83° F = 28.3° C There are still people out there who deny global warming.

Casino Royale
I bought this on Wednesday. I sat up late watching it on Wednesday night/Thursday morning. I recommend it very highly. It is my favorite film of 2006.

St. Patricks
Well Ashley found a 4-leaf clover yesterday. Now the "good luck", that is yet to be found. Daniella is going through a terrible phase where she whines and cries for hours at a time. She is sweet when she wants to be. Like tonight. She was awful all the way home and also when I was trying to give her a bath. But after that all it took was her picking out her drink and she stopped crying and whining immediately. She was perfect when I read her her bedtime story. And also laying down.
The "terrible twos" are beyond terrible.

Ruined
We ordered a mattress topper that comprised of Memory foam. This King size mattress topper was not only late, but it was also lost, and now on arrival, damaged. I refused to accept it from DHL and so DHL is going to take it back to the sender (the vendor) and then we will see about getting it replaced at DHL's expense. Note that I took this before refusing so you can see DHL guy's legs.
Needs to be paid
I was caught driving in the HOV lane at around 10 minutes past 4pm. I dont mind paying the ticket but the officer's attitude and demeanor was totally uncalled for -in other words, he was a complete and total dick.

Paranoid
Well it looks like there may no longer be a need to be paranoid anymore. On top of the statistical backbone of your chances of dying in a hijacked plane, or even a plane crash for that matter (you are 500 times more likely to die in a car wreck) - Along comes science and technology to save us again.
New autopilot will make another 9/11 impossible
So you may still be killed in a plane bomb brought on board (very unlikely). But also bear this in mind. There are more people who take public transportation in America than there are who fly on planes. So if a terrorist wanted to create maximum effect, he would probably attack the public there.
New autopilot will make another 9/11 impossible
A hijack-proof piloting system for airliners is being developed to prevent terrorists repeating the 9/11 outrages.
The mechanism is designed to make it impossible to crash the aircraft into air or land targets - and enable the plane to be flown by remote control from the ground in the event of an emergency.
Scientists at aircraft giant Boeing are testing the tamper-proof autopilot system which uses state-of-the-art computer and satellite technology.
It will be activated by the pilot flicking a simple switch or by pressure sensors fitted to the cockpit door that will respond to any excessive force as terrorists try to break into the flight deck.
Once triggered, no one on board will be able to deactivate the system. Currently, all autopilots are manually switched on and off at the discretion of pilots.
The so-called 'uninterruptible autopilot system' - patented secretly by Boeing in the US last week - will connect ground controllers and security services with the aircraft using radio waves and global satellite positioning systems.
After it has been activated, the aircraft will be capable of remote digital control from the ground, enabling operators to fly it like a sophisticated model plane, manoeuvring it vertically and laterally.
So you may still be killed in a plane bomb brought on board (very unlikely). But also bear this in mind. There are more people who take public transportation in America than there are who fly on planes. So if a terrorist wanted to create maximum effect, he would probably attack the public there.

Bullshit
OK, we have this plan, we are going to tax you on money we have already taxed you on. Have a nice day.

I found the Flickr Member who has contributed to the Vista Backgrounds.
True Works of art. HD indeed.
