Long wait times in Canada? Try being injured in an accident in Kentucky without insurance and after losing a job. Let's see how long you wait. What if you do get cancer, are between jobs, and can't get into Medicare without being automatically turned down more than once? Guess how long you'll be waiting for care, then. Go ahead, guess.

The meeting went *swimmingly* well. (For those needing to use translation services, that last sentence actually means, "The meeting was very cordial and rational.") The manager told me that this topic is "bringing people out of the woodwork". It appears that most of us are what I've heard called "middle-of-the-road".

There seems to be a lot of ignorance out there about historical symbols and political allegiances.

I spent the better part of this afternoon trying to get Outlook Express to work with my Insight BB e-mail address. I might stick with Yahoo. I'm already familiar with the interface, and I'm waaaay behind the curve on the updated OE 6.0! I might like it better, but I don't know.

Thanks to a tip from Pua, I've found out that the UN and the Red Cross (as well as other aid agencies) are preferring financial donations, so they can handle acquisitions. What I've chosen to do is to set up a collection drive somehow. I need to research this so it can be made a reality. (I checked to see if my local Co-Op grocery store had any sort of a drive going at all.

I have returned once more to that not-so-little cafe around the corner from my house. It's oddly quiet here. There are, once again, a lot of people in the darkened side room playing games. But, even the whirr of the cappuccino machine seems subdued. There is an oldies station playing softly on the intercom.

I found some new digs yesterday. I was on my way home from meeting some friends, and I hadn't had breakfast yet. Unfortunately, it was around four in the afternoon, and I had to be at work by five. So, instead of heading home, I stopped at a shopping mall to head to its food court.
It must have been my lucky day, because I got the one spot closest to an entrance.

Ok, so I haven't given you a humpday quote exactly. I just have to gush about the Isley Brothers. I mean, how many other bands that started out in 1957 are still going today?
