My color and style settings are all still there. According to the support page this is a database problem which will be addressed "soon," so I guess for today I'll live with it.
I was thinking about totemic animals, this morning. What determines a totemic animal? I'm sure it's different for different people, but I saw this movie, "Brotherhood of the Wolf," a month or so ago, where the sidekick to the main character was this "Red Indian" shaman would tell people their totem animal after holding their hand for a second. I thought probably I would end up with a lazy, gluttonous pigeon as my totem. Wouldn't that suck.
I do tend to get wandering off on odd thoughts, sometimes. As I was waiting for the car to get inspected the other day the topic was metrics, time, and the base-10 number system. Why is metrics thought to be so cool? Because you can move a decimal and get the next increment up or down, very little work. But if we switched to a base-12 number system we'd have to redo all the metrics. And what about time? If we switch to metric everything else, will we evetually get metric time, so that our pay is easier to figure?
