So, every top of the hour during my shop work, I take a break… Partly because moving cabinets around so much is tiring work and partly because my feet are flat and I can’t stand in one place very long without them hurting, so… I take a 5 minute break every hour. During this time, I whip out my iPod and play the only game worth playing on it: Solitaire. (Actually, the random music game is pretty fun, too, but it interferes with the music I have playing for real, so I don’t use it.) So there I was… Playing a good game and suddenly, something caught my eye. It was, to be quite honest, the most appalling and shocking thing I’ve ever seen in my life:

Do you see that? Well, DO YOU? Can you believe that? Three kings… Of course, they CLAIM it’s a randomly generated deck of virtual cards, but how can you be sure? This proves that Apple’s Solitaire code is nothing short of racist… The nerve! There it is, as plain as day: KKK. In fact, if you look really hard and stretch your imagination a little bit, you can just make out the black king is surrounded by the red kings. Clearly, this means that the black king is constantly oppressed by the red kinds.

Someone better let the NAACP know, eh?

This book must just be bad luck… Amazon finally sent me an email saying that they’ve shipped that English Okami Official Complete Works, and that it would arrive on the 17th. I checked UPS.com and THEY said that the delivery was rescheduled for the 13th (today). I make a habit of checking every day, because sometimes UPS can sneak up on us and drop stuff off without anyone seeing and it sits out there for days before someone stumbled across the box… Well, on the 9th, UPS updated their tracking system with this:

Adverse weather conditions? I’ve NEVER seen that happen before. But here it is the 13th and it’s saying the very same thing… Adverse weather conditions. Adverse weather conditions in Sparks, Nevada?

I don’t think so…
