Talk about change. Saturday we had a high of 73 degrees with bright sunshine and a bit of wind; yesterday our high was 68, with the same bright sunshine; today it's snow flurries outside my window with a current temp of 36, on its way to all of 46. And it's gray, gray, gray. Not to mention cold, inside as well as out. I've mentioned this before: RVs are not very well-insulated. They're drafty as Hell, as a matter of fact! I'm gonna burn a lot of propane today and tonight...
Late last night or early this morning, depending on your POV, I was singing the praises of Tylenol Cold and Flu – Severe. I won't take it ALL back, but I have noticed TC&F-S isn't very good at eliminating sinus blockage. While I wouldn't call it pain, I am suffering from considerable pressure behind and below my right eye...pressure that makes me think I'll have a huge mess to clean up if and when the sinus dam breaks. It's that bad. But, otherwise, I'm thankful the stuff works as well as it does. My dosage had worn completely away by the time I woke up this morning, and the difference between being ON the drugs and OFF them is astonishing.
Here, via The Captain, is an amusing bit of alcoholic Aussie fluff. The site will prompt you to download an Active-X control to view the vid; I did and can vouch for its safety. The vid is quite clever, but I'm not sure it will sell any beer. Maybe in Oz...
And here, via my friend Catherine in SFO, are the results of the 2005 WaPo Mensa Invitational, where "readers (are asked) to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition." My favorites:
Ageism! I protest! As a semi-geriatric American, I find this offensive! (Just trying to see what it's like, you know, to be one of The Perpetually Offended.) (via Gerard Vanderleun)
Also from Gerard: Say Good-Night to the Dragon Lady. Hard to believe.
And it's still snowing. Kinda pretty, as long as it melts when it hits the ground. So far, so good.

2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an ass.There are 18 in all.
9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
