View From the Bushes

As potentiallyred pointed out, yes, I have sort of switched to using "Illegitimi Non Carborundum" whenever I'm having a taxing day. I don't know if I'll continue to do that, but it's a neat little switch. For those unfamiliar with this faux Latin phrase, it basically means, "Don't let the bastards wear/grind you down." Good advice for us all.

The plan yesterday was to arrive home, have my friend pick me up and immediately go and get the car. My friend was running late so I decided to shovel the driveway (it had snowed about 2-3 inches). That turned out to be a mistake. It was so late in the day that the little bit of water/slush that was left after I shoveled immediately formed into a sheet of very thin, but very slick ice which coated the entire driveway. Luckily no one was injured, but I think the lesson is clear. Don't bother shoveling snow -- it's a waste of time and you may just make things worse.

Well, I have a lot to do this weekend and a big deadline on Monday, so I'll end here, but not before I provide a link to the 25 funniest political quotes of 2004. I particularly like #1.
