SHADES OF "THE ABYSS"
What if the massive sandstorm affecting Kuwait right now is the work of peace-loving extraterrestrials? What if they have been waiting for the prime opportunity to reveal themselves and have realized that showing themselves right now, when the US is on the brink of war, is the only thing that will avert the war. What if that happened? It would usher in a new era for civilization, history, etc. and make us forget about our petty squabbles. As I ponder that scenario I also can't help but wonder what them aliens might taste like? If its chicken I will just flip out!
I'm an average joe, my family comes first while I try to make a difference in the world. This blog is part journal, part advice, and part compendium! Enjoy!

DID YOU KNOW?
Sixty-seven percent of Americans eat everything on their plates, no matter how much is on it.
-American Institute for Cancer Research
WAR PREPARATIONS UPDATE
The US continues to try and build diplomatic backing for the upcoming war for peace. Yesterday, France rejected a proposal floated by the British even before the Iraqis rejected it. The latest prediction is that the official war will start on the 17th or a week later. On a comical note, the US "Human Shields" who went to Baghdad came home. It turns out that the Iraqis wanted to place them at military installations. The "Shields" thought they could hang out at hospitals or apartment buildings. So let that be a lesson to you....always read the fine print on job applications!

I was working diligently at my cube desk (I work in Dilbert Hell.) A couple of people were waiting for somebody just outside my cube. They noticed a site location plot I have up on my wall. They were discussing how great it would be if they had one. I pretended to ignore them. When they couldn't resist any longer they interrupted me to ask if they could get a copy of my plot. I responded "Who are you people?" Being blunt is great and it certainly takes people by surprise but I don't think it has the effect I want it to. I want people to realize how rude it is not to introduce themselves and explain why they want something before just coming out and asking for it. Especially proprietary information. It turns out they are with a maintenance company that is going to be bidding on a contract with Verizon. I told them no way they are going to get a copy of my map.

THOUGHT OF THE DAY
In this world of high speed internet, high resolution videos, and mobile blogging, How come security camera videos still look so horrible? Everytime they show security video from a bank or convenience store robbery I can barely make out the outlines of the people through all the grainy static. What is the deal?

LIFE IN CHARLOTTE
I know Charlotte is a small town. But I just passed a traffic accident at the intersection of Providence Road and Eastover Road and the Mayor (Pat McCrory) was helping out. I didn't realize the budget cuts were so deep!
I drove in yesterday from Nashville. I got here at 10:30 pm after leaving at 2:23 pm local time. I actually saw the sun over Knoxville, TN. I think the last time I saw the sun in the last few months was either in a movie or history book.
I am very upset with whichever Armstrong is responsible for their "trial separation." The story is that Lance's triumph over cancer and his TdF victories were with Kristin's help. Where have our heroes gone?
