No, I was lost in Mythbusters.

Did you see the last episode? The Sheriff turned out to not be quite so evil.

(Although I am a bit more ambivalent about the invaders now)...

I did see it! You must be an optimist - I'm looking at the sheriff as sending the newbies to alien boot camp.

Meaning, they'll learn how to blend in better and also receive invasion lessons.

I haven't been accused of that lately.

Actually I'm just not all that fond of the human race.

And on that note.....since "they" haven't shown up..... Dang, Sharky - I'm late to the party!!

I'm still waiting as well, BQ. Maybe that's a good thing?

It took me a while to figure out the time difference this morning. How about you? It fools me every year. Glad my computer changes the time automatically and so does the digital cable display. Don't know why watching the digital clock change is so exciting, but my son was disappointed he didn't stay up and watch it change this year. I've waited and watched the clock change before, it is not THAT exciting. HAHA

Next week is supposed to be the worst traffic week of the year because people are trying to figure out why its so dark when they go home and drive more slowly than usual. Those of us that are "guided by the light" and don't watch clocks anyway. LOL

Thanks for the picture. I can feel that energy, too. You captured it really well. Is skulling part of rowing? That would be pretty hard to do first thing in the morning! LOL

Our office is run by a woman............slept her way to the top.....:-)

Somehow I kind of doubt it. If a man smoozes his way up to the top, goes out drinking,etc, its OK, but if a woman does it, she's sleeping around. Somehow it's a double standard. Is it not?

Well, small businesses are well run by women - I should have said, in my experience, anything with over 400 employees means trouble. The corporate structure WAS set up by men and women do better in small businesses. How's that for non-PC?

I'll buy that. I've know some very effective women entrepenuers. I wonder how women can ever make it in big business then?

I'm part of the dreaded "they," lol, - I'm sorry we haven't explained it to you. Ya know, when we wimmin get together and torment the boys/beasts/spirits. You can be in our club if you like! It's all harmless fun with lots of emoticons beating each other up.

You're not a bad and mean person, BQ. Are we on the same planet today? What kind of trouble were you stirring up? I missed it.

I was having a nice dream this morning when my alarm went off. I had to tell him, wait a minute, I have to turn off the alarm and then poof! he was gone! What's up with that! LOL

"Michigan's Gov is like that......affirmative action hires throughout the State's business.....true incompetence....."

Arkansas is the same, at least in the central to southern part of the state. Unfortunately, THEY are the ones who control the money and when it comes to distribution of much needed resources, they seem to "forget" that the more conservative and somewhat less "diverse" northern part of the state exists, so the money keeps pouring into creating positions for tokens and cronies, while some of the smaller and more rural northern communities can't even get funding for adequate operating space or desperately necessary positions.

You might be right. I know a couple lesbians (those with the crew cut and who actually wear men's clothes with the wallet in the back pocket, etc) who are the bosses favorite. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Hahhaha, thanks! Yeah, other nice people can recognize niceness in others :)

Thank GOODNESS, we do not have Daylight Savings. I think most of Indiana, all of Arizona, and parts of some Indian Reservations do not change the time.
