Lunch conversation

Went out with the group today. It was my once a week thing. I wanted to pay a friend back for catching me last week. Funny how these things work out.

• Egypt
• Two simultaneous conversations on Egypt. This is a record.
• One of the guys just spent the last couple weeks or days or something in Israel. No one is talking about Egypt. There is nothing in the news or conversation.
• Our government wants to put in an internet kill switch just like they pulled in Egypt. Not going over well.
• Our government has been completely noncommittal on the subject. Basically, our leaders are waiting to see who wins.
• Killing the internet made things worse because people went in to the streets with nothing better to do.
• How long are they going to keep these people in the dark? The minute the internet comes back online, every one and their dog is going to upload some videos of what went on. No one is going to be held in a good light.
• Semi-flex time at work.
• Terrorists getting in to the U. S. and having pretty much free rein. Would killing the internet help, or hurt.
• Nisan trucks and towing stuff.
• Weather in general and the chance of snow or at least flurries on Friday of this week 2011-02-04.
