Middle America's Worldview

I was up early this morning. My wife is still throbbing with the root canal and unfortunately for my kids, their time to the dentist is today. Hence, up and at-em today. I just spoke with them and they are already done at the dentist heading to Walmart for a prize and some essentials. I have already vacuumed, cleaned the bird cage, animal box, and started the laundry. My next task will be mopping the floors since I have the rugs up. While I cleaned the bird cage ( outside hosing it down for good measure ), I filled the bottom with clean litter. On my treck back into the house (Note this is a large cage with wheels ) the bottom came out and litter spilled between the garage and kitchen tile. grr, I kicked the remaining bottom that clung to the cage. Yeah, that did good, the remaining litter flew in the garage more like a blanket of snow. Just more for me to sweep up. I managed to reapply the bottom and clean up my mess, moving on. But that's how it started this morning.

During this I also was running a script within a couple of facilites to populate the PIDX. Basically the script auto-loads patient information as opposed to someone manually keying them in by hand.

Well frail, I just received an IM stating that the one doing support today at work has a virus. I will be taking it up for a bit. Oh well. Yesterday, a facilty had a virus that required them to shut down all their routers ect. so as not to contaminate the network for the other hospitals and corporate.

News: This morning I also woke up to hearing of yet another terrorist attack on Russia. This time the douchbags have taken a school. Reportedly, anywhere from 200 to 400 captives, mostly kids. Unreal. Yes, they are Czek Islamic terrorist. I think we all should have compassion and be outraged for the families over there having to go through this horrific ordeal. Can you imagine this occuring here in the United States? I have no doubts if our current President, and prayfully our next, didn't take on the offense on any/all terrorist that scenario could very well be playing out here today as opposed to over there. The terrorist even stating if anyone of them are shot, they in turn will kill 50 children per soldier killed. I pray for the families and that country. Because it seems pretty relentless on them this week.

I watched the RNC last night again and was impressed with Arnolds speech. He was the one stealing the show, it seems. I felt bad for the Bush girls. They were obviously nervous and frankly their attempt of humor fell flat. Oh well, they did say it was their first public appearance. While I listened to Laura Bush, I was only thinking, this lady sounds intellegent. She stumbled over a couple of words, but her message was very articulate and seemed to me, a bit long, even though it was only 22 minutes.
