random thought of the moment:
Worrycrats, as I call them, are a special breed of totalitarian bureaucrats who spawn rapidly as society is socialized. These people concern themselves with our health, education, welfare, auto safety, drug intake, diet, and what have you. Worrycrats today outnumber any other professionals in history, so rapidly have they proliferated.

Registration went smoothly, the race started on time, there was plenty of food (and beer!), and the door prizes […]

Pros:
It was a lot cooler than last year.
The […]
