P.F. Chang's At Last!

Ahhh Kung Pow, Shichuan, Lettuce wraps, how I love thee.

Kate and I finally at long last made it into our trendy chain Chinese joint. On a windy fall night we arrived at approximately 7:00. We were told that there would be a half hour wait. In reality it was probably only about 35 minutes.

I ate a red chili pepper at some point and went through a pint glass of Coke, and an additional glass of water in what seemed like seconds. After satisfying my hunger pains at least temporarily, I stared into Kate's pale blue eyes glimmering in the candle light. Then we discussed what the proper amount to leave for a tip was.

P.F. Chang's may be the type of place that is either reserved for week nights or off hours.

To add some more information to the "Plame Affair" saga, Judith Miller was in the news today. Miller would like legislation that allows reporters to hide their sources. I think this is crap because it would, A. Set them above the law, B. Allow ease in fabricating stories (how can you question a source that doesn't get revealed?).

The following is a link to the associated press article (CNN.com)

Wilma is threatening to be another ugly disaster. Seems like the jet stream should be shutting down any day now! Crazy crazy weather. The interglacial is over! (Yeah I know, the sky is falling too) How much is natural? How much is a contribution of human-kind? Difficult to say. Despite all of the unknowns if anything comes from this, at least the higher gasoline prices will demonstrate that decreasing our dependency on fossil fuel is a must, if not just for the economy, definitely for the well being of our planet.

Anyhow.. as Porky says, "Ba-De-Ba-De-Ba-De... That's All Folks!"
