Today. Huh!

As noted in the comment to Mickey Axlebender Thirdson, the cloudyhouse got some updates.

Went to old Hilltop High today. It's been 44 years since I first walked onto that campus. Found out that there are three summer sessions, which should allow me to get the 12 semester hours this summer. The 12 hours can be just about anything from the College of Education, or in the Sciences. The TESOL certification program is a 22 hour gig; my 12 hours for recertification could be part of the 22 hours.

Went to Simmons Hall and filed some paperwork to reactivate my student file (hey, it has been 33 years since I last took a course there). It will take a few days to get an ID and password, then I can play with registration.

Looked at the news, briefly, for some comic relief. OBooBoo shook hands with QE2, and gave her an iPod filled with his speeches. He then met with the King of Saudi Arabia, and bowed to that royal highness.

The stock market briefly broke 8,000, then subsided. Whatchwannabet most of the dimbulbs never read more than the headline about the change in accounting rules; the devil is in the details, and when they wake up from this hangover, the market could have the DTs.

Hillarious having apologized to Mexico for 90% of the druggies' guns coming from the US, it turns out that it is 90% of the traceable guns that come from the US; the vast majority of the guns the druggies use come from China, Russia, and the Mexican Army. BATF says Mexico seized 29,000 guns in 2007-2008, that 11,000 were submitted to BATF, and 5,114 were traceable to the US (because they had serial numbers). And, the fully auto versions that the druggies like are not available from the States. Again, just read the headlines, don't worry about the details.

Only 3-1/2 years until we can try to step back through the looking glass, Alice. If it hasn't gone down the rabbit black hole by then.
