Merry Christmas!
As a side note, I was helping my nieces get the packaging off of some of the outrageous bounty they received today, and I'm just sayin' that whomever comes up with all the little ties, tape, bands, etc to keep the toys in the packaging: total sadists! It shouldn't require a pair of diagonal pliers, a knife, a screwdriver, and about 10 minutes to extract a small doll.
Reminded me of unpacking a pair of Hulk Hands for someone a few years ago. And that memory made me feel a tremendous sense of loss for a bit.
Anyway, Merry Christmas! And, get off the Internet for the rest of the day! Go spend time with the people you love, while you still have them.

The Dark Knight
Watched that for about the 3rd time tonight, and was just really enjoying it. Batman, Harvey Dent, and the Joker are all on the same side. They just have different, conflicting methods, and their ultimate goals conflict a bit...
Awesomeness!
Awesomeness!

Ice storm
Today we had a heatwave of 35 degrees. This is the first day since I think Friday that we've been above freezing. The above freezing temps lasted about 30 minutes today, and then it started snowing. Then the snow turned into sleet.
About 6:30 PM, I left to go frequent a reasonably close BBQ joint for a pound of brisket for supper. But when I got out on the roads, it was the fucking Ice Capades.
The sleet turned the roads into a mess. Now, that wouldn't normally stop me. But, I hit the first S curve out of my opulent sub-division, and when I hit the brakes the back end of my SUV started sliding around. I did a momentary WTF, got off the brakes and counter steered, then went "Oh, ice, ok." then soldiered on. About half a mile further down the road, a work truck with a trailer was jack-knifed across the road, completely blocking it.
I was betwixt and between at that point. I decided BBQ could wait until later in the week. And that I had a freezer full of other stuff I could eat, and that getting out on the open roads with all these fine folks who can't drive on ice or snow was a bad idea, so I turned back to the house.
As I drove back home, I did icy power slides through the S curve, just as a sort of protest.
I wanted BBQ for supper, damnit!
