Idle thoughts of a relatively libertarian Republican in Cambridge, MA, and whomever he invites. Mostly political.

This will be my most worthless post yet. Even more worthless than the rabbit joke.

I got a new watch a month or two ago -- back when I was running and wanted to know how fast -- and it has a light button at the bottom right corner. I'm used to the light being on the top right corner, and this morning, trying to see the time in the dark, I hit what is labeled only as the start/stop button, which purpose it serves in the stopwatch mode (and, as I indicated, the purpose of its acquisition). It beeped at me when I did that, and I'm not sure how long or how many times or in what pattern I must have pushed it, but every hour since, on the hour, it beeps. Thus am I posting this worthless post just past the top of the hour instead of fixing the partial bust problem, because my train of thought -- which runs on fragile rails, mind you -- has been shocked like in the Harrison Bergeron story. (Vague weird references are fair game for posts you've been warned not to read.) (Even more so.) I can't figure out how to stop this stupid watch from doing this. Depressing the start/stop has been tried, and that's pretty much tapped out my creativity.

Anyway, I think I know where the instructions are, and if I can't find them tonight, I'll just get a hammer.
