Celebrating our nation's founding with heat exhaustion!

Omaha spend Fourth of July morning with Kouryou-chan, taking her to the local pool where she swam with some of her friends from her summer camp. I meant to get a lot done while I was home alone for those two hours or so, but other than dishes and some generic cleanup nothing much happened. I did get GameOS installed, so once again I can play Bloodrayne and Tron and other twitch and shooters. I cannot believe that it takes four hours to install Half-Life 2 with all of the updates. And GameOS XP is especially annoying; it doesn't like that I keep the clock attuned to GMT and use an offset under Linux, and keeps trying to adjust the clock. Plus all those "security updates!" Who are they fooling?

After they made it home, we rolled out to the Burien Parade so that Omaha and the rest of the family could walk with the local Democratic interests. Their new slogan is "All the democracy you can stand." My take on them is "How about, 'All the liberty you deserve?'" ( Long, with pictures )
