Well...I took my kids to the local Office Depot to pick up some school supplies...we had this massive list of stuff to pick up; 1" 3-ring binders, Sharpies, Kleenex, Three-Subject notebooks, Composition books, #2 pencils, Pencil sharpener and so an and so forth. Damn near cost me $80.
I figure this must be a racket perpertrated on us by the manufactures of said products because when I was a kid (oh no...Mr Wes is off on a "back when I was a child" rant) we went to school...we had a couple of pencils, a few notebooks with paper inside and that was that. They gave us our PE uniforms...my kids have to buy theirs...we had one pen and used the teachers pencil sharpener...my kids have thin pens, thick pens, colored pens, and fancy pens along with mechanical pencils, laser-beam pens and so I'm here to tell you the BIC company is probably all behind the "Back-to-School" movement...along with American Eagle for "back-to-school-clothes" and Eastbay for "Back-to-school backpacks... speaking of backpacks...when I was a kid we carried out books and it wasn;t so hard...the kids today haul around about 75lbs of crap in their bags all day...we're going to create a nation of people with lower back pain.
Anyway...it was a Back-to-School night for all of us. No mapping tonight to speak of. I played a bit of DoD and BF1942 late tonight. I figure we're pretty close to releasing DoD 1.1 due to all the things I've been hearing so it should be a fun couple of weeks on the PC front.
