(Untitled)
I has iphone, and now I have an LJ app! And, uh, a lot of other ones! I will never look up again, will I? Not that the weather out there is worth looking at - there was a sodden hawk in the tree out back, but otherwise it's nor'easter horrid out there. Time to make something like chili :).

Self-interested politics
For Massachusetts folks! If you're willing to call or email your House Rep, the current proposed House Budget cuts MassDEP's funding by $6 million, which would mean about 120 more layoffs (certainly mine).
