I've been in a pissy mood all weekend. Not sure why. Probably has to do with the sleep (or lack of it) that I've been getting. It's springtime, but it sure feels like winter up here. It's strange, my phone will adjust on the different time zones (it automatically switched to Central time while I was in Chicago, and switched back to Pacific when I came back to SF) but it doesn't seem to realize that time skipped ahead and we lost an hour today.
I'm in awe of the number of comments from last week. I was reading the paper last week, and Robert Woodward (the guy who broke Watergate) had spoken in Palo Alto. He wrote a new book, called "Bush at War", and in it, he said that when Bush was coming into the White House, the director of the CIA said basically that he should keep any eye on Osama Bin Laden, chemical weapons in Iraq and China, and that Bush's failure to take the warning about Osama which led to 9-11 is what is motivating Bush to take action against Iraq. I'll try and pick up a copy of the book the next time I'm at the bookstore.
SARS scares the beejeezus out of me. It's one of those times I wish I didn't have a background in biology. Of course, to add more fear is that I was just at the airport a few weeks ago, and up until this week they didn't have the authority to detain anyone who might have had it. Did you ever see the movie Outbreak? They have a scene there where some guy goes to the movie theater and sneezes, and you see someone else breathe in the virus. And that's exactly how this thing gets around. Of course, just like in the movie, this thing is being spread around by air travelers. Strange and scary how movies can be propehtic that way.
