I was sympathizing with the checkout chick at home-depot today... Can you
imagine working someplace that plays christmas music 24 hours a day, 7
days a week, since mid November?!!!???!
On the other hand (and to bring us slightly closer to topic), I got my
200Amp load center installed and wired up. Now I just need to get an
inspection (ummmm.... Yup, thats a load center.... Your wire is the
improper shade of red, you'll have to replace it all...), and get PSCo
out to hook the feed wire up. Then I'll have an extra 80Amps to run
VAXEN!!!!!!

Actually, the Christmas holiday traditionally is a
12-day period from Christmas
Day to Epiphany. Unfortunately, Americans seem to dislike it so much that they
compress it into a single day. To make up for it, they start the agonizing
period of promotional advertising in late September, nowadays. I, for one,
think it should be banned from print or electronic media until after noon on the
22nd of December, so one doesn't tire of it all before the fact. <sigh>

Happy Holidays!
Holiday??? I've spent the last 2 days with soldering iron and logic
analyser fixing HP plotters....
Of course I enjoy doing that, which is why I was doing it. But it's also
what I do most of the other days in the year, so it's hardly a holiday ;-)
Anyway, although it's a bit late, I hope all members of the list had a
happy Newtonsday/Midwinder/Christmas (or whatever you decide to celebrate
at this time of year).
