Air Conditioning! (Well, not quite)

Work went well today.

Afterwards, Dan and I went out and picked up a 12000 BTU air conditioner. Got it inside and realized that my window sill is not compatible with air conditioners out-of-the-box, so I have to get some wood cut to the proper dimensions. To add insult to injury, on Sunday I threw out a bunch of 2x4's when I helped Vikki move out on Sunday. Will have to cut some wood when I down in NJ on Sunday.

Talked to Mom tonight. Celebrating Suzy's birthday on Sunday. Jen's birthday is tomorrow.

The State of Ohio is introducing a bill to ban abortion. This one is especially interesting since it also makes it a felony for anyone to take a woman across state lines to get an abortion in another state that might allow it.

On a lighter note, AT&T is changing it's privacy policy to make it easier to avoid getting sued when it hands over your information to the government:

On a lighter note (really, this time), the University of British Columbia built a car that gets 3145 miles to the gallon. Yes, that's over three THOUSAND miles to the gallon. Very cool.
