A problem with the climate control head has resulted in my 328i being in the shop over the weekend. $550 to get my A/C working again, though considering Iowa's sticky summers, it will be worth it. European Motorcars gave me an Altima as a loaner over the weekend and driving it sure reminds me why I love my BMW. Don't get me wrong, the Altima is a nice car and certainly beats having nothing available (though I mainly ride my bike around Indianola on these nice days), but man oh man, cornering, acceleration, cornering while accelerating, driving like a menace, none of these are as much fun in the Nissan.
Ok, so I'm being a little pretentious, but dammit, there should be a joy to driving! :) |

Ok, so I saw the Sum of All Fears tonight, which was good, except for the title. I mean, terrorists, Russians, a nuclear bomb - all scary, well except for the Russians. I think a more accurate plot for the title would have Jack Ryan fighting off Dionne Warwick, poorly designed web sites that make lots of money, and perhaps the Mothman. Hmm.
But seriously, Ben Affleck managed to be perfectly acceptable in this move, i.e. he didn't mug for the camera every few minutes like in most films since Good Will Hunting. The plot was nice and tense, popped along well, and should spawn some good further "younger Jack Ryan" sequels. |
