    Well I have warning signs and I sincerely do not want to hurt anyone. I chose windows that are hidden and not beach accessible (the main windows people have been prying away at.) They're also high enough some kid can't accidentally grab hold of one. I do have some concern that the literacy rate here is such that a sign may not be enough warning which is why I have a 10 sec. delay with a loud verbal warning. If after being verbally warned they still want to screw with it and try to steal then, well, fuck'em.

    When I first drew up the plans for this "system" I wanted to get a big ass capacitor (large as in volts, not size) and make each set of bars a stationary tazer. Turns out I can't find a capacitor here so who ever touches the bars will get volts and amps but they will be warned first.

    How do you say "Come at me, bro!" in Spanish? Have that made into a flashing neon sign that activates when the circuit is closed on the shock therapy system.

    Cha-ching.

    This site has a brief blurt of an article that made me laugh. I also copied it below:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    How many times a week are people having sex? How good is it? Where’s the best place to have sex? These are some of the questions condom maker Durex sought to answer when it conducted two surveys recently.
    The Durex Sexual Wellbeing Global Survey was conducted last fall by Harris Interactive among a total of 29,003 adults in 36 countries, while the Durex In Sync Sex Survey was conducted among 1,000 Americans earlier this year.
    Perhaps the most disheartening finding was this: Most women are having really lousy sex.
    “The findings suggest the majority of Canadian women simply make do with a mediocre sex life,' Jana Swedburg, brand manager of Durex Canada, said in a press release.
    However, on the plus side: “We also found that having great sex improves mood and reduces stress, indicating that a fulfilling sex life is a key component to psychological well-being,” Swedburg said.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
    Pretty funny stuff eh? I'll bet the majority of the people who took that survey were disgrunted, or lying, or making it up, or just randomly picking answers. :p

    The Kurt Russel avatar that Plan9 is using this very second is awesome. His epic beard alone from that film is probably better than anything is the new film/prequel/whatever term applies that I have no real desire to watch anytime soon.

    So. I really didn't plan on being up until the middle of the night combing head lice out of teen boohead's head.
    Great fun!
    We don't see any on me, but we're going to treat anyway.
    I've got the heebie jeebies.

    Bengals are affection bullies. Still haven't made it out of bed due to almost 40 pounds of determined Happy Cats snuggling with me. The war over who marks me with chin rubs first just cracks me up. You will love me!!

    I hope it was to do something fun. I took today off as well, though I have to go back tomorrow. I'm going riding.

    Definitely. From what I saw it is possible the kids were turning left in front of the semi and he just punted them down the road (he had no stop sign, rural highway). Or maybe they were oncoming and crossed the center line (semi was off in the ditch to the right, so it didn't appear that he went into oncoming traffic, unless he did and overcorrected back into the ditch). I'd hate to be that semi truck driver either way though, to know you'd been involved in killing three kids, your fault or not.

    I watched some crappy 70's crime drama this morning while the rain filled the streets. The main plot of the movie was pretty lame. What was even more lame was a main character going to full blown withdrawals because her dealer wouldn't give her more pot. Yes if you smoke a few joints and then stop you'll have the shakes and cold sweats if you can't get more.
