Semi-random thoughts

• I just noticed that I've passed the 7th anniversary of this blog.
• My monthly health insurance premium now exceeds my mortgage payment! 
• The software that categorizes news stories is confused about recalls. Stories on product recalls are appearing in my political news summaries. 
• A couple of my friends had their Facebook accounts hacked. They appeared to be posting recommendations for a weight loss drug, saying things like "I've lost 20lbs. in 3 weeks!" Ironically, both of them are dancers. If either of them lost 20lbs. she'd be on death's door.  All of their Facebook friends know this, so the ads are totally ineffectual.
