Yeah, a post about Palin, but this is the
fourth time
this has happened!
Palin bungles another event invitation, claiming she was never asked to attend.
Tonight’s Alaska Family Council event promoting an anti-choice statewide ballot measure was supposed to be Sarah Palin’s first public appearance since stepping down as governor. However, Palin spokeswoman Meg Stapleton now says that Palin won’t be attending because organizers never asked her. Family Council officials insist that they have been talking to Palin “contacts” for weeks and had confirmed her participation. As of today, the Alaska Family Council is still promoting Palin as one of the event’s headliners on its website:

I have friends with one of those fire bowls, and the only time they've had any trouble was when they had it too close to a tree AND were burning ridiculous things in it. (I can't remember what they were burning, but the tree took some heavy damage...)

Calli, there are also fire proof mats that are designed to go underneath bbq grills that might work for you.

And just don't throw everything flammable you can find in there, and you should be OK. Seriously, it was like cardboard boxes from a large furniture delivery or something. I dunno.
I don't want to sound alarmist, but it has been raining steadily and hard for two days here in Eastern Iowa. Sorta like last year when there was a big flood. I'm watching the ironically named Dry Creek slowly consume the woods behind my sisters house.
Does anyone know how to build an ark? I just want to be ready, in case.

Does anyone know how to build an ark?
There's this book that will give you the dimensions, but it's a little vague on the actual construction details.
