			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ouch! Talk about cutting to the quick. TIME magazine has an article &#8220;<a href="http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/01/26/why-your-state-sucks-the-great-american-map-of-fail/" target="_blank">Why Your State Sucks: The Great American Map of Fail</a>&#8221; with a map of the 50 states and one simple fact about them. The thing is, the fact is something awful about each state! Having lived in Massachusetts for 13 years, it comes as no surprise that we&#8217;re famous (notorious?) for bad drivers.  And it should be no surprise to anyone that Hawaii is the most expensive place to live.</p>
<p>Some of them are quite ironic. California with the dirtiest air (I said ironic, not bewildering) and Utah with highest porn usage (and all those Mormons, many of whom are not even supposed to own radios or TVs!).</p>
<p>But Rhode Island with the most drug use? Washington and bestiality? (How do you even begin to measure that? never mind, I don&#8217;t really want to know.) Maine the dumbest? But I think the most shocking ones are tornadoes in Minnesota and ugly people in North Dakota. I can&#8217;t recall ever hearing of a tornado in Minnesota.  Blizzards, yet, but tornadoes? Actually, I&#8217;ve never heard that North Dakota is brimming with ugly people either.</p>
<p><a href="http://pleated-jeans.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/The-United-States-of-Shame.png" target="_blank">Here&#8217;s a link to the map directly</a>. Maybe you&#8217;ll learn something too!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As every serious programmer knows, <a href="http://www.snoodworld.com/games/index.php?game=snood">Snood</a> is a must application for those moments when it is more important to think than to type. Why, Snood has been helping me program since 2003! So I was quite alarmed when I installed the latest version of Snood (4.x) on my newly built computer with Windows 7 and it was <em>jerky</em>. It is just not possible to play Snood when it&#8217;s jerky. You can&#8217;t aim straight and end up missing all kinds of clear shots. </p>
<p>I did some googling, as I do when ever I have an issue, and lo and behold, I found a solution! <strong>Revert back to Snood version 3.52</strong>. Perfect! I <a href="http://www.snoodworld.com/demos/download/download_nc.php?game=snood&#038;dl=snood">downloaded</a> the older version directly from the Snood website (the one from CNet was actually the newer version, even though it is labeled as the older), and now I can play Snood productively!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Unbelievable.  I am working on my computer and suddenly a little system bubble pops up telling me that my C drive is low on disk space.  I have two 145GB internal hard drives! How can this be? Well, darn it all, I really do have less than 1GB left on C.  No wonder it takes hours for my system to backup, which I do on a remote server.  And I have no idea what to get rid of; everything&#8217;s important.</p>
<p>I have been smelling poo all evening, but I can&#8217;t locate it.  I&#8217;ve been all around the downstairs sniffing, turned Dot&#8217;s cage inside-out, and looked under all kinds of stuff, but it still eludes me.  I know the dog needs a bath, but up close, she only smells like dog, not poo.</p>
<p>After grumbling the past few weeks about being invisible, what do I do? Neglect to tell Katie that her sister got her visa problem resolved and left for London yesterday.  She cried.  Boy do I feel like a shit.  Maybe that&#8217;s why I smell poo.</p>
<p>I got a huge pain inside when I heard cars and voices outside the side of the house and realized it won&#8217;t be Kerri and her friends.  This sucks.  And with Katie planning on moving from Beverly to somewhere near Andover, we&#8217;ll never see her anymore either (even if it&#8217;s just for laundry).  Must get another puppy to alleviate my empty-nest syndrome.  Oh wait, that would mean more poo.  Never mind.  I&#8217;ll get another hard drive instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was actually googling &#8220;firefox bookmarks frozen&#8221; because I can&#8217;t add or reorder any of my bookmarks in Firefox, and I desperately want to bookmark some CDs I have been listening to through my <a href="http://www.naxos.com/" target="_blank">Naxos</a> subscription. I didn&#8217;t find any useful information, but I did see a line &#8220;Firefox has been frozen by your add-on.&#8221; in the search results. Even though the site was something I&#8217;ve never heard of (MyProps.org), it didn&#8217;t have google&#8217;s warning about being a spyware site, so I clicked on it.  The article in question turned out to be just a link to another site, which turned out to be a photo gallery from the Telegraph (UK): &#8220;<a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthpicturegalleries/6005891/A-tight-spot-the-silly-animals-that-found-themselves-a-bit-stuck.html" target="_blank">A tight spot: the silly animals that found themselves a bit stuck</a>&#8220;.  Great photos!  Except the one with the six-week-old fox cub; that one was very sad. Thank goodness someone found the cub before it died.  Of course, I still can&#8217;t add bookmarks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This month has flown right by, but not without some learning experiences.  Here are some things I learned:</p>
<ul>
<li>Never give Schrödie flea medicine while wearing a decent shirt; she still has back claws.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>There is a limit as to how much milk one can ingest in the span of three minutes.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>High school kids that play in pit bands are really cool.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>The Comfort Inn is not that comfortable.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>It can take 50 minutes to drive 5 miles when there is night construction on I-95.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Always make a backup of a database table before you do anything to it.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Agatha Christie is still a good read.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Some vampire cable shows should never have been made.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Why do we keep picking the barkiest dogs available?  And we have a mini-schnauzer to boot.  They&#8217;re supposed to be noisy, but not annoying, the book says.</p>
<p><a href="http://jennyconnors.com/images/dot_lg.jpg"><img align="left" style="margin: 3px;" title="Dot" src="http://jennyconnors.com/images/dot.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Well, let me tell you, Dot is ANNOYING.  It is 8am, and she is howling.  And barking.  And whining.  &#8220;Ruht-roooooooooooo&#8221;.  Over and over.  The kids are at the bus stop, which is in front of our house, as we live on a corner on a busy road.  They are there every day.  They sing. They talk. They laugh.  They&#8217;re real cute! But if Dot&#8217;s awake when they are there, she howls and barks. And heaven forbid Schrödinger walk by Dot&#8217;s cage during all this.  Then Dot barks louder and furiously while scratching at her cage door.</p>
<p>Over the weekend, one of the little girls in the neighborhood came down the street, probably looking for a playmate.  Vin was out in the garden, and Dot was out with him.  Dot heard the girl and started barking like mad. Through the fence, Vin heard the girl say &#8220;Aw, shut up Dot&#8221;.</p>
<p>See Dot. Even the kids think you&#8217;re annoying.</p>
