I've heard of rats being used in electrical work to run wires. Fascinates me.
Natter Five-O: Book 'Em, Danno.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
TAR: And how much fun was Phil running away from the Cha Cha's at the finish line?
Too much. That's how much.
Oh yeah, that was a best show moment ever contender.
Feeling better today--best day yet.
YAY
Lovely day. Lovely weekend. Want someone to fetch me dinner.
Me too!
Damn, good weekend.
Me too! At least until I got to the airport. Sitting in an unairconditioned plane on a runway for an extra hour and a half is never as much fun as it sounds.
Bodies of water would average out with no high and low tides, but what else?
We'd actually still have tides due to the sun, but they'd be a lot weaker without the moon.
I'm pretty sure the oceans make up so tiny a fraction of the earth's mass that their effect on its rotation is negligible.
TAR: "Phil, give me a hug! Phillllll!!!" Hilarious!! I called a non-elim leg about half-way through, and knew something was up with the slow-mo edit of you-did-the-wrong-thing! when everyone started going for the coal instead of manicures.
Most of them aren't labeled, but here are pictures from this weekend. (actually they are mostly of Lily) (but she is very cute) [link]
Hump. Omakase. Crinolines¹.
Blueberries, then more Space:1999, then bed.
Considering this was a day without serious migraines, it SO chalks up in the win column.
And there was even Angel! And fun krav teaching!
Oh, god, it'll never be like this again. A week from now I'll have taken my black belt, and one way or another, I'll hate krav (I hear you feel that way, win or lose).
I better get those blueberries and changed for bed.
¹: Thanks to Kat for another great loaner dress.
Timelies.
I've got to teach this morning. Don't want to.
Crap! It looks like I'll miss this TAR, damn it -- if it ran 45 minutes late, I'll only have the first 15. I believe I've posted about those bomb-sniffing rats here before, as they're trained by APOPO, a Belgian charity that concentrates on low-tech sustainable solutions.
Check out the Hero Rat site for more details -- there's flash animations, pictures, games, vids of them in training and in action. Plus you can adopt a rat!
