tabular_rasaYesterday Jessica came up to the lake. We rode on the waverunner, and went sailing on the Hobie Cat (again!)-- it's been such perfect weather for it! The past few days have been very windy, and right on our shore, too; in fact, today it was so cold I didn't even want to go out of the house, let alone out on the waverunner! The waverunner was also lots of fun with Jessica because there were so many boats out-- so many wakes to jump! Now, I'm not one of those assholes who drives right up behind boats (and tubers, even!), just to catch their wakes-- but I did enjoy having some of those extra waves out there ^_^
Today was very lazy, but, eh . . . as I said, it was cold.
Amusing point of the day: On my NationState, Katzenland, I recently was confronted with the following issue/debate/law:
The latest "Harry Potter" book to hit schools across Katzenland has stirred up the greatest controversy yet.
The Debate:
"I quite enjoyed the book, until I got to the part where Harry summons evil demons to do his bidding," says religious leader Roxanne Barry. "Now that's just wrong. We need to restore some sense to this debate, by which I mean we should remove this book from the shelves, salt it thoroughly, and burn it."
Teachers union President Larry Winters says, "Come on, the book is fantasy! And it's a damn good read. I'd like the government to issue a statement of support for our teachers and librarians, so kids can enjoy good books without interference from religious wackos, like Christians."
I had to choose one or the other, or dismiss it. I was quite disappointed; normally, with a law about banning things, they give you three options: ban, don't ban, or make compulsory. They forgot the compulsory law, for this time! Now, I haven't made anything compulsory in Katzenland-- things are free and available and even publicly funded, but never compulsory-- but this was the ONE THING I would have required! Damn! Lol . . .
