Smack!

I had just pulled into the parking lot of Char-Grill, ready for a tasty Friday afternoon burger. A black Jeep Cherokee in front of me stopped to look for a parking place. Before I know it, the Cherokee is backing up straight for me. I lay on the horn for a second or two but its no use. She backs right into my left headlight, crumpling the hood.

I traded contact information and insurance information but decided against filing a police report. I’m going to head over to the body shop to see what we’re looking at to fix it.

And just what is it about my cars that attracts Jeep Cherokees?

I installed the Googlebar into Mozilla yesterday. It seemed to have worked fine until this morning, when I realized all my bookmarks are now gone. Oops.

I think it had to do with my not being root when I installed it. Instead I sudo’d, which dorked up the paths when it upgraded, it seems.

Bird With A Word On The Olympic Team

Indiana Pacers president and basketball god Larry Bird sums up my feelings on what’s wrong with our Olympic basketball team (not that I’m a basketball team president or god or anything).

“Sometimes I think we go for names, and not players,” Bird said. “Every one of those guys is the go-to guy on their team. When you’re the go-to guy, you’re always doing something. But when you’re not, you’re just standing out there and don’t know what to do.”

Read the rest. Then email it to Larry Brown. Maybe there’s time to save our gold medal.
