If the floodwaters don't get ya, the identity thieves will. I guess that wasn't his most pressing worry.

Here's Some Blogorrhea For Ya
Just saw the term "blogorrhea" in Time magazine. According to the UrbanDictionary it means:
To write a blog entry just for the sake of posting an entry, not because you have anything interesting today.
Used in a sentence:
I couldn't really think of anthing good to blog about, so my last post was real blogorrhea.

Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head
If I remember the song right, the next part is about going to bed, I think. Or maybe it's about big feet?

The Only Mistake Is To Do Nothing: Procrastination
Good article on Kiplinger's site via Slackermanager:
Career Advice: Just do it
I once asked a group of top executives how many of them consider themselves to be serious procrastinators. Just 25% raised a hand. But when I put that question to groups of unemployed job seekers, 80% of the hands went up. That's consistent with what I've found in my 18 years as a career coach: Too often, procrastination can kill a career.
Many people learn procrastination in school. They wait until the last minute to write a paper or to study for a test, but, thanks to grade inflation, they still end up with a decent grade. That gets them by until they land in higher-level jobs, where there's no such thing as grade inflation to bail them out of their bad habits.
Some people procrastinate to avoid failure.

Keeping the Stationary and Towel Monogramming Costs Down?
Did you know that Belgium kings are always named Frederik or Christian? It's true:
Baby born to Danish royal couple
Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and his Australian-born wife, Crown Princess Mary have had a baby boy. The child, tipped to be called Christian in line with royal tradition, becomes second in line to the throne.

Man Loses 1 Ton Cheddar in River - Oops!
From Slashfood:
A team of divers armed with $5,000 worth of sonar equipment recently attempted to locate roughly one ton of cheddar cheese dropped into Montreal’s Saguenay River last October. After hours of searching the Baie des Ha! Ha! (honest), the divers still had no luck.
*****
The article talks about how a sailor raved about some cheese he'd found in the lake (something like that). Who eats cheese they find in water. Ew.
