Did something supremely dumb today. Heated myself some breakfast at around 8:30, and left the oven on. At about 15:15, I discovered that it was still on. After getting home with the groceries. D'amnit!

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
