The turkey has been in our aging Brinkmann smoker since 09:41 EST. A cold, but not too windy day will help the smoking process, and make this year’s bird the best ever. Until next year, that is.
Happy Thanksgiving!

And my happy little laptop farm now proudly shows:
[knelson@gypsy ~]$ cat /etc/fedora-release
Fedora release 10 (Cambridge)
[knelson@gypsy ~]$
I’ll sheepishly admit I didn’t need to download and burn F10 isos. But I did, anyhow. That’s the old school in me. The F10 Beta got to F10 Cambridge via regular “yum update”’s, as I thought it [...]

I got home tonight, all a-tingle about the prospect of upgrading at least one of my home boxes to Fedora 10, the official version of which shipped today.

No secret to readers here, I’m an AFC west fan when it comes to gridiron extravaganzas. Specifically, I love the Kansas City Chieves. With their 1-10 record, going on 1-100 for this season, Kansas City is not gonna be a playoff team this year.

One of my favorite weeks of the year looms on the horizon: Thanksgiving week. I’ve taken off the post T-day Friday for more than 25 years; at that time, I was an itinerant computer systems installer, and the PTDF was spent, ahem, doing paperwork, as official timesheets will show. Truth is, all the paperwork [...]

Via The Agitator, a civics exam which was administered to 2500 people. The average score by elected US public officials on this exam was a paltry 44%, while the general public clocked in with 49%, an F in most of the schools I attended1.
I don’t understand how anyone, regardless of station, can’t do better [...]

This was clipped from the right sidebar here in tbbs-land just a minute ago:
The windchill is 22o or so now. Into the teens tonight.

As I prepare for the NASCAR winter, I salute this year’s champions:
Craftsman Trucks: Johnny Benson, won by 7 points, in a race for the ages.
Nationwide Series: Clint Bowyer, Kansas legend, driving for Richard Childress Racing. Won by 21 points.
Sprint Cup: Jimmie Johnson, by 60 points over Carl Edwards. Jimmie’s 3rd consecutive championship, tying [...]
