God Dammit, Iran
Jan. 13th, 2006 01:12 amWhile we were or were not looking for WMD in Iraq, Iran is rattling their sabre and choking our chain.
I would dare say that one of the hazards of messing around with nations in order to gain "stability" in the Middle East is that eventually that country you pissed off will later be a major pain in your ass later on. Yesterday, they booted out the Shah and took some hostages. Today, nukes. Great.
I find myself fascinated by the Hajj ritual. More thoughts to come on this.
In light of the recent storming activity in my part of the state, I acquired a quote for Flood Insurance. I am in a low risk zone (good news!), and it looks like flood insurance would cost me 300 buckaroos per year. Or about $25 per month, essentially. Quite worth it if we're building up to some nifty-keen sudden flooding.
My ipod was acting a bit wonky the past few days. I bit the bullet and did a full restore, and now I'm re-syncing the ipod with my computer. That bad boy should be churning all night to restore 6000 plus songs onto the iPod.
I worked late tonight engaging in much heavy lifting of Cisco routers. I feel so brawny, yet slightly sore.
