I've have enough. I am at war with snow. Its me or the snow. One is going to break, and I swear it won't be me.
The snow, the snow, the snow has got to go!
The snow, the snow, the snow has got to go!
The snow, the snow, the snow has got to go!

I have to tell someone about this because it just pissed me off so much.
I left my computer on last night. I had a couple of songs queued up but they weren’t actively downloading, so I figured I’d leave the computer running and see if they came down overnight. I got up this morning and my computer had rebooted. Windows, in its infinite wisdom, had seen fit to grab a patch, install it, and then conveniently re-boot my computer. Because its so painfully obvious that I want to re-boot whenever Windows thinks its appropriate.
God do I hate that. I wish Windows was a person, so I could wrap my hands around its neck and throttle it. If my computer is on then its on for a reason. I don’t WANT to reboot every stupid time it does something. Install a program, download a patch, change a setting, these do NOT raise within me a spontaneous desire to reboot. I hate rebooting! I’ll do it when I want, not because Windows thinks it should be done.
In short, Windows sucks.

Not everyone will know where I'm talking about but bear with me. To come home I have to come south on Idylwyld. I turn off of this freeway at 51st Street to come home. Between where I enter Idylwyld and where I exit it, Highway 16 from North Battleford merges into traffic.
To exit at 51st Street I have to move into the outside RIGHT lane. This is the lane that belongs to traffic that is merging in from Highway 16. So, as the semi-trailer came up from Highway 16, I had to speed up to pull ahead of it, and be in my proper lane to exit the freeway.
This idiot in a car behind me also wanted to exit at 51st Street. However, rather than be courteous and speed up to be well ahead of the monster truck, he just signaled and idled across, RIGHT in front of the semi-trailer. I didn't even have to be in the cab to hear him curse.

Do drinking straws really need to be individually wrapped? Yes, I know, its a hygiene thing. I understand the generic reason behind individually wrapping the straws. That's not my question. What I want to know is do we actually NEED that?
We seem to study any and every inane thing on the planet so I wanted to know, did someone do a study and determine that massive amounts of people were getting ill from germs acquired from drinking straws? It seems like a bit of a stretch to me that we might be passing germs on drinking straws. Only take one and don't share it. It seems pretty logical to me.
Do germs even last on a plastic drinking straw? I thought part of the point of a plastic straw was that it was fairly antiseptic. Am I wrong about this? It seems that everywhere I go, the straws are all individually wrapped. I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't so damn hard to get the straw out of the wrapping. But the inordinate amount of time I've been needing to get at my straw has made me ask, do we really need this? Is society being advanced by drinking straw condoms? Is there value for the money here?
Inquiring minds want to know . . .
