c91. Today's highway 401 story: I drove past two trucks with stickers that read "WE HIRE SAFE DRIVERS 1-800-████████"
I hope that shows up right for the Mac and Linux users. It's meant to be solid black, as in the number was spray-painted over.
2. Today's Peak Oil story: I was discussing Peak Oil with a coworker, and he mentioned that "there's always doomsayers, but way back in the sixties they said we'd never be able to feed the world, and look at it now."
*blink*
3. Yay painting the kitchen!
