Who gets Monday off?
I think I do. I suppose I should ask my boss, huh?
Life is easy when you don't have a life....
You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION,
Ever wonder what it would be like to see Yoda fly by your head or hear Chewbacca buzz instead of roar? Now you can find out thanks to entomologists Arnold Menke and David Vincent. These bug experts named new wasp species discovered in 1983 after their favorite Star Wars characters: Polemistus chewbacca, Polemistus vaderi, and Polemistus yoda.
Heh. I like the pseudo-latinizing of 'Vader'....

They are flushing the sprinkler system today. One of the water mains is in the wall opposite my office. IT'S LOUD.

Wimbledon: On the one hand, I'm disappointed in Blake's disintegration in the 5th set. On the other hand -- Mirnyi is goin to play his doubles partner next - interesting.

We aren't off Monday, but I'm taking it as a vacation day.
The Boy's best friend lives in a house that's right on the route for the 4th of July parade in his neighborhood, so we're going to sit in his front yard and watch the parade. Plus, there's a big neighborhood festival after the parade.
Best of all -- on Monday evening his neighborhood is kicking off the holiday with what's being billed as a "Pre-4th of July Rock 'n Roll Carnival -- Beer garden, fire breathers, burlesque show and carnival side show."
When we saw the poster for that, I looked at The Boy and said "We're going to that." He said, "We SO are!" Fire breathers! Sideshow freaks! Beer! What more could you want?

Part of the SCOTUS ruling:
The Court’s conclusion ultimately rests upon a single ground: Congress has not issued the Executive a “blank check.” . . . Nothing prevents the President from returning to Congress to seek the authority he believes necessary. Where, as here, no emergency prevents consultation with Congress, judicial insistence upon that consultation does not weaken our Nation’s ability to deal with danger. To the contrary, that insistence strengthens the Nation’s ability to determine — through democratic means — how best to do so. The Constitution places its faith in those democratic means. Our Court today simply does the same.
Yay. Go them. I think this is the key phrase: "judicial insistence upon that consultation does not weaken our Nation’s ability to deal with danger" - which directly contradicts what many conservatives are saying about Bush's actions....
