But… If I come back in a month or two and read this again (hey–anything’s possible), it’ll be gone and I’ll get a page not found, so… JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli scientists said on Wednesday they had discovered a prehistoric ecosystem dating back millions of years. The discovery was made in a cave near the […]

Picasa has a little button for “Order prints”–I happened across it as I was playing with the program, discovering pictures I’d forgot I even had. When I clicked it, it gave me a nice, random list of places that will print photos. Since it was on my mind, I read some reviews and came to […]

Picasa for Linux, nice and neat in a .deb. I’m scanning my photo directory now and maybe someday, I’ll get all sixteen thousand organised so I can FIND what I want! 🙂 Jeezus. My total image count is 16 869. No wonder I can never find what I want!

Wildlife spotted at the course yesterday:  None. I had my camera with me.

I know I do. I must, because if I didn’t, that wouldn’t have been MY sorry arse out there pouring sweat and itching fiercely (sweating irritates my skin) on the golf course at 92F with a 100F heat index. It wouldn’t have been MY face so red from the heat that the cashier at the […]

P and I went to the pond last night; he practiced his drive (and lost his Avenger driver in the pond) while I dug for critters around the edges. I was looking for a leech, or some amphipods, but found neither. What I did find were some good-looking (relatively speaking) tubifex worms, and a new […]

Jeezus. One person says there’s a weight in a filter. Within less than a page, the weight is unprotected lead and they’re wondering how long it takes for lead poisoning to kill fish. Jump to conclusions much, do we? Baaa! Fuckin’ sheeple–not one logical thought or a single scrap of common sense among the lot […]

I went to the creek yesterday with a net and a plastic container so I could get better pictures of the little crayfish and identify them. When I saw them on the weekend, I could observe them only “in situ” because I hadn’t a net, and I was doing well to spot them at all, […]

Ha! Bitch-slap for you–not all snails eat plants and I’m not going to let you dis my li’l gastropod buddies with a broad generalisation like that. I may curse the MTS and hate the Marisas some days, and I always hate taking out their snotty globs of eggs, but I will stand up for their […]

In 1975, this was perfectly acceptable (though damned expensive!) Maybe somebody got rich selling it to losers who thought women would actually buy these lame lines. If it were being sold in stores in 2006, somebody’s lawyer would be getting rich. (Click to enlarge) Back cover (Jeezus, those descriptions! :lol:) There’s an mp3, but I […]
