Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Lots of athletes used amphetamines. It's not that strange.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, aurelia!!!!

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

Wow, this is an amazing costume: [link]

Another blog sez:

An artist from MAC Cosmetics painted a woman as a comic book character for Halloween — right down to the dot printing style of old comics books. Or, alternatively, as a figure from a Roy Lichtenstein painting.

In'eresting: The Human Body Is Built for Distance

Most mammals can sprint faster than humans — having four legs gives them the advantage. But when it comes to long distances, humans can outrun almost any animal. Because we cool by sweating rather than panting, we can stay cool at speeds and distances that would overheat other animals. On a hot day, the two scientists wrote, a human could even outrun a horse in a 26.2-mile marathon.

...

Other research suggests that before the development of slingshots or bows, early hunters engaged in persistence hunting, chasing an animal for hours until it overheated, making it easy to kill at close range. A 2006 report in the journal Current Anthropology documents persistence hunting among modern hunter-gatherers, including the Bushmen in Africa.

“Ancient humans exploited the fact that humans are good runners in the heat,” Dr. Bramble said. “We have such a great cooling system” — many sweat glands, little body hair.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Sure, but what about a cheetah on a squash court?

They keep growing up. The expression on Leif's face is pretty much the expression he always has.

SNOW! The whole school district is closed today. CJ is out shoveling the walk. We live in apartments where the property management takes care of that...but he wanted to do it anyway. Goofy boy.
