Advanced Degree Not Required

I saw this sign on the way home tonight:

"Now Hireing. Servers Wanted."

How True

Bad habits develop naturally, while virtue, if obtained at all, is slow, hard work. - William Wilberforce.

Huh?

So I was driving home last night and I noticed this bumper sticker:

Evolution is just a theory,
. . . kind of like gravity!

Um, gravity is a law not a theory. I guess there is some argument around the precise meanings of theory and law and the difference between them and whether or not they represent a hierarchy. If those in the field of science could clarify and help me understand the difference better I would appreciate it.

But this still seems like an odd thing to put on a bumper sticker. And really, can we stop shouting at each other and claiming "the other side", whichever it may be on any given argument, are all stupid with bumper stickers? They tend to aggravate and annoy rather than inform and persuade.

Odometer

Odometer reading of the day: 111111.

Keep going little Saturn. Apparently you're the only new one I'll ever own.

It's Not Something I'm Proud Of

But Steve + Pet Fish + House Plant =

I'm Still A Guy

My latest iTunes purchase is Brad Paisely's I'm Still A Guy:



And I’ll pour out my heart
Hold your hand in the car
Write a love song that makes you cry
Then turn right around
Knock some jerk to the ground
‘Cause he copped a feel as you walked by

These days there’s dudes getting facials
Manicured waxed and botoxed
But with deep spray on tans and creamy lotioney hands
You can’t grip a tackle box
With all of these men lining up to get neutered
It’s hip now to be feminized
I don’t highlight my hair
I’ve still got a pair
Yeah, honey I’m still a guy

My eyebrows ain’t plucked
There's a gun in my truck
Thank God I’m still a guy

In Like A Lion

So, I just heard on the radio that we're supposed to get 8-14 inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow. I could get excited about that if only work were canceled, which it probably won't be.

This has felt like such a long winter.
