Extensions to the plan may be in order. If the nuclear plants can prove that they are still safe, they may be allowed to keep operating. The demands on power use are influencing this decision as millions of power customers still need lights and heating. We will have to see how the government of Japan handles this situation.

The Scotts hope that this will raise tourism and give their zoo some international attention. China is racking in the money as the Scots are paying nearly a million dollars a year for the use of the Pandas.

I heard a story about a man who has hit the million dollar lottery twice over the last three years. His name is Delma Kinney and he is 50 years old. This is a very lucky man. He plans to give away some of the money he won and he can because after all, he hit the lottery before. I would wish him good luck, but apparently he doesn’t need it.

I think I’ll do what I always do and that is to stay home and order my things on the internet. Why fight the crowds when I can have what I need delivered to my house. These people are just not thinking to clearly. They are fun to watch though.

There is not much on TV tonight and so we are thinking that we may play a game. I don’t know if I can talk my girl into playing a game of scrabble as she always loses. She may not want to play. Anyway, I guess we’ll make it through the night.

It turns out that Dolly Parton was born on the same day as I. At least I have some good company in that category. Some other famous Capricorns are David Bowie, Nicholas Cage, and Jimmy Page.

I would like to get a bigger boat sometime in the future, but for now I am happy with the one I have. It’s never left me stranded and that’s something that I like. I hope we can spend many hours on the water this year.

I guess they needed a sign here. Not sure someone who can’t figure this out on their own should be driving though. Scary thoughts.

I remember when that movie came out. Everyone was so excited about the story of a little boy finding an alien and making friends with it, that it was friendly and meant us no harm. I hope that if we ever do have visitors from space arrive here, that their first contact with us humans is with a little boy like the one in the E. T. movie.

Did you ever notice how helpful those Windows error messages can be? They are not as helpful as the Mac messages, but this would be an improvement. I sometimes move files to different folders and then the shortcuts don’t work any longer – it gets frustrating – why can’t Windows shortcuts keep track of where the file moved to?
