Going down....

I just heard Jerry Falwell died today. And the world is a slightly better place. Nasty thing to say, I know, but I can't bring myself to shed a tear for that bloated bigot. The man represented what I consider many of the worst aspects of religion. He was an intolerant, self-righteous, arrogant slime. Ever since I heard him speak back in the 80's, he's made me cringe.
There is an animation in an episode of Monty Python which features a wide-faced pastor, grinning ear-to-ear, spouting some crap about how much his church loves you, bla bla... Then the grin spreads around his head and the top lifts off to reveal a devil swimming around the goo inside. He then tries to nail the top of his head back into place. I always thought of Falwell whenever I saw this.
Well, sir, enjoy the hell that you were so eager to condemn others to.

New stress

Ok, so we sold the house. Now I've got about 6 weeks left to find a new place near the atom mill, get all the legalities, money crap, and other junk done so I can move. The spousal unit has already found a place to stay while finishing school.
The problem is that the atom mill creates a pretty big demand for housing around here, so there isn't that much that fits the price range we're looking at. I'll be looking at a place in couple of days, and if it looks halfway decent for a reasonable price, I'll probably snap it up. Meanwhile, the fluttery insects are partying in the digestive tract.
