You guys may or may not be a fan, but it's good to hear someone support my views on the sheer idiocy that congress passed--forcing me to break the law use compact fluorescents in year 2012.

In other news, my wife's hormones has mandated me to begin any number of home improvement projects--and I'm really amazed how much easier woodworking is when you have the proper tools. One of my mandates is to install customized shelves in all the girl's bedrooms. (Including a girl who currently resides w/in the womb.) So as long as I conceptualize what I want to do, it's really pretty dang easy to get the job done (with professional standards) provided you've got a decent miter-saw and circular saw. (The better tools just allow for wicked precision cuts. Although I kinda wish I would have spent a little extra on the ones with the laser markers...)
