Five years ago today

Five years ago today I posted about the Democratic field for president, and how their positions on the Iraq war were not helpful for distinguishing them. One candidate spoke my mind: "Bring home the troops NOW." Remember Bill Richardson? I didn't until I re-read that post. He was going to be part of the Obama administration but some minor tax scandal scrubbed him out early. The important part of this post was my remark "Man, we're going to be paying for this fucking war for a long time."


I also posted this snapshot, number three.

And, of course, I followed up on the mysterious mass bird death in Austin. It wasn't the Joker, after all.


or was it?

January Funk

I was so deep into my January funk this week (Everybody, now: "BOO FUCKING HOO") that I missed the 5 year anniversary of my little snapshot project! I wouldn't have been able to tell you when I started that except for the even sillier "five years ago" project. Apparently I started January 25th, 2007 with this snapshot:


That's Mollie, our old cat who died in 2010 I think. The computer is still alive, which is shocking.
