Google Chrome Yikes!

After Google removed some VERY scary terms from it's draconian user agreement giving it rights to all content published through it, I installed Google Chrome a few days ago because, as a web developer, I wanted to see how this new browser with enormous popularity potential rendered. It did a good job as far as I could see.

Bad Case of Gas

When I bought my little 4x4 economy car a few years ago I could top it off for a tad over $13. But the price of gasoline was on the rise and no reason to think it would stop. Indeed it has not. When I arrived in town in the early afternoon today the price of regular was effectively $4.10. When I departed later on that evening it was $4.18! It now costs nearly twice as much to top off my tiny little tank than it did when I first bought my car to save on gas in the first place.

Winter Won't Fuck Off!

I hate to sound like a global warming denialist but what the fuck already? A little local warming would be a nice start like, say, sometime this Spring. A week ago it was 80°F. Today it's closer to 30°F! To top it off, my lights start to flicker as the sky cracks. Thunder snow!? God must be really pissed!

Nothing follows a December Big Gulp like a 4 month Slushy!
