If only we had antibiotics in 1918!

CNN.com – Witness to?1918 flu: ‘Death was there all the time’ – Oct 7, 2005: “Barry said vigilantes patrolled the streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico, making people wear their masks.
President Woodrow Wilson continued sending troop ships to Europe, something Barry describes as ‘floating coffins.’
Treatment was limited in 1918 — Carotty said people tried folk medicine, prayer, anything.
‘There were no antibiotics, there was just hope that you’d get through, that fate was kind enough that it wouldn’t hit you or yours,’ he said.”

I’m glad this historian took time to learn the difference between viruses and bacteria. What a dumbass.

Timmy Smith of DENVER?!

So, Timmy Smith (I wonder if he still goes by “Timmy?”) got caught (entrapped?) trying to sling some coke. The funniest thing about all this isn’t the fact that he used autographed pictures as a marketing tool, but instead that he lives and was caught in Denver. Those 204 yards he gained in the Superbowl were against a team called the Broncos.

(Personally, I think Elway set him up. )

Super Bowl Record Holder Formally Charged – Yahoo! News: “DENVER – Timmy Smith, the former

Washington Redskins running back who set a Super Bowl rushing record in 1988, was formally charged Monday with intentionally possessing cocaine with intent to distribute, a charge that carries a lesser penalty than previously announced.”

Please help me manage my sound clips

Ok, I use Audacity: Free Audio Editor and Recorder to manage and edit sound clips that I make. My biggest problem though is managing hundreds of sound clips. Currently, I have to open new file, browse for the file and then import it. Sometimes when messing around with a track I’d like to add about 20 or more different sound clips. This is horribly inefficient. Can anybody give me suggestions on what to do/try? Thanks in advance!
