Just want to say, I hate Microsoft and it's buggy assed piece of shit software. I can not wait for the day that there is actual competition in that field, which will produce some quality software.
Great. As if I needed the reminder:
If you were born before 1985, then you are old!
Well, this is interesting. From the Weather Channel, conditions in Frisco:
Fair
109 Degrees F
Feels like 108 Degrees F
Huh? The actual temp is higher than the feels like temp?
I'm reading an article that says the airlines are in a fare war. I pull up a browser to see what sort of fares there are, and I get this for a flight Dallas-NY:
Continental Airlines 1130 1 stop
Depart: 8:15am Dallas/Fort Worth, TX (DFW) Boeing 737
Arrive: 12:40pm Newark, NJ (EWR)
Connect to train. Time for connection: 2hr 14min
Continental Airlines 9469
operated by AMTRAK TRAIN 176
Depart: 2:54pm Newark, NJ (EWR) Train
Arrive: 4:18pm Westchester County, NY (ZTF)
When did taking a train constitute a flight?
And, seriously, why would anyone want to take that option (at a total trip of 8 hours) when for $5 more, they can use the same carrier and take a plane for both legs at a total trip time of 4 hours??
Needless to say, I saw no evidence of lower fares on any of the city pairs.
Irony?
This morning, I read an article about the gathering in Dallas to discuss the national Amber program. On my way home for lunch, the radio broadcast was interrupted with an Amber alert.
Wow! Imagine my surprise while taking advantage of the tax free weekend. Instead of the 102 that was predicted, it's rather windy and cold. Seems that cold front that wasn't supposed to go south did. Temp reading on my car from 2-3pm went from 84 down to 79. Now, usually at that time it is way into the 90s, and we don't see 79 until maybe 2am.
I got some shirts to wear for work. They'll replace the ones that are starting to get a bit tight on me. I'm not built like I was 6-7 years ago. Gah, I wish I could revert to the jeans and t-shirt routine for work. But, guess I need to settle on getting away with wearing jeans...
