Randomness returns

Well I haven't posted in a bit so here is some more stream of consciousness.

- To copy off of something I heard pointed out by Brian McKenna, have you ever noticed that EVERY TIME you go into a Quiktrip someone is mopping the floor. I mean every single time. Do they have a designated mopper or do they take turns.

- I saw four scooters today. Four! And I don't mean kids or teenagers tooling around on little toys but real adults riding around on honest-to-goodness modern scooters instead of cars. Four in one day is a record for me. Maybe the high gas prices really are having an effect on soceity's driving habits.

- Fantasy football makes me so happy.

- I am a member of too many corporate programs (frequent customer, frequent flyer, frequent stayer) there are just too many passwords and account numbers to keep up with.

- I don't know why everyone doesn't use Firefox yet.

- I'm geeking out too much about the new Transformers movie. The fanboy in my is excited even though the moive-snob knows that Michael Bay will likely mess it up.

Election results?



Last night I went online to try and find the early results to the local elections. I think that maybe just maybe STLToday was having some trouble with their system. THis was the result listed for the Democratic primary for the State Auditor's position.

State auditor (Dem)
64% of precincts Votes Percent
Susan Montee (Dem) 124,596 0.01%
DARRELL WATTENBARGER (Dem) 1,583,560,327 99.99%
Updated: 8/8/2006 10:40:52 PM

Somehow I don't think 1.5 BILLION people voted for Wattenbarger. Especially since when I woke up the next morning the news said that Montee had won the race. That last 36% must have been a doozy.
