Found Katey's Cute Cache today. Swans are huge compared to geese, and I saw a lobster there in the lake, to boot (ok, it was probably a crayfish). Interesting to note that virus-laden images might not necessarily be just TIFFs or JPEGs, but might possibly be found as GIFs, too.

I've been predicting several things over the past couple of years, some of which are coming to pass, such as the possibility of viruses in non-executable files (i.e., images), the possibility of fax viruses (a pattern on a piece of paper that when digitized [faxed] turns into executable virus code on a fax server), and even nuclear batteries. Of course, I didn't see the second Mt. St. Helens volcanic eruption coming...

Tried a can of Great Values corned beef hash, the third brand in my quest to find some really good hash. I can't recommend Great Values, however, as it was much more 'fatty' (oily) than the other two brands I've tried in the past. The taste wasn't necessarily lacking, but it wasn't stellar, either. During the cooking process, however, all of our family members except for baby Jared were splashed with hot sputtering cooking grease, so watch out - this is a dangerous foodstuff.

Misti made a wonderful coffee cake tonight which we enjoyed after FHE. I forgot to mention the games we played last night: first Misti thought she'd teach me a thing or two about 'Phase 10', but the tables turned and it was I that schooled her in the subtle nuances of the last phase. My prowess was quickly shattered, however, as little Becky joined us for a game of 'Uno', and totally slammed the both of us, beating us by a wide margin.
