Where have all the fudgesicles gone?

Okay, so I like fudgsicles, (pictured below) however for at least one month now, I can't find them. At Wal-Mart, Brookshires or Albertson's.
GOOD!!
I have looked every time shopping has commenced, but each time the search was fruitless.
Instead all I find is "NO SUGAR ADDED" - WTF? I don't want some no sugar added ice cream. I want the fatty delicious sugar filled chocolate on a stick.
GROSS!!
That and some 100 Calorie Bar Variety or Triple Chocolate.
GROSS!!
GROSS!!
I WANT MY DAMN Fudgsicles back. Is there some conspiracy that Tyler Texas gets no fudgsicles? Or are they being sold out before I get to the stores or are these stores simply not ordering them.

Well listen up Brookshires, Wal-Mart and Albertson's. I want my regular old Fudgsicles (although I would prefer that they not be old), and I want them now (or at your earliest convenience of ordering them. Thank you.

Normalcy

A sense of normalcy is back now, in that there are fewer people here today from what I have seen so far. For those of you who don't know UT Tyler's drop date was last Friday. If you're failing at this point, take the F, because that's all you'll get unless your professor is kind and will let you get an I to retake it for a grade. I digress. Beyond that UTTPD, blocked off half the parking lot in front of the Ratliff building today, not that I mind, I don't drive, but they blocked off almost all of the handicapped spots as well. Why on earth would you want to prevent the handicapped from parking? That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard. Again, normalcy though because if there is one thing UT Tyler never ceases to do it is make wonder who people can be so dumb.
I'll be honest too, IMHO, for some reason as people get more advanced degrees they tend to get a little stupider, not necessarily all of them, but definitely a majority percentage. Especially certain professors in the College of Business, although the Department of Computer Science definitely has a few interesting faculty members as well.

Shortwave Radio

I have a little silver radio. Normally I just keep it on the FM. Let's face it AM, not going to happen. However it also has a shortwave receiver built in. It can pick up FM, AM, and 7 SW channels, so 9 channels all together.

Let me just say it picks up some weird stuff in all kinds of languages. I use it mostly to see if I can pick up something German. I have had the opportunity to hear stuff from Canada, Central America, All over the US, but alas I have never any German programs. However, I am hoping this will change.

Normally I just use batteries in the thing, but once I go past the 4th channel I only hear static and strange loud noises. So I am going to attempt to plug it in the wall. It says it can use a DC3v and I have this cool little adapter, if I can find it, that can switch between voltages and has all kinds of plugs to use. Maybe that will give me better range.

Either way, it is a fun little gadget.

Moving to Linux

Welcome to Linux
Pop: A few million
A happy place to be!?

Of course, this would be a best case scenario road sign. Really I don't know what most people think when they here linux, but I hear, soft gentle waves on a beach and sunny skies and cool breezes.

So one could easily assume Windows is like a Nor Easter on a jagged rock overlooking the seas.

Of course, neither description is entirely true for everyone. Especially since neither is perfect and there are SO many different flavors.

Either way, I am happy I got someone to try, the most important step, to use a linux distro today. If they don't like it ok, If they do like it ok. I just want them to try it. Seriously try it and see. You may end up liking it a lot.
