The last episode of Lost was 42 minutes and 1 second out of a traditional hour. So... that's 17 minutes and 59 seconds of commercials...and people wonder why I download episodes wholesale.

Eye contact is a good thing. There's a powerful strength there.

I got a lovely holiday card from

meredith and

heath, thank you! (I've kissed little Newt's noggin as requested.) :D

It's nice to have the whole house clean. It makes the whole place's vibe feel a lot more fresh.

A Tennessee Highway Patrol trooper may be fired in connection with a Blount County case in which a dead man was cited for traffic violations.

Another trooper has been cleared of wrongdoing in the case, THP said. Troopers Rick Harmon and Stephen Parsley were placed on paid administrative leave in October after evidence surfaced that a man killed in an accident was issued traffic citations 10 days after he died.

Parsley, who issued the traffic tickets, has been recommended for termination by Safety Commissioner Fred Phillips.

Harmon, the officer who investigated the accident, has been reinstated and is back on duty, according to Beth Denton, Department of Safety spokeswoman.

A court clerk discovered the citations, which prompted an audit into tickets in the area.

Authorities haven't commented on any motive for issuing a citation after a driver died.

This is a great summation of a lot of the hubbub about red states. Dang Thermodynamics!
