A thirty something tomboy gets a present from the stork: ...."We've also discovered that she will bring whatever is in her hands to her mouth. ...Mostly there's nothing in arm's reach to swallow, except mom's hair, which has been falling out in droves (another neat pregnancy trick). Do babies get hairballs?"....

And they all come tumbling down
Friday, 30 September 2005 6:27 A GMT-05
"I did not have sex with that woman" insisted DeLay yesterday. That's not precisely what came out of his mouth, but if you subsititute a few words here and there, it's about the same thing. Except that having sex is not illegal,
Modern Technology Sucks.
Thursday, 29 September 2005 9:05 A GMT-05
Due to technical difficulties eerily similar to this but unfortunately with a slightly less satisfactory outcome, we have nothing to say today. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We hope to be back on the air soon. Until the
Stepping Down
Wednesday, 28 September 2005 6:28 A GMT-05
It's a bad sign when three of your Republican colleagues, not to mention your direct boss the governor, tell you you should resign. And furthermore if you've been in politics for 28 years and haven't figured out that sooner or later someone is goin
Bush learns a new word
Tuesday, 27 September 2005 6:18 A GMT-05
For the first time in his entire life, Bush said the C word when talking about fuel. It took two hurricanes and astronomical gas prices to do it, but Bush actually told people to try and Conserve Energy. Which raises the question, why does it tak
Weather Forecasts: Or, looking out the window.
Monday, 26 September 2005 4:12 P GMT-05
This is the National Weather Service's take on the maelstrom going on outside my house at the moment:Tonight. Rain this evening. Then a chance of rain after midnight. Lows in the mid 50s. South winds 15 to 20 mph. Becoming west 10 to 20 mph after mid
Scots Land
Monday, 26 September 2005 6:15 A GMT-05
My mother and I went to the Highland Games on Sunday, trying to be true to our Scottish roots. My grandmother's maiden name was Tulloch--Davidson of Tulloch-- just to confuse the issue, since it is Clan Ross which claims Tulloch as a family. Dav

The actual weather has taken a few days to keep up with the season the calendar says it is but this morning it is definitely Fall. Last night, after a somewhat frustrating day consisting of trying to mow the lawn with a flat tired tractor, I took m
Chaos Theory in Action

Lovely Rita, hurricane nothing can come between us When it gets dark you blow us all away....Yesterday talk of gas shortages and long gas lines were on the news as I drove into Concord. I stopped to get gas myself, here in Northern New England, hom
Havoc in Bush Country
Thursday, 22 September 2005 6:32 A GMT-05
Is the massive influx of trained FEMA individuals and early evacuations a reaction to the unexpected political fallout from Katrina? Or is it because Texas is Bush's home state and he doesn't want it to get all messed up? Either way, the presence

First you get some steel drums with lids to seal them with, preferrably steel drumswhich have had something innocuous like apple juice stored in them rather thanturpentine or weed killer. Then you turn the barrels over and bang a few holes into the

Gathering wood and harvesting food; we're beginning to put the outside to bed. It is fall after all, though you wouldn't know it from the sticky, humid temperatures and the dew on the grass.So we chopped up cord wood all day and then to top the eve

Lionel was supposed to go to an invasive species conference in Massachusetts but seemed to be having trouble motivating out of the house. At one point he asked me if we had anything he could make into a lunch. "We have tuna fish," I sai
Massive Secret Government Psychological Experiment
Friday, 16 September 2005 6:39 A GMT-05
There's really no other explanation for it. Here's the scenario: you build a badly designed building with annoying features such as low but bright lights which will be centered directly over some people's head but not shed enough light on others, s
Random Generations

Item Number One: Fruit Flies. In biology class, long long ago in a galaxy far away, I remember learning about some weirdo who thought that life was spontaneously created and tried to prove his theory by leaving out some food one day and coming back
Let the Blame Begin
Wednesday, 14 September 2005 6:08 A GMT-05
Now that party Katrina is over and the more tedious work of cleaning up the abandoned city begins, we all poke up our heads like groundhogs, looking for people to blame. President Bush nobly takes responsibility for any federal government's fail
Feathered Flies, White Lies

There's a stretch of river known as the "Trophy Stretch" between First Connecticut Lake and Lake Francis, the two bodies of water which form the Connecticut River--that beautiful body of water which divides Vermont from New Hampshire.In thi

Apparently responding to the spoiled brats who can't understand why the government hasn't pumped out their city already, the Army Corps of Engineers has acted fast and is doing just that. Only after they started, however, did anyone point out that
Little tiny corns
Tuesday, 6 September 2005 6:39 A GMT-05
A few weeks ago somebody got into our corn patch and munched on a couple cornstalks. Racoons are famous for rampaging cornfields, but the day before I'd seen a ground hog suspiciously close to the patch. It's not fenced in so I did the next best
Labor in the Day
Monday, 5 September 2005 8:05 A GMT-05
After adventuring on Saturday and Sunday we have returned to Earth just in time for the Labor Day Special. That is to say today is Labor in the Yard Day. It's really exciting. Just you see.And what a beautiful Labor Day it is. The beginning o
Clouded Day, Clouded Subjects

Good morning.I am, unfortunately, slightly stuck in a rut these days, since there is one particular topic which keeps coming up. I appealed to Lionel for help and even though he rapidly came out with all sorts of suggestions (not necessarily good s
Revenge of the Pod People
Friday, 2 September 2005 6:17 A GMT-05
Logged in last night to discover the exciting news: I can now do podcasts from the comfort of my blog! Alright! The idea hadn't even occurred to me. Now, except for the initial excitement I felt (ooooh! Podcasts!) the idea is sort of repulsiv
Feast and Famine

Most days I sit in a cubicle, virtually unnoticed by the rest of the company, doing my thing. I kind of set it up this way on purpose. When I first got there I tried to make myself known, thinking it was a good way to get ahead, but I noticed tha
Animals that we are

Unlike most of my fellow Americans, I am not at all surprised by the looting and "lawlessness" which is now New Orleans. When the highly specialized and extremely fragile system we call civilization breaks down, there isn't much left but
