11 Citation One of the joys of living in Greater Metropolitan Arab is the Arab Electric Cooperative. Whereas most electron providers are just that, AEC is an incarnation of coyote. The organization exists primarily for the purpose of providing random pleasure to someone, not the subscribers, by interrupting electron flow in a pseudo-random but optimally inconvenient time, like when you have to get dinner cooked for a large gathering. ( This incidentally is why burning foodstuffs on bottled gas grills is so, technorati.com

1 Citation Today has been a morning of irony. Thursdays are in many ways the best day of the week: the gym is as empty as it gets when I am there as those of decaying resolution roll over for a few minutes more sleep, or something; it is my last exercise day of the week, Fridays and Saturdays are overcrowded with those frantic that another week not get by without them doing something ?good?, and Sunday the gym is closed in persecution of those who are not observers of the local religious mysticism customs;, technorati.com

1 Citation I am a fan of the Kingston Trio, among other folk groups of that era. They perform a song, whose name escapes me, that is about the natural human condition of organizational rivalry. The clincher line is ?And I don?t like anyone very much!? One of the reasons I like folk music is because it is all about human matters and can point scientists to matters as yet unresearched. And, of course, I can understand most folk music, which is more than I can say for most other music of the era and later., technorati.com

1 Citation Tuesday is a good day at gym. I usually get my ?stride? back on Tuesday ? 13 Yankee miles today, bicycle and ergometer ? and I get to listen to science podcasts. Unfortunately today?s episodes were a bit flat except for the Sigma Xi contribution to ?The World? science podcast. From that I learned not to let bees sting the inside of my nose and that dark matter changes the mass of gravitational singularities. Now the former tidbit actually came from a vignette on elephants but I identify with, technorati.com

1 Citation I am in need of some cheer, and not the bottled kind. Yesterday was one of those days when I regret living in the Yankee republic. In particular, I refer to the irrational way that we have cellular telephone service in this country. It is bad enough that the service is so bad here in Greater Metropolitan Arab, even less than the internet service in some ways, but to have to purchase a new phone periodically because the cellular provider decides it doesn?t like your old phone, which satisfies you, technorati.com

1 Citation Monday is a relief in the sense that the gym is open again. One of the penalties of living in the hinterland is that the superstitious mystic fanatics coerce the politicians into making it illegal for all sorts of services and conveniences to be available on the christian sabbath. It?s that sort of chauvinistic majority (sorta) discrimination that is permitted by both law and tradition, the one of whoever is in charge gets to beat up on whoever isn?t and get away with claiming it is fair and leg, technorati.com

1 Citation I observe, courtesy of the Encyclopedia Britannica folks, which is somehow fitting, that today is the birthday anniversary of George number three of England. This is cause for celebration, after all were it not for this vapid tyrant we might not enjoy the independence we enjoy today. Of course, that independence is rapidly evaporating under the current progression of inept and dishonest government, but we are still = perhaps ? better off than most. government , tyranny , corr, technorati.com

1 Citation I have to agree with this one: Bachelor?s ceremony, Campus of the Black Warrior ? no idea, 1E4 people ? graduates, friends, parents crammed into a underdesigned field house with adequate air conditioning for maybe half that number. Many regrets filtering through my head: wearing suit under robes; attending ceremony at all (empty since Mother would have discorporated me on the spot if I had suggested); not staying at campus to go to graduate shul ; having to drive home in ?64 Co, technorati.com

1 Citation Earlier this week I ran across an article discussing a master?s degree for science akin to the MBA. At first I thought this was some type of sick joke but as I continued it became obvious that the sickness was not humorous but actual. My problem with this starts with the MBA. I have had to deal with a large number of people who have this degree. Almost all are thucks. That is, they have incompetence in equal measure with ambition and expectation of achievement and asentient adoration, technorati.com

1 Citation Thursday is hammer day. After all, it is named for that Scandinavian deity who settled his disagreements with a hammer. So much for negotiation? Or is it just a Teddy Roosevelt thing? Anyway, the gym was at its ebb this morning for occupancy during my regime, and few of the weight bouncing asentients were present, nor even many of the teacher taliban and their loud stridencies. The podcast today was the BBC?s ?In Our Time? and the episode was ?The Whale?, which started out with the ubiquitous, technorati.com
