Tree seen yesterday afternoon, accidentally captured with palm cam.
It began to rain heavily about 20 minutes later.

Thank you from Newt and me to sirenity for the lovely card and turtle post-its! They're great!

Aloft for a century. There are countless online tributes to the Wright Brothers. Here are just a few. Flights of fancy, a small BBC gallery celebrating the 100th anniversary of Wilbur and Orville Wright's first flight at Kitty Hawk, on 17 December 1903. See also Photography and the Wright Brothers, and the stark abstract beauty of images like these: I, II, III. Related: Microsoft's A Century of Flight. Even more photos.

I trained Mohna yesterday... fascinating person, 19 year old Muslim girl, spent several years in Palestine, helping to raise her brother's children. She's now in BCC, and is a perfect candidate for the nighttime phone gig. I wonder how much time we can dump on her, and not stress her out? She gets another Training session Friday... I'll throw a few curveballs at her, and see how she adapts to them, but she's got a good head for deductive reasoning and gathering information.

How to totally miss the point of Lamont Cranston

I briefly had the urge to get a white linen suit and a red fez, and to use that outfit as "work clothes".

I'm all over the road, but I lean just a snootch a bit more to the left.

I'm all over the road, but just a snootch more to the right. I'm a liberal-republican (really). Conservatives are so much further over to the right than repubs, so I couldn't fill out the polly-poll. :P

People hear republican in liberal-republican and focus only on the republican part. Oog.

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the words "liberal" and "conservative" are pretty loaded terms... I imagine most think in very powerful extremes for both. I ticked left, even though I'm really all over the landscape. (I'm pro-choice, and pro-death penalty, for example.)

[juliabee.livejournal.com]

I'm pro-choice & pro-death penalty for murdering types. As for the labels that many put on repubs such as religion -- I'm FAR from being a religion freak. Guns do not bother me in the way that I think someone who wants to defend themself (have had friends who've needed to), should be able to do so - because criminals will continue to have guns whether they're made illegal or no.

So again - all over the map on many other things, but I don't fit in with far left liberals or far right republicans.

themselves...

[scottobear.livejournal.com]

yup... I'm in the same boat as you, then, or pretty close. I agree with all your sentiments made!

Honu! Is that where Honululu gets part of its name?
