    Salt Shaker City Quake

    February 21, 2008 - By ginny

    Quake hits NE Nevada, has buildings swaying in downtown Salt Lake City – Salt Lake Tribune There was an earthquake in Nevada that shook buildings – hard – in Salt Lake, more than 200 miles away.  I’m not too worried about family members there, but I expect they’ll have some good ‘all shook up’ stories for me later.

    Huckabee’s friends: even scarier than he is.

    February 16, 2008 - By ginny

    Mike Huckabee seems like a great guy; funny, talented, self-deprecating, and refreshingly moderate in some of his actions as governor of Arkansas. It’s easy to discount his “former Baptist minister” label, but some of his strongest supporters hold some mighty scary views. Mike Huckabee’s radical religious friends | Salon News

    On The Mend

    February 14, 2008 - By ginny

    I faithfully took all my prescription meds yesterday, got a fairly good night’s sleep last night (got up early, but went back to bed after David left for work) and stayed home one more day today to get the last of the cold/cough dealt with; I felt pretty bad yesterday afternoon and was really stuffed up. After zonking out this morning for a few hours — I may have to re-think the Allegra — I got out and ran a couple of errands. I actually purchased a neti pot, the brand that was seen on Oprah, apparently. Last night I…

    Amphibian eats mother’s skin – Boing Boing

    February 11, 2008 - By ginny

    Amphibian eats mother’s skin – Boing Boing Here’s an appetizing video of baby caecilians, a mysterious subterranean order of amphibians, peeling and eating the skin off their mother’s tail. Mmmm, yummy, Mummy! If we hadn’t been mammals, but some sort of insectoid, we’d call this “skin-feeding” or “tail-feeding.” I bet some skiffy author will end up creating an intelligent race that does just this. Suckling, or nibbling, it’s still kinda gross.

  • 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.

    Elisabeth Yoder and her son Darragh recently experienced a huge gap in their health care "coverage." They stand in  front of the family home, and they belong to a Christian "health sharing" plan that didn't reimburse for a recent ambulance ride.

  • 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.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    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

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    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”
