Mexican food definitely cures Empty Belly Syndrome. I think El Famous Burrito is my new burrito place.

I hear that Mexican food cures tailbone injuries. But alas, you would not know.

Better gloves and good boots, and I'll be showing up again. Thanks Iggi and Shar!

Some insight into the dispute of when the millenium, and therefore decade, started.

I like it!
So if you use c.e. (common era) 2000 started the third millenium, 2010 starts a new decade.
Blame it on the Romans who had no number for 0. Zero is an Arabic concept. There is no Roman numeral 0.

Sweet. Ghettosledding is awesome. If I can't make it, feel free to use the sleds I left at your place. I can probably ghettosledd on Thursday. It's easy to put laundry off!
