A picture named cabinet.jpg

Me and my cameraphone

(Warning: Details of boring, bourgeois domestic existence follow.)
I was out shopping for a chest of some kind to put in our dining room. I was describing one over the phone to Kate, but wasn't sure I was really getting the point across. Then I had the following genius inspiration: Take a phone picture  and send it so Kate could see what I was talking about. That's what I did, and now the chest of some kind is in our dining room. Forget Iraq and al-Qaida and WMD's -- this is life-changing stuff.

Out of compliance

Now here are some folks who know how to sling effective lingo: Our friends at Combined Joint Task Force Seven.  They will not falter. They will not fail. And futhermore:

"CJTF-7 conducts offensive operations to defeat remaining noncompliant forces and neutralize destabilizing influences in the Area of Operations (AO) to create a secure environment in direct support of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). Concurrently, conducts stability operations which support the establishment of government and economic development to set the conditions for a transfer of operations to designated follow on military or civilian authorities."

"Remaining noncompliant forces." Beautiful.
