The Morning Stream of Consciousness Rant

My AM tune after a short, rough night of sleep -- 

Feeling the cold today, warmer  than yesterday, 18 degrees, talking about the weather, so different from last year, so different from the norm, what's going on?

Furnace out again, dropped offline yesterday, different symptoms - wouldn't start before - now - no heat on a six year old gas unit, what's going on?

Java has a new vulnerability, computers must be addressed, first Windows, then Adobe, now Java, it never ends, what's going on?

Cats are crying and scurrying around, what do they want, what's going on?

Wife is abed, a burned out stomach from her meds, doesn't seem like she can eat anything, what's going on?

Parts aren't being recovered, parts are being scrapped, parts aren't being repaired, how do I read this screen, what's going on?  

Silence in headquarters, email volumes are low, conference calls have been cancelled, what's going on?

Got an ache in my head, flutters in my stomach, a sore neck on one side and a cramp in my calf, what's going on?

Didn't check the news, don't want to see what's bad

tiring of the economy

tiring of the killing

tiring of the politicians' talking

and the talking heads

They don't know what's going on.

No more than me.
