The family will be weeping...

The family will be weeping...  Me too...  Via reader and friend Simon M...

Seven year old singing a Billie Holiday number...

Seven year old singing a Billie Holiday number...  Even with some of her teeth missing.  Awesome!  Something tells me we'll be hearing more from Angelina Jordan...

A hole in Mars...

A hole in Mars...  Crater exposes a Martian cavern, which would be a very likely place for any life on Mars to be hiding out.  Via APOD, of course...

Back home, for now...

Back home, for now...  I've returned from my latest adventure in Utah, and am back in our home in Jamul.  During the past 10 days I was very busy meeting with lawyers, water rights engineers, various government officials, inspectors, appraisers, realtors, insurance companies, construction companies, plumbers, and a variety of future neighbors – all in pursuit of due diligence on purchasing our new home there.  Well, the due diligence is finished, and we're on the way to closing on April 4th.  I'm going to be “camping” in the house for a few weeks while we get some repairs and changes done.  Then we move!

One big challenge we have is how to move our animals (4 dogs, 9 cats) 850 miles.  Anyone have experience with this, and advice?

Dr. Seuss, rewritten and read by Sarah Palin...


Dr. Seuss, rewritten and read by Sarah Palin...  Ted Geisel (the real name of the author of the Dr. Seuss books) was a liberal with some strange ideas, so I'm pretty sure he wouldn't like Sarah Palin's rewrite.  But I do!
