try something new
whenever I was a kid and I told my mom I was bored she would say "why don't you call your friends? why don't you read a book? why don't you go outside? " and of course the answer was that I didn't WANT to do any of those things. but now I am older and I am bored and I would gladly do any of those things but I can't because I am "working". so I thought I would try this.
If you can't skin em, shoot em.
I live in Wisconsin. In this fine state, we are currently debating a potential law legalizing cat hunting. yep. cats. not housecats, feral cats. Apparently there are a lot of them in the countryside and they kill lots of birds and are generally a menace and people want to be allowed to shoot em. I find it interesting that people who would be interested in shooting cats actually care whether or not it is legal.
This has been in the news for many days. And since now we have 24 hour news channels and endless news websites all looking for something to talk about, people will find out about this. Now, since I moved here I have discovered that Wisconsin is the random state of choice. In movies, TV, etc whenever they want to use an out there state they use Wisconsin. So this whole cat hunting this is probably not going to help our reputation. My uncle recently sent me a police blotter from the Turks & Caicos which told about a man from Wisconsin who had been arrested for having sex with someone else's cows. Outstanding. This is what people in other countries know about Wisconsin. Perhaps it's time to move.
Spamming is bad
I just received a very strange email offering the ability to make free phone calls from some office in Malaysia. Given the previous paragraph, you will know that this is not a particularly useful service for me. However, at the end of the message it said (and I quote)

Obviously they have send to wrong person. But they are right. Spamming is bad.
