Been back in Davis since Friday night...had a lovely Thanksgiving break. Hmmm, break, yes, nearly literally. I managed to sprain my ankle nicely during the MoAd alumni football game (the Turkey Bowl) Thursday morning. Spent the afternoon in the emergency room and then got to drive, sprained ankle and all, back to Davis the next day. With traffic it took three hours. By the time I got home my ankle was purple and swollen to double its normal size (pressing on the gas pedal wasn't fun). Of course the reason I had to come back to Davis was this *!&$#%@ physiology lab report about human urine, due Monday, that I needed books from the library to complete. After spending 30 minutes hobbling to the library on crutches and another 30 minutes hobbling back I'm in a delightful mood. This is all just an explanation for why my thoughts may be a bit darker than usual.

Question of the day: Didn't the republicans claim they are always good for the economy? Is it just me or has this not been true since Eisenhower?

Thought of the day: When the president pardoned the Thanksgiving Turkey this year, I think it was only to avoid cannibalism.  ¶ 10:14 PM
