Lost My "B"
The little symbol by the blog name in the address bar has changed from the orange B for Blogger to a black square with red letters CM and something underneath. Does anyone know why or how this happened and how I could change it back? Any ideas?

Time Management Revisited
Happy Friday! Unlike last week's drunken Friday night at the local establishment, tonight is being spent at home ordering out pizza. I didn't really feel like writing, but since it has been a few days I thought there was at least one thing I could follow up on.
A few weeks ago I was worried about how I was spending my time. More accurately, what took up so much time in my day that wasn't work or sleep. I was having trouble getting my newspaper delivered in a timely manner for a few days and that made me rethink my time spent reading it every day and if it took up too much of my time. What I have concluded is that while I do spend time on it every day, mostly it is breaks and especially lunch at work that I read it. Without it, that would be empty time I would otherwise have to fill. In the mornings I could get myself to get up as much as a half an hour later, but in the end I think this is not the biggest time stealer I have and shall continue getting the daily paper for the time being.
The biggest time stealer I have is, of course, the internet. I have trimmed my time on the internet somewhat lately, but it's usually preferable to television to me unless there is a sports program on or I am uncomfortable in this chair (which, by the way, needs replacing). The more I can get around on two legs the more I realize the projects that have been put on hold because of my busted up leg so I think this area will take care of itself eventually. Especially as the weather warms.
So again I was stressed about something that will take care of itself with some minor changes, time and priorities. I hate OCD. Have a good weekend!

Just Some Link Updates
Onward, upward and ever evolving, I have a couple links to update on the right.
Brian Kellett doesn't drive an ambulance anymore, so since Random Acts Of Reality is mostly related to that subject he has decided to archive the site and move on to Brian Kellett (dot) net. I look forward to getting to know him more there.
My fave cartoonist, Dan Piraro, is moving his Bizzaroblog to a different site at the request of King Features. I'm not sure exactly why and I'm not sure he knows either, but his new site is Bizarro Blog! by Dan Piraro.
The new links are added to the list on the right, I'll remove the old links later.

Rallies Down The Road
Wisconsin has been national news lately as our new governor, Scott Walker, tries to pass a budget repair bill that effectively takes away the rights of most public employees to collectively bargain for their compensation. Just a mile and a half or so from my house rallies have been taking place daily, closing schools for most of last week (yet not really affecting our lives unless we drive down the isthmus). Senators have actually left the state to block passage. Well, you can easily find the story online if you wish to know more. Here's some pics from the last few days as rallies continue downtown, inside and outside of the capital building.
As for me, well...
