HOLY CARP!!!

I was supposed to be in Sarnia (2 hours away) to teach my Core kids at 8:30 this morning. Since they were predicting snow, I got up at 5, planning to leave the house at 6. Checked the school bus site - all buses running. Looked out the window - it looks awful. Hopped in the shower, got ready, and came back to my computer just to do one last minute refresh on the school bus site before I left. All buses canceled. So I'm completely dressed and ready for my day, and I have an hour before I have to start making phone calls to let the students know. Couldn't they have done it at 5 so I could have gone back to bed? Ah well. |

We've still got snow on the ground here, but I think we're done. Major fog the last couple of days, though. If I have to listen to that fog horn much longer, I'm gonna get my shotgun and blast it. Oh wait, I don't have a gun. Maybe I'll just go throw hard crunchy snowballs at it. |

Civilisation, I vaguely realized then - and subsequent observation has confirmed the view - could not progress that way. It must have a greater guiding principle to survive. To treat it as a carcase off which each man tears as much as he can for himself, is to stand convicted a brute, fit for nothing better than a jungle existence, which is a death-struggle, leading nowhither. I did not believe that was the human destiny, for Man individually was sane and reasonable, only collectively a fool. I hope the gunner of that Hun two-seater shot him clean, bullet to heart, and that his plane, on fire, fell like a meteor through the sky he loved. Since he had to end, I hope he ended so. But, oh, the waste! The loss! - Cecil Lewis | |

No but prostituting my political beliefs for personal security should be more than enough, comrade.

You, chicks who sell their virginity, and anti-Semitic forum threads are the ENTIRE reason this country is going to HELL in a handbasket. Let me remind you of what makes this country great:
