You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

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.

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

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.

Yeah, that's bad. There's a place in Milwaukee called The Rusty Skillet.

some idiot tweeters are calling for a boycott of Arizona Iced Tea products. Which are not, in fact, produced or based in Arizona. They're in New York.

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

Worst real restaurant name: Squat N Gobble.

Still, that's not as bad as Gobble N Squat.
