Provo police on alert for peeping Toms – Salt Lake Tribune Apparently BYU, the college of the Utah faithful, suffers a plague of pervos every fall when students return, move into housing or apartments, and don’t know enough to close the curtains. Peeping toms are a perennial problem in prissy Provo. Best comment from the Trib website: “Abstinence makes the church grow fondlers.”

A misdirection in Minnesota — chicagotribune.com Meanwhile, Sen. John McCain has posed a stark question for voters to ponder: How much would you like to see Sarah Palin of Wasilla, Alaska, as the next president of the United States? And what does the question say about McCain’s love of the country that she might suddenly need to lead? No need to discuss these things at length, really. The gentleman played his card, a two of hearts. Make of it what you will. Two good questions. And an interesting excursion into the workings of Minnesota senatorial politics later on, too.

Wow, lots to catch up on. Too much to blog via iPhone, so may fire up the frankenmachine and sit properly at a desk for the first time in weeks. Church this morning was pretty good – outdoors again. Next week we go back to two services, and this year there will be much more differentiation musically and liturgically. Thanks be to God, I’m a High Church 77 Prayerbook / 82 Hymnal Liberal… I’m tired of singing out of Gather (a Catholic, slightly charismatic songbook) and never knowing which prayer to recite because my vicar loves to pull things out…

That’s according to the winter weather projections in the 2009 edition of the “The Old Farmer’s Almanac,” in stores in next month. Yep, my village is debating the cost of road salt, in August, because the Old Farmer’s Almanac predicts a cold winter. Well, they did run out of salt last winter…

Yes they can: Chicagoans get entry to speech at last minute — chicagotribune.com DENVER – The group of Chicago people who took a bus to the Democratic National Convention without credentials will get to see Sen. Barack Obama accept the nomination for president after all. They will be the ones in the white T-shirts showing people to their seats. Yay! They made it in! I’m so glad for them. It was one of the small stories reported in the Chi-Trib about the convention that caught my attention.

So was Best Western’s system hacked – and if so how? | Technology | guardian.co.uk We’re currently staying in a BW chain hotel in Dublin, and we certainly hope we’re okay – that is, David is able to keep an eye on accounts from here (never you mind how). But this news of a German Best Western having ALL their client records from the last year hacked is not good.
