Yeah, my dad has to rethink his terminal illness plan now. He had always figured that if he were given a death sentence of a disease that he'd try to infiltrate Cuba and take Fidel down. Now he has to come up with something else to do.

Amongst other things, once again serious power outages in this neck of the woods.

I always figured it'd be Charles Barkley taking down Kim Jong-Un, given his level of disdain for Kim Jong-Il.*

So I got pretty spooked today when I got home, because there was a huge letter in the mail that has bolded YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW on it. But I guess it just turned out to be a US Department of Commerce / Economics and Statistics Administration / US Census Bureau survey... lol

Has anyone else gotten one of these before?

I think I called comcast back and blamed it on somebody else that must've been on my computer. The comcast guy could care less about the letter I got.
