On tonights episode of CSI, entitled “Spark of Life”, there was a truck driver that was under investigation for murder. When they first pulled him out for interrogation, he was wearing a hat from none other than Hoss’s. Nice to see CSI showing some love for The Commonwealth.

On our way to work this morning there was a Chevy Venture in front of us with 2 flags and 5 of those magnetic ribbons (which were most likely made in China). I’m all for being patriotic, but that much stuff? Heck, we’ve got a bunch of stuff in our windows, but at least it’s all something different. I’ve not been a fan of those magnetic ribbons since they showed up. They seem like a cheap plot to make money on the need for our citizens to display their loyalty to the United States. I have a small static cling U.S. flag in the back window of our vehicle and that’s about as far as it will ever go. I think that the U.S. window flags that this guy has are an abomination. They do nothing more than shred (at high speed) a perfectly good flag. The edges of the flags on this van were already torn and tattered. No U.S. flag should be treated in that manner. It’s a shame that the diehard patriots in this van have no common sense. Enjoy the picture though.

Well, technically one of them is an audio book, but you get the point. I’ve been slowly using all the iTunes Music Store gift certificates that I got for Christmas. I’m always so indecisive about what is worth buyng. *sigh*

Everyone send positive thoughts and prayers out to Maia. She’s not doing well lately and Bridget and I are worried about her. She’s got some issues with her kidneys and she needs all the positive energy that everyone can muster. Thanks everyone, especially Wil Wheaton for recording his experience with Felix so brilliantly.
