First… Stupid Global Warming. It’s going to cause snow on the ground for Memorial Day. Sheesh.

Secondly, when the power went out yesterday (see previous post)…it was because the tree in the parking lot got hit by lightning! Yup, it’s got a big jagged gash in it now. Bark and branches flew everywhere. Pretty cool.

Finally, I’ve just listened to Linkin Park’s new album, Minutes To Midnight. They finally did an album that didn’t sound like all their other albums. In this new album, they have some different styles and it’s a little heavier. They also apparently discovered the “F word” and lots of untapped anger, as they use it repeatedly. On the whole, despite the new “style” the album is weak. I give it maybe a C. It might grow on me later, but I’m glad this was on sale for $9.49 because it’s sooo not worth ten bucks.
