Teh Wife has me reading Denialism. She just read it herself. Maybe now I can throw away that bottle of useless echinacea she's had. It's fascinating stuff. The commentary about alternative medicines is great. I didn't realize Tom Harkin, who I typically think is a decent politician, is a big supporter of alternative medicine crap, which definitely takes him down a notch in my estimation. At least Prince Charles dresses well, you know?

I am very ashamed of the typo I made in the title of my last diary. "Dauther"? Really, gzt? Really?

This Indian restaurant nearby used to have an all-you-can-eat lunch buffet for a reasonable price, I should check out whether they still have it. It was hidden in the basement of a hotel.

Our state fair is a great state fair.

Just heard there's a powerlifting meet quite close to my parents' place - on the line between here and there - in December, definitely thinking about doing it. It's right after Thanksgiving, near finals, etc etc, so I might not, but it's good to consider. I might be up to a 500# squat and should be over a 500# deadlift by then.

I wish this sort of thing were actually acceptable: http://www.utilikilts.com/company/products/kilts/mocker/ And didn't look fruity. I don't wish too hard, though. And FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU that's nearly $200.

And... Time for lunch.
