In recent debates concerning a new energy bill in Congress, southeastern legislators argued against provisions requiring a certain percentage of electricity come from renewable resources by a future date.
What was their objection? If I recall, part of their objection was that there are fewer renewable resources in the southeastern U.S., compared to other regions.
Maybe someone should have asked…
There’s a Judge in this Judicial Circuit I think might be a few bricks shy of a wall (the ones on the bottom… that make it stable). I can’t tell you why due to agency policy about discussing work in public forums. It says I can’t.
But imagine my surprise when I looked at the original order of comitment for my mother (when she was shipped off to the state hospital) and saw a…
The new headache script is a caffeine/acetaminophen/barbiturate cocktail. While it’s not perfect, it seems to round off the sharp edges. However, knowing it’s got caffeine in it, and having taken one this morning (when I woke up with the warning signs of a long day), I’m beginning to wonder if it was wise to drink coffee too.
Can you say: “Up-up and away?”
I…
I’m not a big gamer, but I’m also not a big fan of Microsoft (which I think is akin to being a Yankees fan, or rooting for the wolf in fairy tales… “Hasta la vista RED… Muah ha haa!”) However, even I was a bit surprised by this article from Macworld:
A new report from independent warranty provider SquareTrade has found that the failure rate of an Xbox 360 is not…
It may not be a good time to move to the southwest.
Lake Mead Could Be Within a Few Years of Going Dry, Study Finds – New York Times:
Lake Mead, the vast reservoir for the Colorado River water that sustains the fast-growing cities of Phoenix and Las Vegas, could lose water faster than previously thought and run dry within 13 years, according to a new study by scientists at the Scripps…
You don’t need to come here to find out how Obama did in the Potomac Primaries today, you’ve probably heard it elsewhere by now. However, since I shared my worry with you all yesterday I felt like I needed to share some of my (tentative) relief.
I wasn’t so surprised Obama won, but I suspect I’m not alone in my surprise of how he won. I don’t remember hearing that he…
Friends, I come before you (figuratively speaking) to share my fears.
I’m afraid 2004 will repeat itself.
Before I get to the specific fear, let me lay out a little history for you. The first presidential election I was eligible to participate in was the 1992 election. What a time to be a registered Democrat, eh? Although the Democratic hegemony in the Florida Legislature was coming to a…
It’s too friggin hot! For crying out loud, it’s February. We should have had at least one good freeze, even on the coast. I think we had one night where they were worried they might have to ice down the strawberries in Plant City, but I don’t think it happened.
Why am I griping now? I just looked up the weather for the week, and discovered that tonight is supposed to be our…
