I love detergent.
It gets my clothes really clean.
All hail detergent.

Is it just me or has the advent of the internet made both the notion of, and the conversation about, porn more acceptable in polite company? It seems to me like porn has crossed into the mainstream. No, its not on regular cable, but the stigma that used to go with it, has disappeared. Anyone will, and like has, mentioned it in a conversation that had nothing to do with salaciousness. Porn seems to be just off the periphery of everyone's vision.
And I don't really think that's bad. Nothing is inherently bad. All of those classifications are human constructs. Its harmless, in and of itself. If you have a weak personality, then it is a significant problem.
Gotta go. Watching the Playboy Channel.

Who's bright idea was it that, every cute young girl who is on television, or is a blossoming star in movies, should also become a singer?
As well, who decided that every girl from the same subset as above, who has at least a modestly successful music career, should obviously branch out and into movie roles?
Singers should be singers. Actors should be actors. Celebrities should sit quietly in the corner until there is a movie opening, or some kind of awards show party that needs photogenic people. Do what you do best, and only do that. If you SUCK, stand quietly, let them take pictures, and stop bothering the rest of us with your lack of talent.

Tonight is the championship hockey game for the next, foreseeable future. Tomorrow the NHL falls in on itself, similar to the Las Vegas casino that is collapsed, to make way for the new.
I am excited about the World Cup game tonight. I have faith in our Canadian team. This is in direct opposition to the Riders, who I no longer have any faith in. Finland has the hottest goalie around right now, but that alone, I don't think, is enough to stop Canada. Brodeur is the best goalie in hockey, even if Kiprusoff is the current bright star. I think we will win.
What I don't think we can win is the NHL labour crisis. And I put the blame for this on the shoulders of the NHLPA. The economics for their argument don't make sense. I would further suggest that you don't have to examine any books to come to that conclusion. When the arenas aren't full for every game, and the CBC is your main source of television revenue, you can't pay million dollar salaries to every player, and superstar money to grinders that have more more penalities than goals.
I think the answer to the NHL labor crisis can be distilled into one question. The answer to the question will illuminate who needs to make the concessions necessary to see hockey played this year, or any year to follow.
Does anyone think the players deserve to keep recieving salaries that are bankrupting the league?

The Blogger Guessing Game!!!
Game time folks. We have a unique situation that is ripe for a guessing game. Here's the challenge.
A unique situation has just occurred in my cumulative appraisal of the number of liters of gas I have purchased so far in 2004. The total is a perfect multiple of 100 and 7. How many liters of gas have I purchased?
One entry per person. No asking Kevin, because I already told him the answer. Anyone that gets the question right will get a sum equal to my number of liters divided by one hundred.
Let the games begin!!

I have solved the mystery of Watson's poor radio reception.
Many of you have heard me complain about this situation before. And it always seemed so illogical. However, having done a critical examination, its not so strange that radio reception would die so quickly.
I turned my GPS to the, GPS Info page, as I came from Humboldt, to Watson, on the last leg of the trip. I turned it on between Muenster and Saint Gregor. As I came to the west 'Saint Gregor - 1' sign, my GPS said I was at an altitude of 588 meters above sea level. From this point until Watson, is 22 kilometers, if memory serves.
It went down mostly, and up very little. As I passed through Englefeld I was still about 560 meters. From there, in to Watson, the elevation dropped until I was at 548 as I parked my truck in the front of the office. 40 meters of elevation lost in 20-ish kilometers. It is no wonder I can't get anything buy CJVR.
Toodles!
