Nice to be able to blog from home again... and to read my e-mail, and catch up on all I missed the last few days around the blogosphere. Still no new router, but I did manage to convince the old bedroom PC to pick up an IP from the cable modem: a trick I should have figured out as soon as it became clear that the router was the problem. (Reset the modem after you switch out the connection - duh).

Lots o' goodies from linkville, a couple of which even bear a comment or two from me:

Buddy Don on fitin terr.

taint bullets that kin wipe out them germs.

tiz the antibidies of better, truer idees.

P'ruse the hol thang.

Via Bérubé, a truly horrid and ridiculous story. Folks, get a grip.
...
Aurors in Training. (By the way, all I can say about this is, Professor Snape has a lot of explaining to do)... I can't say Half Blood Prince is the best of the series, but I can say with all honesty that it is second only to The Sorcerer's Stone.
...
The "Republican Wing" of the Republican Party is out for blood, including "my" state rep, the infamous Chris Clem of Lookout Mountain (note the first comment on BH's post). It seems that denouncing the Kelo decision, but recognizing how it is now the law of the land and recognizing that the onus is now on legislators to restore the safeguards it removed is too unstatesmanlike for someone aspiring to represent us in the Senate. More in keeping with the dignity of that body would apparently be to howl for blood and scream for revenge.
...
Ten sins of retail sprawl, and tips on beating it. Too late for Tiftonia, I fear.

Happy Thursday.
