The Next President in Raleigh, originally uploaded by el frijole.

'nuff said.

Thank you very much, Madam President. And thank you to the distinguished Senator from Connecticut, not only for yielding time, but also for the extraordinarily hard work that he's put in over the last several days, and in fact, over a week. And I want to thank his counterparts on the other side, including Senator Gregg, for their hard work.

Now, the fact that we're even here voting on a plan to rescue our economy from the greed and irresponsibility of Wall Street, and some in Washington, is an outrage. It's an outrage to every American who works hard, pays their taxes, and is doing their best every day to make a better life for themselves and their families. And understandably, people are frustrated. They're angry that Wall Street's mistakes have put their tax dollars at risk. And they should be. I'm frustrated and angry, too. But while there's plenty of blame to go around, and many in Washington and Wall Street who deserve it, all of us -- all of us -- have a responsibility to solve this crisis because it affects the financial well-being of every single American. There will be time to punish those who set this fire, but now's not the time to argue about how it got set or did the neighbor sleep in his bed or leave the stove on. Right now we want to put out that fire. And now's the time for us to come together and do that

Subject: Katavasov had long been meaning to carry out his promise to stay with Levin, and so he was going with him.

Althea was right.  She must love him, and it seemed as if this conviction
awoke a new star of happiness in his troubled soul.

If Philotas imagined that he could pluck the daughter of Archias like a
ripe fruit from a tree, he would find himself mistaken.

Hermon did not yet exactly understand himself, only he felt certain that
it would be impossible to surrender Daphne to another, and that for her
sake he would give up twenty Ledschas, though he cherished infinitely
great expectations from the Biamite for his art, which hitherto had been
more to him than all else.

Everything that he still had to do in Tennis he could intrust to his
conscientious Bias, to Myrtilus, and his slaves.

If he returned to the city of weavers, he would earnestly endeavour to
palliate the offence which he had inflicted on Ledscha, and, if possible,
obtain her forgiveness.

On 15/501N at Franklin, she flies up my tailpipe in the left lane (which ends) then merges right and blocks me out.

its been a long night.

between gun nuts, argumentative drunks in a window across the street, a 4am run to waffle house or the run to cvs for tums, its been a long night.

the end is in sight, though.

Found this picture while I was looking for mentions about the Pork Brains Incident for a write-up on it.

I think it sums up the situation pretty well.

Western Lanes, as much as I love it, is like using a VT100 terminal to
telnet to the intartubes. Bowling night is like using Safari 4, with
Air, Gears, AND Silverlight.

No question, the best lanes in Raleigh. Its been too long since I've
been here...
