I was connecting to my cow-orkers through RDC across a VPN, recording HDTV in EyeTV on a full hdd. My 1st restart since the move 1st panic!

Well folks, it actually happened to me. I got the grey restart screen of death kernel panic.

Hillary Under Fire

Ode on Hillary in Bosnia

by Orson Scott Card

"We landed under sniper fire!
We ran for cover, terrified!
The bullets flew around my head!
I thought for sure that I was dead!"

She told the tale in hopes it meant
We'd vote for her for president.
Instead we looked for evidence
Of Hillary's experience,
And found that not a bullet flew.
Her thrilling story wasn't true.

Because we know she never lies,
I ask, how did this tale arise?
Was it a dream, and when she woke
She thought that it was real?
Or was the story just a joke,
And no big deal?

Did drinking too much mocha make her
Fantasize this tale?
Or was it from a line of coke,
A furtive toke of the kind of smoke
That Bill did not inhale?

Oh hush, right-wing conspirators!
Your reasons suck! Now here is hers:
She just misspoke.
She meant to say
She landed on a sunny day
And a little girl read a poem aloud
And Hillary waved to the friendly crowd.

But campaign days are oh so long,
And being a woman, she isn't strong,
So the story simply came out wrong.

How could you think that Hillary lied,
When it was such a small mistake,
The kind that anyone could make?
No joke, no toke of smoke, no coke,
No dream from which she never woke --
She just misspoke.

You've heard that what goes up comes down
And where there's smoke there's fire.
Well, when you visit Hillary Town
The word "misspoke" means "liar."

Chew on this...

Read this:

My cousin's blog


now you understand this:

Of course, the closest book I had at hand was the manual for my driver's training class:

"Las luces antiniebla delanteras deberán utilizarse simultáneamente con las de posición al menos y las traseras sólo podrán encenderse cuando lo estén también los de carretera, las de cruce o las antiniebla delanteras (15.3.RV)

So chew on that for awhile. See if you can translate it into plain English. (I recommend translating it into plain Spanish, first.)

Note: The Spanish government is no longer allowing U.S. citizens to get their Spanish driver's license without first completely an expensive driver's training course, even if they already have a valid D.L. from the States.
