Here's something you don't think about every day. They plan to go to a twenty-four hour 'smear' for the next leap second, probably in 2018. What a life.

I read once that the ,musician John Denver was killed because of bad user interface in the plane he was flying. Here we have people going to jail. As computers do more, they have to work right. This is freaky

I know, I posted this already but this quote so perfectly captured how I feel...
"Hillary Clinton did everything right in this campaign, and she won more votes than her opponent did. She won. She cannot be faulted, criticized, or analyzed for even one more second.

Let that revolting president-elect be Millard Fillmore or Herbert Hoover or whatever. Hillary is Athena."
