Post-It's

Man, I just love the "Useless Knowledge" feature in the sidebar here. I came across this one just now: "The dread Black Plague in Europe was partially due to the belief that people thought cats were witches. Therefore, all the felines were hauled away and incinerated, which left the rats (who hosted the true culprits: plague-breeding fleas) to run around towns and villages and multiply. Ironically, cat lovers giving felines safe haven were a large part of those who survived." So fascinating!

I realized, I never went through with my plan of recording the amount of time I spent driving in a week. Unfortunately, I don't have a typical week to really do that. And being out of school changes the stats quite a bit. I don't actually know [and I'm having difficulty finding out] if I ever mentioned this plan here, but I did on my twitter. I wanted to do it because I do so much driving that I was curious how much of it was subtracting from my life.

I'm just going through all my tweets because I wanted it to serve as little post-it notes for things I would later blog about. I'm doing it now because I still don't feel like blogging about all the lengthy things I have planned to talk about. I apologize in advance if any of this information has been repeated.
