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

Tomato-basil tower. So gorgeous!

(Don't read the comments - who knew a tomato salad could start a political flame war?)

So basically, something that we are running out of and is increasingly rare is just POURING INTO THE OCEAN and POISONING IT.

Yep, if the new estimate is right, in 52 days it will equal the Valdez in quantity. There's a good chance it will take months to stop unless the well stops on its own.

Now, you know I had to read the comments after reading that and I am ASTOUNDED at people.

Tomato-basil tower. So gorgeous!

Beautiful! But kind of cruel of them to post it when tomatoes worth eating are still a good 3-4 months away.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Tomato-basil tower. So gorgeous!

Mmmmm. I would add good mozzarella, though, b/c I love caprese.

And it only took 4 comments for it to start. Amazing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Good luck, Theo! You're due.

Emmett's got an after school project that involves roaming around in the big hill near his house and filming a trailer to an imaginary movie. It's a school project and has something to do with Sierra Leone. I imagine they're going for some combo of Blair Witch and Blood Diamonds.

I'm hoping he doesn't get into the poison oak.

Speaking of school projects, my college friend John just sent me a youtube link to a film school project he shot as a music video, starring me and our friends. It's all very 1983, though good considering this was shot on film before easy digital effects and editing. I had completely forgotten we'd done it and barely recognized myself.

Worst real restaurant name: Squat N Gobble. Good burgers, amazing root beer. Did a whole lot more business when they changed the name to Howie's.

The tallest structure in Alaska is no more: [link]

That tower was 1350 feet tall, built in 1962. But now we don't use LORAN radio signals anymore, so it had to come down.

Luck!

My feet are cold, I have testing to do, but they haven't turned the system over to us. I've got the first step in the process, except it looks like I'll be in meetings all afternoon.. Which is when they expect to hand everything over. Ahrg.
