Armed and Dangerous
I don't know how this slipped my mind, but I got a very important envelope in the mail on Thursday: my absentee ballot. Because I'm officially a French resident, I only have the right to vote for Federal offices, but you can bet that's plenty enough for me.
On a related note, my deep-seated desires must've must have been influencing me when I typed rm -f * in my home directory rather than within the data directory that I'd intended to clear out. This effectively and irrecoverably erased the various files I had sitting around. Though for the life of me, I don't even know for sure what I lost (must not have been too important).
At least I'd (on purpose) not used the -r option. Bush and Cheney should be so lucky.
