Thursday miscellanea #179

• Everything I read and heard indicated I would get no cell phone coverage at Camp McDowell.  Well, my signal was fine, and there was even WiFi.  I could have taken my charger.  (Probably good that I didn’t.)  I could have taken my netbook and blogged.  (Ditto.)
• I still hate Daylight Saving Time.  When I’m president, my first executive order on the afternoon of January 20 eliminates it.
• Well, maybe my second.  My first, of course, changes “Hail to the Chief” to “God of Thunder” by Kiss.
• Eight kids checked out of Aaron’s school early today, including him and one of his classmates.  Norovirus!  Woohoo!
• The first LED daytime running lights on cars were cool.  Now we’re firmly in the obnoxious bandwagon period.  I predict yellow ones next, then both white and yellow on the same car.
• My hot sauce adventure goes swimmingly.  I’ve gotten to 175,000 Scoville units with Great White Shark Predator hot sauce.  It’s got a wonderful flavor, too.
• Google+ has ruined the company, according to an ex-team lead.  I’ll kill mine soon.  I’d post an announcement first, but is anyone reading anyway?  (Edited:  Wow, I posted such an announcement a month ago and didn’t even remember doing it.)
