no more Caspar...

normally i don't care about someone political that dies, but i'll make an exception in this case. i remember reading this strip in the book (didn't see it originally published) and finding it funny, so when i saw that Caspar had died, i figured this was fitting.



i'll swipe Caspar's response from here (which was copied out of the "One Last Peek")

The strip elicited the following response on official stationery from the Department of Defense:

Dear Mr. Breathed,

Many a morn I've longed to see
A comic strip be kind to me.
On 30 March, before my eyes
A penguin watched a warm sunrise.
In this land of so much bouty
Could I have that great Bloom County?

Sincerely,

Caspar Weinberger.


(he was sent the comic)

well, it's been a little while, but when there's some good news, it tends to inspire me to just run my fingers and let what may spew, actually spew.

i'd like to say that there was a lot of interesting and facinating stuff that happened since i last posted anything substantive, but it really hasn't.

my car passed inspection, altho there is apparently a slight leak in the exhaust system (most likely related to when the hangers broke). i'm going to my cousin's wedding on friday with M (we fly out on thursday). she's the first of the next generation. found out my uncle is getting married in july. fortunately, siblings and immediate children only (huzzah! don't have to go!).

battlestar galactica ended the 2nd season with one hell of a bang. it really is one of the best shows on TV right now. Dr. Who has returned to US televisions. not a big deal if you live in the UK where you are looking forward to the 2nd series, but it's nice to see it. not sure about how it was filmed, and the TARDIS looks a little off, but i enjoyed it. (mom sent a resounding "HE'LL DO!" afterwards)

work is busy as hell, and this weekend was rough. we had a series of network issues that i thought were tied to a switch, but we'll see. there were issues afterwards, but i'm wondering if we should have bounced everything. the phone system flaked out this evening and i got 3 calls before/during dinner tonight that were rough. i bounced all of the phone switches and a few servers after getting home.

some big plans for the network and the nice thing is i'm in the middle of them, but it means a lot work and preparation. i do get to goto training in may, so that will be helpful.

well, my attention is beginning to wander, so i'll just post what little there is here.

i'm watching 24 right now (the following happens between 5pm and 6pm) and they are looking for (well, just killed) a terrorist in the basement of a hospital and i was reminded of something i think of from time to time.

i really hope that real SWAT team/special forces type people who go into these kinds of situations wear boots that are a LOT more quiet. it always seems to me that when i see stuff like that on tv, you always hear the footsteps of the unit (or person) as they try to quietly creep around.

logic would dictate that if you are trying to quietly sneak around to kill someone/prevent something from happening, wouldn't you want to wear footware that will help disguise your presence?

i certainly would...
