Easy way to get my vote

Pursue war profiteering charges against the oil companies. It’s approaching USD3.50/gallon (or for my metrically inclined friends, it’s getting damn close to a buck a liter). Because they’re making record profits in the history of business and not just relative to last year. This means, obviously, that the run-up in prices is *not* due entirely to the run-up in the cost per barrel.

Survived the blizzard okay. Was snowed in Saturday and Sunday both, but can travel freely now. Not that I can go far on gas prices like that.

The good news that I take out of last Tuesday’s primaries is that if Hillary gets the nomination, she’s one hell of a fighter. I still prefer Obama, but I’ll take either one. If he can win Pennsylvania, though, that should pretty much moot things.

Weird year.

Oh, yippee-skip.

We’re under a blizzard warning. If I get trapped at work, it will not be pretty. And I have a head start on ‘not pretty’.

Oh, and one more thing.

I should NOT have to scrape ice off my friggin’ car in friggin’ APRIL. This is above and beyond the call of duty, even by notoriously wonky Buckeye standards.

Yup, that’s Ohio all right.

Tuesday: high of 78°.

Wednesday: low of 29°, chance of snow.

That’s seriously effed up, even by Buckeye standards.

Long day…

Started out early–Adam and I went to storm spotter training, he for the n^th time, me for the first. Apparently one class makes you a Skywarn spotter, so now I am one. There’s an advanced class next weekend, but it’s in Cincinnati.

After that, a little lunch, and we went to see 300.

That’s not steam on my breath.

That’s CO₂ precipitating out. Sweet merciful Jeebus, it’s cold!

And now, the weather report.

It’s fecking COLD!!!

I had cable TV turned off the other day. It’s not worth it. Other than Doctor Who, which I generally watch over at ‘s, there’s literally nothing on I watch.

So of course I promptly get a call offering me a discount, or more services… which tells me that I was getting ripped off all along, since they wouldn’t offer anything they wouldn’t be making a profit on.
