I just got some spam with the subject header “Visa card inside”. Wow. Neat trick. Either that, or it’s a really tiny one.

My weblog is most useful, I’ve found, at reminding me when I did something. (I have a good memory except for important things like dates and figures.) I was glancing at my time card this afternoon, wondering why I only worked six hours on March 1. It took a quick trip to my archives to remind me that that’s when they came to fix my cable modem. It’s sort of like last year, when I was doing my taxes and needed to consult my weblog to remember when I’d moved across town into a new township. These little notes don’t serve a lot of purpose while I’m writing them, but they can be invaluable when I’m trying to remember the details of my life.

Okay, the robins arrive and it snows, but ducks — that’s a pretty sure sign it’s spring, right?

Of course, I did almost hit one with my car this morning…
