Well, it appears the end has happened for my company. It was a nice run. Maybe it is time for a good change for me.

Got pinged already from a company on monster. I really hope to be able to join the software company we used to use at work. Already know their product and their people, so it would be a good fit. Plus, could probably work from home. Wish me luck.

I'm hoping to get a cynics pool started. Who's in on a friendly wager for the start of the Libyan civil war? I'll put stakes down for 3 months from today. $10 USD. Anyone else (monthly intervals, please)?

Story I heard a gazillion years ago; no clue from where or who, but my Israeli friends don't even laugh at it..

A camel and a scorpion are standing at the edge of Suez looking to cross.
Scorpion says, "Hey camel, you can swim. How bout you carry me across?"
Camel says, "No way. You'll sting me and I'll drown."
Scorpion says, "But if I do that, I'll drown too."
Camel says, "That makes sense. Ok, hop on."
About half way across, the scorpion stings the camel. As he's dying and going down;
Camel says, "Why did you do that? Now we'll both die."
Scorpion says, "Because this is the Middle East, stupid."

[ed] ok, so Libya isn't the Middle East, but still ...

I don't think it will happen until elections. Then there will be some sort of corruption incident and a war between east and west will break out.

There's a reason it used to be two countries: Tripolitania and Cyrenaica.

Chickenboy and JWE,

You two are just taking an old fashioned, simplistic view. They won't settle scores that way. Instead they will use the "justice" system at the local level to do the other side in. Each local city/tribal area will just put in motion legal system under its local control to try "enemies of the state" or just generic "bad guys".

Back from the brink myself. A full week in Walt Disney World with the wee ones.

Actually, it went well. The kids had a great time and we enjoyed ourselves too. Having their enthusiasm really helps to moderate some of the chintz and cheese factor. My son met a new / old friend there and hit it off like gangbusters. The Disney staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed it more this time than when I went with my wife 12 years ago BC (Before Children).

The only OPS loss was a 7 year-old umbrella stroller that my daughter projectile vomited into last night. It contained the digesta quite nicely (she had stood up before doing so), so I quietly folded it up and placed it near a trash receptacle for the very helpful WDW staffers to uncover at their leisure. TRICK-OR-TREAT! [:D]

By the way, if you limeys are looking for any of your countrymen that come up missing, you might want to start looking in Central and South Florida. More cockney accents spoken than you could shake a stick at!

Damn am I glad to be back home. Now where's the bourbon?
