I don’t care what Napoleon said there is something to say for just going to bed and getting a solid 8 hours sleep. Might as well do it when I get a chance.

Smoke me a Kipper

Well today from Netflix the first cd from season 7 of Red Dwarf. It is an excellent choice for a Chinese home picnic.
Very simple instructions for said picnic:
- Clear the den floor
- Lay down a blanket
- Order from Dragon Express
- And eat it on the blanket with either a good movie or a fun TV series on the set.

I must confess I am a sucker for Ace Rimmer and any situation when Nazi’s are getting beaten up.
Global Warming my — Storm Thoughts

Some thoughts on the snow.
It kept the crew from coming to try out that talisman expansion, will have to do it this afternoon.
Figured with all the snow people might be shoveling and not calling into unemployment yet, I was right got through on the 2nd try!
Had to dig out to get Steve’s son to hockey this morning as he is staying with us this weekend. I don’t know how he and his wife manage all the events with 4 kids.
I noticed the long list of protestant churches and Jewish synagogues closed on the news. You never see a Catholic Church closed. Mass is always held but the faithful are advised not to risk life to get there. Since the priest usually lives in a rectory next door this isn’t a problem. Also in a city like mine the Church are neighborhood churches so many people can walk to mass. I don’t know how it is in more rural areas.
Notice when things seemed to be getting warmer everyone cried Global Warming, now since things are cold it is “Climate Change”.
Our city had budget problems before the market crashes, I can’t see how we are going to pay for our snow removal this year.
I’ll have more to say on that but I have shoveling to do. Read you in a few hours.
Game night roundup

Played a game called Descent Journey’s in the Dark last night. We didn’t finish as we started late (my fault) but it was better than I thought it would be. I would feel pretty good about recommending it to other gamers.
Then again for a price of $90 it oughta be good.
The subject of the Gaza operation came up. All agreed that Hamas are a bunch of bastards. My hesitation on the ground offensive wasn’t shared by anyone but 60% of the table criticized Israel for settlement activity on the west bank for giving Hamas an excuse. Barbara Lerner would take exception to that.
Speaking of gamers one of the guys saw The Gamers 2 recently and kept going on and on about it. It would have to be really funny to be better than the first one.
