Bird
Here's a bird. Picture taken Summer 2008 at the Detroit Zoo. In a rare twofer, part of both my Statue series and my Bird series.
Today was a great day to be in Northern California. During a telecon this morning, I learned that it was snowing at our old home in Gardenville, Pennsylvania. We had a few clouds yesterday and again today, but the snow has stayed away. In fact, it's stayed away since we got here. I enjoy some cool weather now and again, but I don't like commuting in it.
Loyal Reader Number Three is really struggling with the near-term plan. I have lots of ideas, but none of them is probably right for him. Keep praying for him, Loyal Readers.
Busy day at work. I was in meetings the entire day except from noon to 1:00. The meetings were all necessary, but it's tough to get all the other necessary things done. Fortunately, Tuesdays are usually meetingier than the rest of the week.
There's good news from Redmond today! The Windows of the Future will be less annoying!
No controversy today. There is absolutely nothing strange going on anywhere in the world. I know. I've checked. Maybe tomorrow.
See you then.

I didn't go through a recent surgery. I think you meant Loyal Reader #2.
The gas in the "important medical discovery" is, interestingly enough, one of the major poisons to be avoided in mines. It's also known as "stink damp" and will kill you in low concentrations. Its toxicity is comparable to hydrogen cyanide, the gas used in Nazi killing chambers. Very interesting that it can be therapeutic. Check out the Wikipedia article; it's very comprehensive.
Darnit! Blogger decided to post my comment on the wrong post. That comment belongs on "Edison's Chemicals."
I've finally started the voting process. I spent my lunch break reading up on the various propositions that I didn't already have an opinion on. If all of this passes (which it likely will), we'll be spending billions of dollars a year in new taxpayer money. Sigh. I have officially been exposed to the horrors of politics.
Plus, I understand now how a politician can vote against a measure that would do something good – but something bigger bad. I voted against the high-speed rail line, even though that would have been wonderful. It's just not defined enough and too expensive.
So here's the controversy - what's causing the lack of controversies?
Maybe Al Gore?
I'll just add my Edison's Chemicals comments here too. I'd be interested in seeing the blood pressure cuffs they put on rats--they must be teeny tiny!
