Things I've Learned This Week...

~After attempting to watch Spies of Warsaw, a BBC special on the lead up to World War II, I've learned that I have absolutely no idea what happened during the lead-up to WWII.  Between Warsaw and Paris and Germany and Belgium I gather there was lots and lots of espionage and counter-intelligence but that's about all I gather.  Though, it may have something to do with the fact that the Nazis, Germans, French, and Russians all speak English with a British accent.  So far the Nazi uniforms are the only distinguishing factor of evil-ness.  Aside from that, I have no clue who's good and who's bad...

~Flirting and dating in my (ick!) 30s is exactly like it is in high-school and I'm still terribly inept at it.  I'm being told by someone at work that she feels a "love connection" between me and a guy but I'm not seeing it.  Apparently, the only thing I am seeing is some big creepy dude that decided to blow me a kiss while he was driving down the road next to me.  Eww!

~The Brits were really not fans of Margaret Thatcher.  The 40, 332 obituaries that I've read haven't really elaborated on that point however, there's a general air of strong dislike in each and every one.

~There is no Spring in Maryland anymore.  One day it's 40, the next it's 90. Where did the 60s go?

~I've not fact-checked this yet but apparently, there is a possibility of anthrax in mulch.  I'm fairly certain this is a one in a million case if it's even true(which I'm seriously doubtful of), but still quite concerning.  You'd think there'd be some sort of warning...
