And a good thing, too. Nothing worse than "partially licensed".

Isn't it interesting that they don't list pho as a specialty? Or do they figure that since it's mentioned in the name, there's no need? Marketing is such a tricky thing.

Are you like me? When you want a game of bingo, do you look for one with no artificial sweeteners? No additives, or preservatives? Well, have I got the place for you.

Isn't free association a terrible thing? Especially when it comes armed with a digital camera and a blog?

And, did Hillary just hand the Democratic nomination over to Barack? America safer now since 9/11? Thanks to the Dept. of Homeland Security?!? Riiiiigggghhhht. I love this notion: "Some cite the fact that there have been no domestic terror attacks since Sept. 11, and the foiling of several alleged terror plots, as evidence that the new antiterrorism measures are working." Yes, and you'll notice they're very effective against tigers, too. Seen any of those wandering across the White House grounds lately? Nooooooo. Ignore the fact that Dumbya has pissed off most of the non-American world. Ignore the fact that thousands of innocent lives have been lost thanks to his moronic (not to mention homicidal) foreign policies. And, if you can actually do those things, believe America is safer. Dumbya would probably refer to it as "Faith-based Security". Lotsa luck with that.

Well, a good day and a bad day. On the "good" side, lots of my students (so far) have done well on their first exam. Some, naturally, didn't, but that's kind of how it goes.

On the "bad" side, I installed the latest version of Firefox on my office (thank heaven) computer. It's not workin' so good. In fact, I ended up uninstalling it, which is forcing me to use Explorer, which I'd rather not do. But, until the bugs are fixed - uh-uh - no latest Firefox for me.

And now I'm trying to attach tags to this post, and Blogger's doing me the wonderful favour of auto-filling. Except, of course, it's filling in stuff I don't want! Notice that I've got the tags "fraser river", "fraser" and "river". Well, for the last two, Blogger wanted to put in "fraser river", so I had to delete "fraser" for one and "river" for the other. And now I'm trying to enter the tag "vancouver", since that's where the photograph was taken, but Blogger wants to use "eastside vancouver", since I've used that before. Who designs these things? Are they completely stupid/incompetent, or do they just like torturing the poor folks trying to use their ever-so-helpful software?

Ain't it tragic?
