of people saying nice things about dad. This time nice things were said about others as well. I didn't mind sharing.

All the founders got lifetime passes to the center. Dad's goes to Mom. I want to see her out there kayaking...

Telegraph: "Angry economy passengers are said to have stormed the first-class cabin on an international flight from Pakistan to Britain."

If you click on a link in a Gmail message a new window is opened. The redirect is handled by a url that starts with wyciwyg://. I had noticed that before, but not noticed it. My guess is it stands for 'what you click is what you get"

Props to old family friend Lee Herman. Stop by and say hi and maybe he'll post more often. :-)

Molly turned 17 and went to the prom last month.

Dad's tombstone has Mom and Dad's name on the front and the four kid's names on the back. Mom told me today, via chat, that the tombstone was in place and the responsiblie parties had sent a picture to verify it.

I mentioned that 'it was good to know my name was on a tombstone'.

Mom pointed out that I don't have a year after my name.

There's a lot to not like about how the media covers us.  That was a key point in Michael Moore's Bowling for Columbine. But one thing we can't blame them for is exaggerating the bad news in Iraq. The WingNut wing wants to blame the media for our perception that Iraq isn't in the best shape.

Fortunately, our own government provides sufficient detail that we needn't rely on the media. PDF here. News article explaining it here.

You'll note that the only stable region is the Kurdish controlled areas. We gave them air cover for 10 years, pre-war, so that they could establish an autonomous region within Iraq.

Thanks to Rich (my favorite WN) for the link to ScrappleFace.
