With the Health Care decision of the US Supreme Court, the US has finally arrived where every other Western country has arrived long ago.
It was long overdue that the US gets a better health care system.

This past weekend, I drove out to Bryce Canyon National Park to watch the annular solar eclipse.
It was a great experience.
Pictures are here.

I recently got this amusing little piece of email from a motel chain:
As a Wyndham Rewards member, we hope you know how much we value you. But what you might not have known is that your membership is about to expire on NaN/NaN/NaN.
To keep your Wyndham Rewards membership active, you have to have a redemption or earning once every 18 months?which gives you -108 days to save your membership.
They obviously went with the most junior database programmer they could find. Probably somebody who just read a "Teach yourself database programming in 24 hours" book 
Update: They sent me another email, claiming that the previous email was sent in error:
So if you just got a message from us saying your account was about to expire, well, that's our fault?and we're extremely sorry for any confusion this may have caused.
They didn't address the "NaN" (Not a Number) database query error, though

The lawyer of Arizona sheriff nutcase Joe Arpaio faces debarment.
About time.
I hope this nutcase sheriff also gets a prison sentence soon. He is a disgrace to law enforcement. As a "Birther", he has already shown that he is detached from reality. Such a delusional character has no place in law enforcement.
Update: the lawyer, Andres Thomas, now is disbarred.
