Tears

The Flickr 7/7 Community (formerly the London Bomb Blasts group) has got some amazing images from today’s terrorist attack in London. Some are cameraphone shots, some are screenshots showing worldwide coverage, some are pictures of TV coverage from around the globe, some are just images posted in support. This one is by Marvin(PA) and includes lyrics by Peter Gabriel: Fear, Fear, she’s the mother of Violence, Don’t make any sense to watch the way she breed. Fear, she’s the mother of Violence, Making me tense to watch the way she feed. The only way you know she’s there Is the…

London cow punk

I've added this to Flickr's London Bomb Blast group, along with the previous "mug shot." So many people are checking or uploading to Flickr right now that it's slowed to a crawl. I was astounded just now when I saw that the previous shot has already been viewed more than 4,000 times… I sent it at 8:30am CDT and added it to the group a short time later; it's only 11:09am now. Judas Priest! this image has already been viewed more than 1400 times. Flickr must be getting hammered. I've added a prayer request to the Holy Moly blog with…

London: You Can’t Beat The System

July 7, 2005 - By ginny

We’re all Londoners today. I’m taking my London Underground mug to work today just to remember the marvel that is the Tube, and to be in solidarity with the people of London. I asked my husband David if he was going to wear his beloved “Mind the Gap” T-shirt to work, but he thought that would be too flippant. I imagine things at work are going to be somewhat hairy until we figure out if we have many travelers in London – I just ran a report of all the international records we currently have yesterday, and from what I…

Insurance season is almost over, thank Dog

Avoid health sharing plans, they're not that great a deal. A friend had one while getting some pretty serious treatment, and he struggled to get the care he needed.

Charm Patch Quilt: On Point

From Sew Can She - this looks like a great way to use up charm squares and scraps that can be at least 4 1/2-5 inches square. The contrast fabric and on-point arrangement add good visual interest without being too busy.

Tea Towel Hems

Bought some tea towels for gifts, looking for tutorials for adding colorful hanging cuffs after hemming.

I lean toward Method 1, mitred corners. Will decide once the towels arrive in case the selvage edges are good quality.

Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

Text:

”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”
