My first final for the semester was today. The rest will be next week. Today was Mechanics of Materials.

Oh and the local newspaper The Trenton Times had the article I was interviewed in on the front page and it came out on the Sunday paper. It has a picture of me and all. So I was famous for five seconds.

Welll tonight I head to the airport, moving back to NZ after a year in Europe, so with travel and jet lag, will probably be about a week.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

On three separate occasions while out driving, I saw or was behind someone who stopped for apparently no reason. No intersection, no pedestrians, no light or changing light. They just slowed to a stop, and then started up again.

This is why it should be legal to have a bazooka on your car, or a phaser, or a thingy that can pick cars up and toss them out of the way. I might have had too much caffeine today. :worried:

Sometimes while working, I pull over to double check an address, or stop to try and read one; I always make sure no one is behind me, though.

And you at least pull over.

Well, take an 18-hour nap, Teaos. And glad you're alright for the most part.
