FRANKFORT — Sometime after the Salato Wildlife Center staff left work on last Thursday night and before they got to work Friday morning, a bison named "Cow Number 4" decided she'd have her baby in peace without them. Not that the staff interferes much with the bison but, make no mistake, the herd of five, now six, are kept safe and healthy by a watchful care and veterinary staff.


or bison.  whatevs.
the bebeh looks totally like a "Buffy"

after I die and go to hell  <---- [possibility: likely]

I will find that it runs on MS Office 2007 *

and if by chance I am deserving of some special treatment by Satan and his minions, it'll be Apple-based **

 

...now, off to find (many) adult beverages.  this day has been teh suck

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* yes, my tiny podunk little college *just* upgraded to MS Office 2007.  and MS Vista ***.  we are backwards, i know. shut up.  of course the upgrade came without warning, notice, grace period, or training.  d'Oh.

** MS Office 2007 is suspiciously pretty, woefully lacking on text, heavy on (shudder) intuition, colorful, and chock-a-full of pretty.   Apple-wannabes if you ask me.

*** I was saved from Vista.  my computer is too woefully underpowered.  I am the envy of everyone.

had to stop, listen to the songs again, ponder whether WMP has a soul*, then upload the songs to VOX.

* probably not.  'tis a Microsoft product after all.

it is said that nature abhorrs a vacuum...

...what is less known is that there are several ways to express that abhorrence.   one of them is a complex equation involving cats and boxes. 

step 1.  

Empty box
Empty box

step 2. 

 

Occupied
Occupied

step 3.

 

Fully occupied

...and now that abhorrence has been dealt with, as you were.

I ain't clicking on the link, but the wording is rather Big Brotherish.   and for the record, AllState the company is teh suck.

edit:  apparently we are all seeing different ads on the VOX homepage.  to clarify, this is what I see:
