maybe Amazon should adapt it as a short story for Kindle ....kindling?

Kindle the Amazon? That idea would catch on like wildfire.

The Large Hadron Collider.

The atom smasher will reach world record collision energies later this month at 7 trillion electron volts.
But joints between the machine's magnets must be strengthened before higher-energy collisions can commence.
The Geneva-based machine only recently restarted after being out of action for 14 months following an accident in September 2008.

New bifocals.

monster · 03-11-2010, 05:40 PM

the eye surgery wasn't a success then? or just a partial success?

Pico and ME · 03-11-2010, 05:56 PM

I'm waiting for my second surgery...the 'enhancement' surgery. My vision, although much improved, still needs help. They paid for these glasses to tide me over till then. Bifocals suck(!) when you are accustomed to progressive lenses. I'm slowly getting used to them, but the first day I wanted to cry, it was so hard.

monster · 03-11-2010, 09:11 PM

I'm sorry, Pico, doesn't sound fun

Pico and ME · 03-11-2010, 10:06 PM

Thanks Monster, its a challenge to be sure, but there is a light at the end of this tunnel..hopefully.

Ya notice the LHC will be turned off for all of 2012?

Mildly irritating me today: university toilet paper. 'nuff said.

We just had a power surge and the cable went out (but not the Net). Since I live in Podunk US, they will not fix it until Monday. They better give me a credit is all I can say.

I went to Ulta last weekend (cosmetics store). While I was standing in line, the clerk asked the lady ahead of me, Is your address xxxxx? And your phone number xxxx? (stating the info outloud). The customer happily confirmed all this.

I come up next, and she starts the same spiel with me. Uh, no. I tell the lady, "not cool" -- I don't want my personal information broadcasted throughout the store to godknowswho. Oh, well, we're updating our database.

Too fucking bad. Can you say identity theft? Or . . . actual theft/stalking?

(shakes head)
