Senor Boogey Man May Be Lurking

Tomorrow is May the 15th, thank the Good Lord. Finally the emails about the gasoline boycott will stop for a few months. This has been going on for years. Please go to Snopes.com and read about this old, worn out urban legend. While you're there check the article about that Venezuelan mule's ass Chavez and the CITGO connection. Beach house stance? If gas is needed tomorrow it will be purchased as long as they don't ask for a child, limb, soul or one of my characters in Guild Wars.

Gas prices are ridiculous. It's very likely that gasoline won't be purchased at a CITGO, even though I really like their local convenience store; very clean and employees are cheerful. Cheerful retail work force people are so rare. If you don't believe this go to the local Cingular store by Sam's Club and see the circus of hateful gnashing creeps. Satan lives there part time and she's not happy. Most of the other time she spends at tech help COMCAST in Huntsville, Alabama.

Throughout the day power management tests will be run on the beach house web server. There may be short down times and all this should end before the sun goes down. Hey, just trying to conserve energy...and money. This is an ongoing effort to improve service and we are geeks you know. Tinkering is our greatest obsession in the search for 'more power, grunt, grunt'.

Monday does not worry me this morning. It actually started Friday. In the powerful words of that Texas philosopher Ed Coffin, "Have a better than expected day."

"The obscure we see eventually. The completely obvious, it seems, takes longer."
