About 15 minutes ago, I was listening to Morning Edition on WBEZ with half an ear as I attempt to awaken fully and get going (I don’t have to be at work for more than an hour, I generally leave about 40 minutes from now). And OOPS! There it goes again!! WBEZ got knocked off the air a second time mid-sentence, and has been replaced by a shifting soundscape of radio noise, some in Spanish, some in Russian, bits of music, and now the EAS tones agian. Unfortunately, David took the digital recorder to work with him, and mylaptop does…

Via: Flickr Title: 06-19-07_1942.jpg By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 19 Jun ’07, 7.43pm CDT PST The Village, its wisdom, decided to repave all the streets in our subdivision this summer, and the notification letter was received Wednesday, when we went out of town. Although they’d previously announced we’d have more notice, they actually gave only 2 days’ warning before taking off the first layer of asphalt, on Friday. We returned Sunday night from our trip to find that the street was blocked off to thru traffic, but somewhat driveable. Good thing we moved the cars this morning before we left, they…

Oh. Wait… this just begs to be cheezburg0red.

Thanks to the good offices of Father Jake, we now know that God placed an ad in the British newspaper The Independent, trying to get someone’s attention at the time of the G8 meetings: Father Jake Stops the World: God Places Ad in British Paper In our area we occasionally get roadside billboards from the Almighty, such as “Don’t make me come down there – God” in times of national stupidity. But this is pretty classy. I hope God got a good deal for the full-pager and shows some return on His advertising pound.

The Braid Blog – Two Communities Coming Together To Make… Oh, my Dog. Well, the old Holy Moly blog from holy-innocents.org has now been refurbished and pointed to the new onebreadonebody.org site. Redirected, too. The new site has a paltry “click here for more news and events” link on just the main page. Will have to inquire about having a “Blog” link added to the links template on the side as well. This was complicated; I didn’t realize David had upgraded the HI blog installation to WordPress 2.2, while this site is still at 2.1, pending a few plugins that…
