Icewind's Ramblings

Observation from yesterday: I have seen the truth and it makes no sense. Ice

I had all these wonderful posts lurking in my brain these past few days and I wanted to get some of them down on paper before heading off to work this morning. As I sat down to write I put on the TV and saw the breaking news coming out of Virginia Tech, with the 4 hours time difference it reminded me once again of September 11. It was another beautiful morning breaking much like that day but cooler here in the northland. My heart is breaking once again as I seek answers of how people can be so evil with others and I just can't be witty now. There are few words . . . . . . that can be expressed in the light of the evil committed on the Virginia Tech campus this morning.

I am reminded once again of a passage -- Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen), The West Wing, "20 Hours In America ...

Lately I've been getting spam that looks like this. If it’s not about the latest death in Nigeria somehow related distantly to my family wanting me to unlock the money from accounts overseas . . . Do libido and erection enhancing drugs improve eyesight? The format reminds me of an optometrist's chart. V A L I U t M X k A N A X V I s A G R A C I A u L I S A M B I E k N That reminds me . . . I may need to schedule my next eye exam . . . Or maybe this, which I have wondered about for some time now . . . If you do need to take Viagra, and you have trouble swallowing pills . . . I worried if you don’t swallow them quickly . . . you might get a stiff neck. Does insurance cover the cost of these pills? I guess if the insurance companies are going to set guidelines before approving Viagra coverage, what measure are they going to use? A growth chart! I could go on and on thinking about this but it seems like too much effort. Ice
