Chili Quesadillas for lunch are good, but we need thicker tortillas -- ones that will warm and crisp a little, but not flake in sheets. The ChiChis ones seem to be of the flake kind, but I don't know if they're the only ones.
An article in the Economist says that one supermarket chain, in Denmark, is experimenting with having stores staffed only by the over-45, in a way of making the experience acceptable to the aging population. Maybe its just me, but I don't see that as a guarantee of satisfaction. It's the person, not the age. I've had great teenager servers and grumpy people my own age. Another note in the article says '"How (do you) get senior people to take orders from young whippersnappers?" I assume they're trying to be hep and groovy with that, but I'd say it starts with teaching the young ones how to handle people -- regardless of their age.
A friend on Facebook, who lives about a mile from here, says she's gotten 11 new inches of snow. We've gotten about six. Just lucky, I guess. Gonna have to go back out and do some more shoveling in a bit, I think. Not touching the base of the driveway, of course.
Glad we got that garage door fixed yesterday.
I liked this video, even though it spoke against my own leanings. I'm not particularly fond of free trade -- I really liked the West Wing episode where Josh gets to meet the people who lose their jobs because of it.
I guess I wouldn't mind having an XBOX 360, but at three to four hundred dollars a pop, I'd find it hard to justify. Then again, it took us years to justify the LCD TV.
I really don't get the point of cloud computing, though I did just see a video where the fellow said it's a method of allowing what I've heard called (elsewhere) "fast, cheap, and out of control" iterations, without the delay of standard environmental constraints. Oh. That does sound interesting.
As does this.

I especially love tortillas that have been cooked over flame. I buy them all raw and floury (meaning *cooked* but they seem raw and floury to ME) and then cook them over the flame myself. Mmmmmmmmmmm.
I'm not able to watch your videos. My speaker isn't doing what it's supposed to. It's making a stupid static sound instead. Dang it.
And I just today noticed the di di dit di di morse code thingy in your title. What does it mean? A secret message in morse code? Oooooooooooooh ... I totally want to know what it says!
It is, in fact, a secret message. One you might appreciate, in fact. This site might help.
Or you can just send me an email (ceruleanbill@gmail.com) and I'll tell you.
