New Year Resolutions
I don’t do them anymore.
But, the proprietor of A Moveable Beast does and has already tackled 6 of them.
Your task is to pick the 6. Perhaps she worked on number 14 on New Years Eve.
Tort Reform and Thimerosal
If you haven’t been over to Wampum in a while now is a good time. Dwight Meredith has some informative posts on the facts of tort reform here and here.
And how about that Bill Frist: working hard for his constituents Eli Lilly.

Mars Landing
Scott just reminded me that Spirit has landed on Mars and is communicating. This is what the landing spot looks like. More pictures at NASA.
I just read Mars Crossing by Geoffrey Landis. Based on the above picture he did a great job of capturing the Martian Terrain.
Customer Service
I try to avoid McDonalds and the other fast food folks. Michael Jennings, though, has found a good reason to return to McDonalds:
But I was quite amused by this outcome. McDonald’s really do encourage their employees to provide the best possible service to customers. They really want to make a good impression so that customers return. This will increase their profits, oddly enough. In this instance an employee was so determined to provide me with good service that she found a way within the company’s rules to give me my food, even though it was my fault that I did not have enough money with me, and although the rules didn’t initially appear to allow it, and even though I wasn’t even remotely upset, it being my fault after all. I was impressed.
I’ve always had pretty good service at the fast foods but this is clearly exemplary.
Maybe it is just a British thing…anyone have similar stories from the US?
