Answers on the Internet

Tomorrow (Wednesday) promises to be cold and rainy, a gray day that will be the less appealing sibling to today's gray and warm and rainy experience. And, tomorrow morning I have to get up early so I can begin my drive toward Austin by 5:30 am to arrive in time for a 9:00 am meeting. A meeting that will last until noon. And then I will drive back. My inclination is to cancel the Austin trip, but that would entail backing down from a promise that I would make the meeting, which I would find awfully unappealing.

Crap. I hate driving on dark, wet, rainy roads. I loathe windows that fog up and attempt to hide the pedestrians and automobiles in front of me.

Oh, well, it's not going to change, so I'll just buck up and do it. And then I'll pretend that I'm off for the rest of the day. Maybe I'll discover the answers on the Internet. I know I had the answers once, but I misplaced them. Maybe I left them on the Internet.

I heard yesterday about a guy in Australia, a mid-60s businessman and conservationist, who made it his mission recently to unseat John Howard as Prime Minister. Maybe I'll take up his cause late tomorrow afternoon, adapting it to the U.S. marketplace. Getting Bush out of office even a month early would be a wonderful thing.
