Off to Arizona

Well, I'm off to Yuma, Arizona tomorrow. Yuma, for those that are interested, is an ancient Native American term variously translated as "Surface of the Sun", "Infernal Burning Wasteland of Death", or "Inhospitable and Uninhabitable Furnace from Hell, where no one in their Right Mind would Settle by Choice".

More crap will be spewed here when I return...

Time to move on?

Bizarre item in the news:

Wachovia steps forward and apologizes that two of it's predecessor banks, now long defunct, owned slaves. Over 100 frigging years ago. For God's sake, there isn't a soul alive today that either was a slave or owned a slave in the United States - or ever had an account at one of those ancient banks. Get over it already.
