Stuff to share this morning...

RIP Michael Crichton. Forever immortalized by Jurrasic Park and other classics. I loved Jurrasic Park, the whole idea of it was brilliant...
John Hammond: All major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked!
Dr. Ian Malcolm: But, John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

Hurricane season isn't over yet! Tropical Storm Paloma has formed.

Oh my goodness, look what's on YouTube... *giggles*

Two awesome women who voted for Obama: One is 106 and has seen just about everything and the other is 92 and wasn't going to let a stroke get in the way of voting.

Remember all the hoopla about Sarah Palin and the 150k wardrobe? Check this out. "One aide estimated that she spent "tens of thousands" more than the reported $150,000, and that $20,000 to $40,000 went to buy clothes for her husband. Some articles of clothing have apparently been lost. An angry aide characterized the shopping spree as "Wasilla hillbillies looting Neiman Marcus from coast to coast," and said the truth will eventually come out when the Republican Party audits its books."

He just won't stop. *sigh* My father sent me yet another email yesterday saying that even though Presidential-elect Barack Obama says he's a Christian, he really isn't according to a bunch of scripture he then quoted. I spent way too much time writing a rebuttal about religion, scripture translations, and how can you tell fact from opinion. He replied last night and said he didn't have time to answer me because I went off on too many tangents. AARRGGHH!!! *bangs head on keyboard*

Spoke to Mom this morning and told her to make up a Thanksgiving menu and divvy it up in half so we can contribute more food than she usually lets us. Poor sDad hasn't had a paycheck all month due to the crappy economy (and his crappy boss) and it's not fair for them to spend all that money on Thanksgiving when we can help out.
