Hmm. I wonder what you would use that as an excuse for?
It’s another bright and sunny day here. Supposed to get up to 67. Works for me! Tonight’s thunderstorms, however, I could do without. But it’s supposed to be sunny and warm again by Monday.
There is absolutely nothing on today except horse racing this afternoon on USA (why USA, I have no idea). So I’ll be catching up on stuff tonight. And working on family history.
Worked some more on The Book That Will Not End last night.
Reading: Still reading Fer-de-Lance by Rex Stout. It doesn’t look like a very long book but the print is really small.
Or as I have decided to call it, Daylight Stupid Time. And it’s a good excuse, too!
As most of you probably have heard, actor Peter Graves passed away yesterday at the age of 83. He apparently had a heart attack. He is best known for playing Jim Phelps on the TV show Mission Impossible.
I got a huge surprise in today’s mail. A refund check from a company I used to get my insulin pump supplies from. Apparently, I overpaid them. I’ll probably use it to buy a new desk chair and floor mat because mine are both wearing out.
Here’s something that’ll blow your mind. According to scientists, the Chilean earthquake last month moved the city of Concepcion at least 10 feet to the west! And it wasn’t the only city to get shifted that much.
I think Daylight Savings Time is one of the most annoying things on the face of the planet. It doesn’t save anything. It certainly doesn’t save daylight. It just moves it around. And Congress claiming their expansion of DST is to save electricity by extending the afternoon/evening daylight? Guess what, that’s the stupidest argument I’ve ever heard!!! It’s certainly never saved any electricity at our house! Arizona and Hawaii are the only states that now don’t deal with this foolishness. And I wish I lived in one place or the other so I didn’t have to deal with it either!
Ahem. Anyway. I’ve been listening to podcasts this morning about the Law of Attraction. I know a lot of people who swear by this so I’ve decided to give it a whirl. If I can figure out what the heck I’m doing.
Spent most of the day yesterday working on family history. Found a bunch of duplicates which I merged together. Also deleted a bunch of people who didn’t connect to my lines. Not sure how they even ended up in my database. Unless I’d deleted the connection earlier after determining they weren’t really related to me after all. I’ll be doing more of the same this afternoon/evening.
Unbelievably, Rachel Alexandra got beat yesterday in her race. Not by much, granted, and she hasn’t run in weeks, so maybe it’s not too surprising. Last night I finally watched the first episode of the Brit show Survivors. Wow. Intense. The basic premise is a super virus spreads around the world and kills off more than 90% of the world’s population. Now the survivors have to learn how to, um, survive without modern conveniences like electricity, cell phones, running water, etc.
