Forgot about this - The Duct Tape Bandit

Been a while since this came out, but it's worth revisiting, especially since I've been coming up with a list of "signs that someone is not dating material" for my daughter.

It's all about passing legislation to cap carbon dioxide (in other words, to collect taxes on industry), which has not been proven in any respect to have an effect on the temperature of the earth. Way to start off a monday...

Dec 13 - It was a very good day

My "little" is learning to crawl. This Saturday, we put her down, and she pops up on all fours, then moves both of her knees forward and moved a hand forward. In the immortal words of cookie monster, "C is for Cookie...that's good enough for me." She's pretty much got the fundamentals down, she just needs to repeat them in order to crawl for an entended period of time. Go little...
