Termination Dust

The first sign of winter has arrived. It's several weeks late this year, but it still feels too soon. This morning as I was driving across town to the library I looked up into the mountains and saw that the peaks were lightly dusted with white. The days are becoming shorter and colder; it wont be long now and I'll be plugging my Jeep in every night. I'm not a big fan of block heaters, but they make warm-up take much less time. I just hate digging through the snow drift looking for the cord.

Update on last night's hockey game: we lost. Things went well the first period, but after that was all down hill. I wish I could blame the team, but my perfomance was way below par. I had a great first period, but I started having problems with my knee pads and then it was all over. By the third period I was pretty much just letting the puck by. Next game will be better. I got new knee pads and my new goal pads are awsome. I have practice tomarrow, then my first UAA game on Tuesday.

There was a wind storm this weekend, knocked down some trees. Late last week they found a women in a park who had been badly beaten. The next day she died in the hospital. They had a picture of her in the paper from before she got beat up, she was really normal looking. I can't see why anyone would want to beat her up. I hope they find the bastards and lock them away for good.

There were some idiots marching around Anchorage yesturday copying the Sheehan march in DC. Why do people insist on being such ass holes? I can't get over the fact that people have such twisted views of the world. They'll keep it up, and here in the US people will be shouting about how we are back in Vietnam. The only people who are back in Vietnam are the protestors. They'll do anything to take themselves back. They were allowed to tear this country apart before and, from the looks of things, they'll be allowed to do it again. It's there right, you know, even if they'd never lift a finger to defend it.

This post is scatter-brained. I think I have been studying too much chemistry again. Test tomarrow, better get some sleep.
