Gas Still Hurts, What a Bunch of Hot Air

The inevitable was reached. I got more gas today. $25 bones and I don't even reach the 3/4 tank, I can't imagine driving a gas guzzler Tahoe or Suburban, and I don't wanna. Sheesh. Getting a scooter sounds more and more enticing now. Even my coworker rides a bicycle. Well at least I guess it's barely over 3 bones a pop here. But still. Pretty soon this will cost an arm. Already has. And it's a Monday. Great.

Air conditioning is busted at my work. Or the unit that serves my part of the office and surrounding area. ARRGH. Let's just say the temperature is perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes if there were an actual body of water in here. Pond. Wait. The frozen A/C unit up in the ceiling is melting right now, drip drip into the trash can. Maybe we will have a mosquito farm after all. Darn, we're indoors. Grab your citronella lamp!

In other news, I discovered the coolest thing since sliced bread. I guess I've been living under a rock. I downloaded Google Earth for the first time and it is so cool. A lot cooler than Yahoo Terraserver or whatever that thing was. I remember someone showing me a satellite pic, But Google Earth went all out. You can look for streets, restaurants, landmarks. I was just visiting St. Peter's Basilica at Rome. Awesome. I used DirectX mode, but I don't have a Pentium 15 so it's kinda slow in refreshing images. But way cool nonetheless. I'm impressed Google. Speechless.
