Random Thoughts 2/1/11

• I can confirm it is indeed snowing… a lot.  Stupid global warming.  Be alert in case church cancels again tomorrow.  Our Elders will make that call, but it's very possible.
• Social Security is broke now.  Oops.
• Pay attention to Egypt.  I hope this works out peaceably, but even a "peaceful" transition could still lead to war with Israel.  It's time to read up the history of the region, especially the Sinai War of '56 and of course the Six-Day War and Yom Kippur War.
• It happened again today.  Goofballs, who should never operate a motor vehicle, were going the WRONG WAY down the parking lot rows at Walmart and then doing 3-point turns (or worse) to get into an angled parking spot that was pointing the other way.  Seriously?  I've seen this three times in the last two weeks.  What's wrong with you people?
• This would be a great day for a Redbox movie or two… but the selection of movies there is horrible.  The couple of good ones that are there, we've already seen.  And the other 90% of the movies there, including a lot of direct-to-video debris, is just awful and unwatchable.
• My snow shovel, which I'll need soon, was missing this morning.  I asked the boys where it was.  The answer: in the backyard, somewhere, under the snow.  Grrr…
