A big pat on the back for the denizens of Oklahoma, who had the mettle to enact a law that will deport illegal immigrants when arrested. The law, which goes into effect Thursday, also is rumored to cut off government funding for illegals as well. I heard this first on the radio yesterday, where in Tulsa alone, 23,000 illegals are leaving in droves. Again, I’m not against people coming to this country to make their living, but there are rules in place that should be followed for doing so. (See various previous posts on Nick, Phoenix, and my original immigration rant.)

I’ve tried to write a new post three times now, and just couldn’t get the traction. But here’s the highs and the lows since Friday:
Furnace breakage costs just under 600 dollars. (most decidedly low)
Repair included a workman’s knee going through the sheetrock in the ceiling of our laundry room. (limbo low)
Furnace is fixed. (coming back)
Repairman for ceiling is working as I write this. (better)
Played Super Mario 64 all weekend with wife and kids. (nice!)
Joined a new church and immediately was swept up in the choir. (warm feelings inside)
Listened to some BOL, TWiT, and Amber (which is back from hiatus, yay Amber). (oh yeah, love that tech)
So all in all, I’m in an upswing. I see Brian has played hours of Gutiar Hero III, so I expect a review from him soon, and maybe a chance to play with him if I can get over to his house soon.
