Runner up again! Is Mark Martin ever going to win the Winston Cup?

I think I can say, with a pretty high degree of confidence, about 90% or more, that I won't name my first child "Clabie."

It's pretty sad when you go into a Blockbuster and can't find a single video about the Lone Ranger. Luckily for me, there is ebay.

We (the U.S.) said yesterday that Iraq's firing on coalition (U.S. and British) aircraft is a violation of the new U.N. Resolution. This morning, Kofi Annan (of the U.N.) said it is not a violation. Doesn't this seem like a simple thing to determine? Firing on patrol aircraft sounds like a violation of something. However, it is probably a violation of past resolutions, not the new one. Unless the new one supercedes the old ones.

But, are we doing the same old patrols to make sure they aren't flying in the "No-Fly" zone. Isn't that what we're supposed to be looking for? If we (the U.S.) are bombing targets (softening their air defenses up for an attack) then that ain't really patrolling the zone is it?

Who ever said politics was easy? Actually I don't think anyone ever said it. I guess this is why.

It's raining and I am a couple of hours away from embarking on another rainy plane flight. At least this plane will be able to fly above the clouds, unlike the puddle jumper I was on last Sunday. Isn't it amazing how much trust we place in a pilot's hands? You hope and hope they are not drunk for once.
