The white things look like tiny blossoms from a flowering tree or shrub that blew into the spider web. Egg sacs tend to look like, say, caterpillar casings -- more clamped down onto the surface of whatever they're on.
I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
The surface of Venus is hotter that the sunny side of Mercury, the atmospheric pressure is 90 times that of Earth, and it has clouds made of sulfuric acid.
But it's still where the women are from, right? It said so on a book somewhere.

Hey, has Dana weighed in on her weekend plans?
Dana, what is the weather supposed to be like this weekend on your side of the mountains? We are considering fleeing there to escape the rain.

I didn't see that before! That's so funny (from a distance.)
I think I'm really going to like the Y. There are all sorts of classes free to members, trainers, the whole bit. For $50/month.5 minute walk away. My life is changing so much. Who thought Miss Sloth'd ever say that?

Our wings are not tired.
Per the Palm Beach County School Board website:
President Barack Obama’s message to students
The United States Department of Education has notified all schools of President Barack Obama’s message to students to be broadcasted at 12 noon, September 8th, 2009.
1. Accordingly, the Palm Beach County School District will air and record the President’s message.
2. Teachers are encouraged to use this broadcast to reinforce existing lessons where possible.
3. All school personnel are reminded not to inject political comments and/or political opinions to students in light of Palm Beach School District policy prohibiting “political” messaging to students.
4. Parents, who object to this broadcast for personal reasons, may submit a written request to the school to excuse their student(s) from this broadcast.
Thank you for your attention and support in this matter.
This was copy and paste. The good: My kids will see the broadcast. The bad: broadcasted? That just doesn't seem right to me.

“Not dead yet!”
This is the St. Johns County School District:
We will be making President Obama’s address available for students at 12:00. Knowing that timing and logistics will make this difficult in some circumstances, we will make a concerted effort to provide access as requested. This message is scheduled to last 15 minutes. Tuesday is a regular school day and will be treated as such.
It is our understanding that a transcript of the speech will be released on Monday. If so, it will be posted immediately on the district web site. We are not recommending that our teachers use the DOE-provided materials as we have not had the chance to review them properly.
Parents who do not wish for their children to participate may write a note to their 4th period teacher excusing them from the presentation. These students will be relocated to the gymnasium for the duration of the speech.
Frankly, I'm shocked they're broadcasting it and being supportive about it.
