Thoughts/feelings that just might not matter:
God bless Ann Richards, our beloved former governor, who passed away last night. “A woman’s place is in the dome!” She was the first victim of the Bush/Rove scum machine. I often dream of an alternate reality wherein she won that 1994 governor race, and the course of world history is forever changed. She lost because she saw people and places as more important that business and guns, so I certainly can’t fault her. From KEYE in Austin: “Her family said as governor she was most proud of two actions that probably cost her re-election. She vetoed legislation that would allow people to carry concealed handguns, automatic weapons and “cop-killer bullets.” She also vetoed a bill that would have allowed the destruction of the environment over the Edwards Aquifer.”
God bless Kinky Friedman, our beloved future governor. He’s not a perfect man or candidate by any stretch of the imagination, but he’s pro-legalization, anti-TAKS test, and skeptical of the death penalty. Check it out.
Finally, God bless Apple Computers, for they have returned my MacBook with a stain-free cover today. That’s right, I sent it out Tuesday at 2 pm, and it returned to me, fixed, Thursday at 10 am. Don’t let your next computer be a PC, my friends.

Real journal entries from elementary school:
January 29, 1986
My favorite color is blue. I like blue because blue is one of Auburn’s colors. My mother’s eyes are blue, the sky is blue, blue is the color of Full Circles. Blue means cold and cold means snow, fires, and ice. The color blue is nice.
I was very interested in snow as a child in southern Alabama. I was 18-years-old when I finally saw snow on the ground. I don’t quite remember what “Full Circles” might be.

Men will wrangle for religion, write for it, fight for it, die for it, anything but live for it.
