    Halloween inflatables provoke yard rage

    October 13, 2007 - By ginny

    Man attacks inflatable ghosts, pumpkin – Yahoo! News Perhaps he was engraged by the commercialization and trivialization of an ancient Pagan holiday, or perhaps he just rilly, rilly hates the beginning of Inflatable Yard Display Season.

    Barna Poll: Sharks and Chickens and Christians, Oh My

    October 10, 2007 - By ginny

    Orcinus notes that the recent Barna poll of young adults under 30 shows that the ultra-conservative religious right does not have time or demographics on its side – can I get an amen? They’re not going to be having it all their way for many more years.

    Thank God, The Base Is Aging

    October 10, 2007 - By ginny

    Evangelical Movement – Voters – Religion – Politics – Christians and Christianity – Republicans – New York Times The “old lions” of the Religious Right aren’t roaring as loudly as before, and the Republican Party is turning an increasingly deaf ear on their “RALLY BASE!” hot-button issues. Hurrah.

    Fifty Is Apparently Cool. I’m Temporarily Hip!

    October 4, 2007 - By ginny

    NPR : 1957 Was the Year of the Icons Robert Siegel did a little culture piece today about 1957, the year that launched Sputnik, the X-13, and me. Apparently, Eisenhower dispatched the federal troops to Little Rock on the day I was actually born, although my parents were probably too busy at the time to notice. A lot of cool stuff happened in 1957. I’d better surf this trend as long as I can – probably 50 minutes’ worth.

    Stephen Fry: Device and Desires

    October 4, 2007 - By ginny

    Curse you, amiable and erudite Mr. Fry, for being an accomplished WordPress blogger at the first attempt. Now I’ll be forced to add your feed to my “must read” list. Stephen Fry » Blog Archive » Device and Desires My husband and his best friend are seriously into cell phone technology, and they constantly compare phones and features and contracts whenever either of them get a new phone. Stephen Fry’s comprehensive look at telephonic devices he has known, loved, or loathed beats my geeky hubby and his friend and their obsession all to bits and bytes. It’s an extremely detailed…

  • 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”
