That's why we call it - Gary

So I finally caught the check engine light on while passing through Gary and I'm on the waiting list.  Every time I have to stay here more than an hour weird things happen.  First I wonder under what other circumstances would I find myself watching Gunsmoke, Bonanza, and The Big Valley?

Nope.  Only at Gary. 

Shortly after checking in I get reassigned to a red-eye going back to Youngstown, taking off later tonight to get there at 0500.  FML,  Hopefully they'll get to me soon so I get to sleep in my own bed.  This comes after a change of plans in Y-town on Saturday left me a 34hr reset there.  I've spent more time sitting still than I'd prefer.

This sucks.  Needs more All in the Family.

I remember seeing the article in Game Informer back in '08 for Aliens: Colonial Marines and thinking "Best movie of the franchise and Gearbox is making a game out of it.  Awesome."  At least I'm all pre-ordered on Steam.  6 days and the wait is over.

Technologic

So I've been working on a new post for about an hour and a half, typing about the weeks events and for some reason placing pictures in the editor vs how they come out was suddenly reminiscent of doing the same in Microsoft Word.  In other words, tell it to do one thing, and it does something else you couldn't do yourself if you wanted to.  I was done writing, and pasting a caption into the last picture on the post. Apparently Google thought Ctrl+V means "Erase entire page and don't save draft"  Funny because last time I checked it meant "Paste"

Luckily, I still had the last preview page open.  Albeit unable to copy any text.  At least the conventional way.  Salvaging it from the page source code would be like trying to pick all the cookie dough out of a gallon of ice cream.  And you don't get the satisfaction of eating either when you're done. So here you go.
