Leon says they're full of easter bunny sperm... but i don't care. Cadbury Cream Eggs are one of the greatest things ever. They're so wonderful that their creamy innards and chocolate shell almost make up for 2000 years of lies, oppression, war, ignorance and endless faith based fairy tales. The caramel variety is pretty delicious but not quite up to snuff with the old classic CCE. I find myself looking forward to Easter, certainly an out of character thing for this author. When you stop and think about it there are few things in this messed up world that bring so much tasty pleasure for a mere 50 cents. So thank jesus, thank you for bringing the world Cadbury Cream Eggs.

A minor storm left us without power from Friday to Tuesday night. One of the first outages and one of the last restored. I'm seriously starting to dislike the idea of a publicly traded utility monopoly. This was the third major multi-day outage the St. Louis area has had in the last six months. Unfortunately we can't just go out and choose a more competent power company. Third world living at a first world price.
Thanks to M&L for letting us crash at their place, Dad for stashing the turtles as the temp in the house approached 40F and Rob for driving by there a few times a day to see if we had power or not.
Hopefully our adventures in third world utility service are over for the time being.
Time to acquire a generator…

December 25th...no longer the day of christ's birth, but the day The Funk died.

It really sucks to be our friends in Denver...

Opel, you were a good turtle
Topping off a long week of ridiculous events: Our very old female Diamondback Terrapin, Opel, died Saturday in her sleep. She was a very casual, laid back old lady and will be missed.

32 was a crummy age to be, it's really been a bad year all the way around...not much good came from any of it.
here‘s to 33, may you suck so much less than 32!
Insane old man Donald Rumsfeld is unemployed!!!
it's 70F, sunny and the fundamentalist nut jobs have lost their power...
I'm not sure how this could be a better Wednesday at this point.
maybe if Rummy, Cheney, Bush I/II were hanging with this guy?

Looks like the Dems took the House and the Senate (Virgina and Montana slightly outstanding). Missouri voted for science for a change despite endless deceptive adds by fundamentalist whack jobs. My faith in American democracy is restored, ever so slightly.
It‘s unfortunate we had to go so far down the rabbit hole to get here, so I‘ll say only this:
come on guys, don't f*ck this up...
