It appears there ain't nothing like a good war to pick up presidential approval ratings and to get the economy going. Although, on the other hand, it does appear that the attack on the WTC was a bit better organized than I originally thought. I'm still unconvinced that attacking Afghanistan is the answer to our fears.

After much futzing around, I got the track lighting up in the basement yesterday. Well, except for the 45 degree connector that I decided I had to have and have to run out and buy this morning. I was rather hesitant about starting to work on the track by myself {LAZY}, but using the cabinet and the aquarium to hold up the other end worked as I anchored one end to the ceiling. Why I decided to put in the bend after I hooked the second track to the ceiling, I'm not sure, but I did get is sawed in half suspended from one end with the other end resting on top of the aquarium. Have to buy a flood or two. Used all my spare Menards bulbs -- I fill up their discount bags before their inventories with bulbs and the like. Hooked up part of two speaker connections, and jumped one of the bi-folds off it's track turning up the humidifier this morning. Yep, the furnace was running this morning. My little WeatherBug was reporting 33 fondly Fahrenheit this morning. Damn, got to lug the ficus in tonight.
