They used to effectively charge .05 per bag at Ralph's by giving a .05 discount for every bag you brought in. Now they give you 5 points to your account and that turns into dollars every blue moon, and really, you're just doing it for the environment and nothing immediately palpable.

I do feel fail when I mis-estimate how much I'm buying and need to get a store bag. Even though I recycle those too.

I was in bed by the time Tom posted to tell me to do same last night, still up too late. Head felt better this mirning, but getting worse sitting here at work. raining and cold outside, I made mac wear a big coat today.

would really like to just leave worka nd go read somewhere.

Yikes ita, hope your mom is all right.

Also, randomly, has anyone else seen the awesomeness of which line to stand in at the grocery store now with improved data collection?

Does the data explain why someone in front of me always has some issue that requires a manager to be called over, stalling the line?

ita, I hope your mother is okay.

Someone please keep me from killing this student who keeps telling me that the entry on adverse possession doesn't exist - I've shown the listing to her for it in both the index and the ToC and I'll be damned if I'm going to open the book to the exact page for her.

ita, best wishes to your mom.

I'll be damned if I'm going to open the book to the exact page for her.

You could, and then when she leans down to look at it, slam the book shut on her face.

Signed,

Has no tolerance for idjits.

Not unless their issue is "I'm being followed by teh gays!"

Lizard disguised as autumn leaf

Plus the lizard has an awesome name!

A Satanic leaf-tailed gecko, a type of lizard that can camouflage itself to resemble a shrivelled autumn leaf, has been captured on camera in a stunning image.

I want this shirt: Science Is A Verb Now Shirt

Pay no attention to the cat sciencing through space. She was sciencing where she wasn't supposed to science and it is our hope that in the end her sciencing will help further the cause of science.

The print on this shirt GLOWS IN THE DARK.

This is one pretty pigeon....

The Victoria Crowned – The Largest Pigeon in the World

Possibly the most beautiful pigeon too, the Victoria Crowned is not at all what you might expect when used to the hordes that haunt our towns and cities. Thanks to the Dodo becoming defunct, these turkey sized blue niceys are the largest pigeon on the planet. They have a rather odd secret too. Birds don’t produce milk to feed their young, right? Well, these do! Unfortunately, these birds seem to be dying out in the wild for several reasons. The facts that they 1. aren’t afraid of people and 2. taste good do not bode well for their survival.
