Try a generator, Steve. And backup Internet access (dialup). My home is my workplace, so I need both.

Health care is a very tough problem. As I get older, I come to understand that our employer-sponsored (some employers, anyway) system doesn't make sense. Unfortunately, neither does government-sponsored universal health care. It must inevitably lead to rationing, because health care is a finite resource (Canada rations through the delays described by FB, for example). The Massachusetts experiment is interesting, but there are too many vested interests in the way we do things today to have radical change.

It should be pretty easy to beat me :) I had an awesome December which made me cocky enough to think of the challenge and then a decent January, but February was a dearth of editor's picks. Although I did receive one from you. :)

So... yeah, I am woefully off pace to get to 50. Maybe 15. :)

Speaking of CoPF, where is your entry this week? Double digits might be a good one.

Thanks for mentioning The Finwikian! :) Tonight we were visiting relatives. No blackouts there, but we drove home through a major outage. It was crazy, past whole neighborhoods without a single light (except from the occasional car circling it). It made me wonder about how things had been before electricity was so widespread.
