Last night I made predictions about today's Florida primary. I called it for McCain with Romney finishing second and Guilliani a distant third. The results aren't final yet but it looks like I called it right. Maybe NBC should hire me as an analyst. Tim Russert, move over!
I read an interesting article in an alumni mag I get about the implications of evangelicals voting for Romney. The author interviewed a couple of different faculty members, one of whom said it would be a good thing if a Mormon were elected President. He said it would shine a light on some of the more biblically heretical views of the religion. He said a Mormon President was that church's worst nightmare. Another faculty member said that a Mormon President would move the religion into the mainstream and grant it a legitimacy it heretofore hasn't had.
I can imagine either scenario. I just hope we never find out which one is accurate, and for reasons not associated with Romney's religious affiliation.
I delivered the two wheelchair ramps this morning and they both fit perfectly. Almost like I knew what I was doing. He's decided he wants a third for another area of the house, so I took measurements and built that when I got home. I'll deliver it on Friday when I install the shower dam. His wife comes home Monday after 8 weeks in the hospital.
On the way into town I saw, on the westbound side of the freeway, three large tour-type buses with black-out windows. But what drew my attention to them was the dozen or so motorcycle cops running escort. I'm thinking it was either the Giants or the Patriots going from their fancy Scottsdale digs (they're staying at separate resorts as the sole guests) to the stadium in Glendale.
About 6 weeks ago I got a letter calling me to jury duty tomorrow. The card said I should call after 4:30 today for specific instructions and listen for my group number. I called. The recorded message clued me in that they call about 20 groups (I don't know how many in a group). Half of those groups don't have to show up tomorrow and another 25% are to call at 1:00 p.m. to see if they're needed. The rest are to be there at 9:00 a.m. Guess which one I'm in.
So I was thinking: what does one wear to jury duty? I thought about using an iron-on transfer to make a T-shirt that says, "If you see me drooling and incoherent please give me the pill in my right rear pocket. If that doesn't return me to coherency please call my psychiatrist at...."
I really want to go to the FBR on Thursday.
I talked to Bonnie today, and as a result I now have a MySpace page. I don't know why. And I don't have any idea what to do with it. I already post my pointless ramblings here, so what do I need that for? Besides, isn't MySpace for people a lot younger than me?
You may remember the recent maiden voyage of the huge Airbus A380. You can take a really cool tour of the cockpit at:

You'll need broadband.
Driving to the gym yesterday I was behind a car with a For Sale sign that really caught my attention. The sign said it was a 1982 Toyota Cressida, 67,000 original miles, a V6 with all available options. $2500 OBO.
I thought about all the miles left in it, the mpg it would get, and the possibilities of a great deal with the OBO part of the description. The thing looked immaculate.
Alas, this is Sun City, so the owner didn't think to put any contact info on the sign. No phone number, no nothing.
He probably wonders why nobody is interested in his car.
On the news tonight I heard that the average American has 9 credit cards. And $4 in every $10 is put on a credit card.
YIKES!
Never mind an economic recovery plan, American needs a credit reduction plan.

Topless saleswomen are legal in Liverpool, England, but only in tropical fish stores.
I don't make 'em up, I just report 'em.
