[Mostly O/T] Flux

It is amazing to me how fast time is slipping by. The year will be over before we know it, and good riddance. 2009, GTFO.

I was rather looking forward to playing a little online fake money poker last night. Didn't happen. The usual impediment - a flaky internet connection - shot that idea down and I ended up with a book instead.

The November Nine will be reduced to one world champion some time in the next few days. I don't care very much who wins, but it would be a good thing for the game if Phil Ivey did. Or maybe I'll root for Joe Cada since he's from Michigan.

If I'm reading between the lines correctly, the president is today going to sign an extension of the new home buyer tax credit - with expansion to include a juicy tax credit for certain buyers who aren't 'first time' purchasers. I have to say I'm pretty happy about this, if only because I hope it'll stimulate demand a bit. Inventory around here is pretty out of balance with lots of sellers and not many buyers. Of course with everything else happening (20% unemployment, tight credit markets) it might not make a difference at all. But for sellers it's a small ray of hope.

The winter gathering of bloggers is about a month away and related posts have started to pop up here and there. If you're on the fence about going, go. It's not too late and you won't regret it.

Last and most certainly least, stay classy wal mart shoplifters.

Based on the pictures? I say let the women have the curtains. The makeup seems like a waste though.
