I have a good bit to say this morning. First - HOCKEY NEWS!
Bates Battaglia staying w/ the Toronto organization... there's no surprise there. Woohoo!

From: http://torontosun.com/Sports/Hockey/2006/06/29/1659266-sun.html
"Also returning to the fold is Bates Battaglia, who signed a one-year contract. The two-way deal pays him $500,000 if he plays for the Leafs and $95,000 if he spends the season with the Marlies."

Last night was a rather late one. After work we headed to Altoona for some sushi grubbing. From there, since we were already down the hill we headed over to the Meadows. I hadn't realized they took out the go-carts, what's up with that? Instead we peeked inside the slinky action zone (which stunk) and then played a round of mini-putt. An ice cream cone later and we were on our way back up the hill a bit late.

My SME keeps encouraging me to get a snake. I seriously don't want to take on the responsibility of another pet at the moment. Granted I never knew there were corn snakes out there with a beautiful tone of autumnal orange that get older and become a blood red. Definitely my speed.

From there I was working on the computer until wee hours, it seems that I have managed to catch a rather pain in the ass piece of spyware. How exactly do companies get away with installing malicious code on your machine and then offering to sell you the software to fix it? Ad-aware isn't catching this one but I'm working a few other things. The big test will be if it is halted when I log in this evening, I don't trust my attempts to repair work until I go a full session without an issue. If you're having issues with pop ups from "exitexchange" or "exittracking" and popups that look like helper windows from "WinAntiVirus" then you know my pain. Bastages. Needless to say I sent an email to the makers of WinAntiVirus that wasn't too nice. I don't expect a reply, but it made me feel better to detail what slime they were. Wish me luck.

Between the last two items, I had some interesting dreams last night. Trying to catch snakes and somehow ending up at the ex's mom's place and trying to be cordial and trying to fix computers. My mind is too easily distracted.

I didn't realize until I saw it on the news this morning but a good bit of PA is under water. I knew some areas were getting bad, I just didn't know the scale. Blessings and warm wishes to those I know in other parts of the state, I know the pain of floods all too well. If you need a place to be, I have a spare room.
