Dune
If you haven't read it yet, you must read Dune, by Frank Herbert. You must. Really. The movies either suck or SUCK, but the books are beyond good. Like I quote from them all the time and the page corners are turned down on my favorite places and it's changed how I look at the world.
From now on, I'll try to post a new Dune quote at least every time I post, if not every day (like I said, not good at daily stuff).
Today's Dune quote:
The Litany Against Fear (Dune, p. 8)
"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

back...again
Yeah, so I'm going to try to blog regularly again. I suck at "journaling," and this blog can't be about ideas because those are in my notebook, so I'll try to make this about information, useful and trivial.
Like, the Colorado Springs projected high tomorrow is 80. That's insane! We live in Colorado, for goodness' sake! But this part is so Colorado: On April 7th, the official high was 25. We may get one last snow storm even next month. But dear God I hope Al Gore gets his way and that it makes a difference, because if it gets much hotter this summer, like over 100, I'm moving to Leadville, elevation 10,152 (almost two miles; we're at over one mile here), average summer high: 70. Nice. Cool.
Trivial info? Useful? Just depends on your perspective.
