My spouse thought it was going to be cooler today; it is, a few degrees anyway. Actually the humidity is not as oppressive today as it has been.

There's a fascinating article in this week's Time magazine on the debate between evolution and intelligent design. No matter which one you believe in, I highly recommend it be read. My favorite quote within the article comes from Steven Pinker, Psychology Professor at Harvard University. He says, "morality comes from a commitment to treat others as we wish to be treated which follows the realization that none of us is the sole occupant of the universe." According to the book of Genesis, God made the universe in 7 days. But, is that to be taken literally and were those actual 24 hour days as we know them today? Francis Collins, the Director of National Human Genome Research Institute views the first 2 chapters as a "poem of how God created the world."

It's an epidemic!!!!!! Peter Jennings died of lung cancer, Barbara Bel Geddes (Miss Ellie) died of the disease and now Dana Reeve (yes, Superman's widow) has the disease. What is going on here? Hello people..........this should be everyone's wake up call to take better care of themselves.

Another ridiculous item are all of the jurors from the Michael Jackson trial coming forward and saying that they think Jacko is guilty. Then why the hell didn't you convict him? Three jurors have come forward so far yet none of them voted guilty. It's a little late now, don't you think?

Ok, I've ranted enough. Enjoy your day,
