I really had a hard time sleeping yesterday after work. I think I am coming down with the flu, hopefully not the oink flu.
It came on fast, and I was coughing, wheezing and felt like total crap all day and night. Most likely I should not have gone to work last night but I wasn’t sure how many people would be working. And anyway, if I had stayed home, I would have missed watching Paul fall asleep all night. I swear one of these nights he is going to break his neck the way it bobs around as he falls asleep.
I did get my contacts ordered yesterday morning. Over 100 dollars per eye for a 6 month supply. I also got a sample of a contact that turned my brown eyes blue.

SECURITY GUARDS AT U.S. EMBASSY SHOW OFF THEIR FINEST
It looks like there will be a few less contractors working for the U.S. in Afghanistan, at least at Camp Sullivan, the location of the U.S. Embassy.
I doubt you will see these pictures in the U.S. media. (WARNING: UNLESS YOU WANT TO SEE FAT NAKED, OVER CONFIDENT AMERICANS IN BLURRY NUDE PHOTO’S, DON’T LOOK.)
****My friend Kyle, from work, said he “feels sorry for their wives and/or girlfriends****

JESUS HAS BEEN SPOTTED ON MARS!
The surface of the planet Mars can be added to this list of places that Jesus has been spotted.
Jesus on Mars?
If looked at from the right angle – and with disbelief suspended – this photo released by Nasa can appear to show the face and robed body of Christ. The image was taken by a camera on Nasa’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on August 3 and published this week The view shows gullies near the edge of the Hale crater on southern Mars.
In 2004, a decade-old cheese sandwich allegedly bearing a likeness of the Virgin Mary was sold to an online casino for over $15,000 and helped shift hundreds of T-shirts depicting the sandwich.

William F’n Shatner and Leonard Nimoy were together at the annual Dragon-Con. Nimoy praised the new Star Trek movie while Shatner, who is still mad he didn’t receive a part in the movie, said he still had not seen it due to his busy schedule.

The city of Omaha Nebraska has decided to use illegal tactics in an attempt to ballance their 2010 budget, which is currently about 8 Million dollars in the hole. The Omaha city council added a $50 satellite dish inspection fee to the new budget. The fee would require anyone who uses a satellite TV or internet service to pay an inspection fee of 50 dollars. The plan exempts commercial satellite dishes and other antennas that are heavier than the standard satellite TV dish.
Federal law says local governments can’t have any law, regulation or restriction that increases the cost of installation, maintenance or use of a satellite dish.
The fee would add about 2 million dollars in the effort to ballance the budget.
In my opinion, the city should stop all work on the new ball park that is being built on the north side of the city, which in reality would only be used for about 2 weeks out of every year for the Mens NCAA College World Series. (The Omaha Royals announced that they will not play at the new park but instead will play at the new ball park being built in Papillion, Sarpy County).

Hope you get better quickly, Ted. Having those migraines for so long is something your doc should know about.

Thanks … I have seen the doctor so many times. I think he thinks it is all in my head.
Hope all is good there, Thanks for visiting.
