well, because everybody else seems to be doing it, (and they are looking pretty sweet) i was going to change my template last night, just so i looked different, too. (let me know when y'all are planning the jump off that cliff...i want to do it too!) but i was too lazy to change all the customizations, too (add my links, comment code, blah blah) so it's still the same. you think it's boring? it's looking to fluffy to me - you know, chick like. nice soft grey and peachy colors. maybe i will change it today.

wow am i not interesting this morning...normal life is just way too normal now. i should find a job that makes me travel.

oh, one more thing. just one. from my.ca.gov.

HOW TO HANDLE ANTHRAX AND OTHER BIOLOGICAL AGENT THREATS
many facilities in communities around the country have received anthrax threat letters. Most were empty envelopes; some have contained powdery substances. The purpose of these guidelines is to recommend procedures for handling such incidents.

suspicious Unopened letter or PACKAGE MARKED WITH THREATENING MESSAGE SUCH AS "ANTHRAX":
1. Do not shake or empty the contents of any suspicious envelope or package.
2. PLACE the envelope or package in a plastic bag or some other type of container to prevent leakage of contents.
3. If you do not have any container, then COVER the envelope or package with anything (e.g., clothing, paper, trash can, etc.) and do not remove this cover.
4. Then LEAVE the room and CLOSE the door, or section off the area to prevent others from entering (i.e., keep others away).

marked with a threatening message such as anthrax? i found this funny. hmm. if i get an envelope in the mail marked 'ANTHRAX' what am i going to do with it? rip it open and fling powdery substances into the air? geez. duh. and it will be labeled anthrax? well, that is at least helpful. now i know which mail i shouldn't open...
