1 AM....

Now I remember why I don't eat at Captain D's very often. My gut and my esophagus feel like they're on fire. And so I can't sleep.

In the meantime, I take an antacid and log on. And a thunderstorm just moved in. I should just log off and power down. Even though I have a UPS and my phone line is plugged into a surge protector. (Trust me on this. I lost a modem in May of '91 due to a lightning strike.)

Sure wish there was a way to harness all that lightning energy. A bank of fast-charge high-capacity capacitors front-ending a battery, perhaps?

I still hate liquid-concentrate iced tea. It tastes a lot better now than it did a few years ago, but I still prefer the fresh-brewed stuff.
