@4c:
New word: “affluenza” :o
I read this book years ago: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affluenza:_When_Too_Much_is_Never_Enough
It's a very interesting read that helped me to start thinking broadly and critically about our current preoccupation with growth and accumulation.

I just googled Huntsman spiders. My dreams are crushed now, because I'll NEVER go to Australia.
Seriously, they look badass but aren't likely to bite you. I find them quite fascinating and beautiful in their own way.
I do recall one humorous incident when I was driving at speed along the highway and a huntsman spider popped out from under the hood of my car and started scrambling across the front of my windscreen. I was trying to retain control of my vehicle at 100 km/h while also madly leaning over to quickly wind up the passenger side window so that it couldn't climb into the car.

Yeah these have been all over Fla for years, usually find them about the size of your hand in your house a few times a year. They are pretty aggressive too, as in diving at you, running toward you, pretty freaky shit. I had a fear of spiders, exposure to these cured me of it, because these feckers have a fight or die attitude

My flight to Charlotte, which was scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, has been cancelled. There better actually be snow on the ground when I get there. Whenever that may be…

Yeah, I know.
More annoying is that instead of non-stop flights between Houston and Charlotte, I now have a layover in Chicago. Talk about going around your ass to get to your elbow…
