Scientific method

I swear to God I'd be a happier person if I could get a good night's sleep.  The miserable sleep patterns are back, and I don't know whether it's the humidity or my mattress that's the problem.  Maybe sleeping on a different mattress will help, so tonight I'll thrown the old futon from my couch on my bed, and see if there is any kind of improvement.  Went back to yoga yesterday too, which I hope will help on the meditative front as well. 

Who needs reality TV when you have reality?

Ten minutes ago, I heard a thump and the sound of crumpling glass from outside. My roommate and I rushed to the window. We were just in time to see one smashed up mini-van, a sedan with a smashed front end backing away, and two police officers with guns drawn, pointing the at the driver screaming "stop the car now!" Quite honestly? I was scared, because the car wasn't stopping and the officers were yelling louder. In the end, the car stopped, and the driver was hauled out at gun point and handcuffed. Other cruisers quickly arrived on the sceen, along with fire trucks and ambulences. The driver of the mini-van looked OK, but they brought a stretch out anyhow. The driver of the crashing car must have been stunned, and was pretty docile by the time they forced him into the back of the cruiser. Mind you, I'd be pretty docile too with pistols waving in my face.
