But intriguing and a little disturbing, although it could be just a little hysteria mixed with superstition. However, it seems to be a fact that seven policemen sent to the crash site had to be given oxygen and hospitalized. Mystery illness strikes after meteorite hits Peruvian village – Yahoo! News LIMA (AFP) – Villagers in southern Peru were struck by a mysterious illness after a meteorite made a fiery crash to Earth in their area, regional authorities said Monday.Around midday Saturday, villagers were startled by an explosion and a fireball that many were convinced was an airplane crashing near their…

The below is a real letter to the editor of the Salt Lake Tribune. The writer urges her fellow young people to get off their butts and vote, because “Yes, the people who take arthritis meds and think that gardening is a snazzy hobby are the ones who make your decisions.” As it happens, I’m probably on track for arthritis meds in a few years, as I’m starting to notice mild pains in my fingers, and my shoulders generally ache all the time. And this year I got into growing vegetables, in a minor way. And in a few days,…

I went to check the Maui News site for any report on whatever was going on in South Kihei last night – at least 7 or 8 patrol cars screamed past with sirens and lights and all. Someone at the condo explained it was probably a “local fracas” at a beach park south of town. When I checked the site, I wondered if LOLcats are either running their server, or hacking it: they can has website probz. SiteMechanics Lite Engine been not initializes yet!

Yeah, yeah, hate us because we’re in Maui, AGAIN. This time our karma must not have been good, as we had a series of mishaps as soon as we landed at Kahului. The door to the plane was stuck or the jetway wouldn’t extend, so we were stuck for about half an hour in the aisle. Then the car rental went really smooth, except that Avis gave us a bigger SUV than we’d hoped for, although their Preferred Express service is AWEsome. I couldn’t reach anyone at the condo who could tell us what our unit number was – I…

Via ***Dave :: A Manly Man Doing Manly Things with Other Manly Men! I can’t resist this list, because I’m not a girly girl, and some of this stuff is really good to know: Les points to a Popular Mechanics article on 25 Skills Every Man Should Know. How many of them do I know? Let’s see. 1. Patch a radiator hose — Is duct tape, the handyman’s friend, involved? Then probably yes. 2. Protect your computer — Yes, though David handles this nowadays 3. Rescue a boater who has capsized –My knowledge is based on Gaudy Night: “Trim your…

I really didn’t care for Emanuel’s tactics during the 2006 race – the progressive blogs were complaining about this very stuff back then, and it irked the hell out of me. I was watching Tammy Duckworth‘s primary race at the time, and fuming about how she was getting lackluster support from the DCCC, probably because of her position against the war (and how striking she was in military uniform and prosthetic legs in campaign photos while campaigning on the issue). She’s doing good work for veterans now, but she could have been so much more effective in Congress. I hope…

David reported a problem from the nether regions of the house, a frightening space where anarchy and chaos reign. The agitator on the washer wasn’t agitating, much as an aging Yippie slows down, plants wine grapes and mellows out. So we went looking online for help, and found several intriguing but daunting methods for fixing the washer. Even with the helpful step-by-step photos I found, it seemed a little beyond our maximum allowable levels of patience and frustration. So then we wondered if it was worth running around trying to find the agitator/cam dog repair kit our diagnostics indicated, and…

The hell with humans – what about our beloved little cat Riley? He’s chipped, though the studies seem to have been just on mice and not on cats or dogs. Is he at risk? I’ve just fired off a query to Avid, the manufacturer for clarification or comment. Their email address was not easy to find, but turned out to be on their online ordering page. It’s info@avidmicrochip.com Also, near the bottom of the news article is a long section detailing former HHS secretary Tommy Thompson’s business relationship with the VeriChip corporation, and wondering whether he had anything to do…
