Weather and Star Trek geekness

I sit beside a window that faces east when computing most of the time. Right now something rare is going on outside this window. It's snowing. Too warm to stick and accumulation in this area is rare. Be nice if we'd get snowed in a coupla' time a year. Snowed more often when I was a child. So peaceful and things slow down. Like, Robert Frost coming to the South staying for a few hours, stopping here...

Lord knows one doesn't need to venture out on the highways and biways when the weather is inclimate. Drivers are bad enough in this area when it's dry. Wish to God Mississippi would adopt a 'bear to right' law. Nothing more frustrating than to hit the left lane in a hurry and there's Grandma and Grandpa Moses out doing the tourist thing at 27 miles per hour. Many years ago I gave up speed; blood pressure and tickets weren't making it for me. Anyway, have to get out today because of work, but the snow will be gone and the looney tunes drivers will rip up and down the roads. Elmer Fudd comes to mind, "Beee vewy carefulll."

Star Trek Enterprise was very good last night. This is the third season and they have not been the best incarnation so far. I didn't watch Voyager until 7 of 9 showed up which makes me part of the general consensus. TNG is still the best since the original and DS9 wasn't shabby. Enterprise is picking up the tempo. Now they just need to visit some of those strange new worlds and have some 'off ship' adventures. Jolene Blalock is a definite hotty. She plays a Vulcan and that whole concept rocks me. Check you local listings.

Must drink more coffee and get ready to work for a few hours. I've seen the Cheat's gold tooth. Live long and prosper.

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind
Thou art not so unkind,
As man's ingratitude."

-William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
