Bedbugs and Ballyhoo

Heroes was all kinds of terrific, as usual.  Bennett's turning into a genuine hardass - "Your last thoughts" will stick with me for a while.  George Takei busting out with the kata.  Sylar getting more monstrous by the hour.  And there's news of a spinoff miniseries coming next season.

Filled up the Explorer yesterday.  $47.  Both vehicles have very-nearly-full tanks, and with no real trips in my future, that should last me a good long while.

Have determined that "What doesn't kill me makes me stronger" is not a universally correct statement.  Recent events aren't going to kill me, but they have left me considerably weaker.

Every Breath you Take

I have acquired a useful new tool.  Found 2GB SD memory cards at Office Depot for $30 this morning.  One is now plugged into my TX.

I'm constantly amazed at how technology progresses.  This little bitty thing, which I can cover with the last knuckle of my thumb, has more usable storage space than my first PC did, even after adding the whopping 1.2GB second hard drive.  It's plugged into a device that is about 4.5x as fast as that first PC, and has a communications capability that barely existed in 1994.
