Every family should have someone who specializes in car repair. My faux-son came over last night to investigate why my Jeep's headlights don't come on. He poked around with his testing stuff, discovered all the fuses are good, then sat and pondered a few minutes. Then he flipped the high-beam switch back and forth a few times, and the lights came on. Seems the switch is wearing out, and it can get stuck between the low-beam and high-beam setting. That could have gotten very expensive in a shop that didn't have his troubleshooting skills. A free fix and a chance to brag on him!

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

Heh. That's happened to me twice (on two different cars). Too bad I didn't think of this when I saw your post.

So, looking around google for images to take to the hairdresser on Thursday, I came across this site, which totally made me think of David.
Other notes on google: it is hard to distinguish an image search for hair that is pink, and hair worn by the singer Pink.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Yes! Solar eclipse in Iceland! It won't be total, but very very close to it. I would love to go with you! We must plan! My usual travelling companion will still be in school and may not have the money or time to go with me, and I'd rather not go alone.
The next (after 2015) total solar eclipse I can reasonably get to will be over North America on August 21, 2017. I can wait, but why?!?

Iceland is awesome! I hope to go back someday. Have fun with the eclipse! I hope everyone else travelling has great journeys, too.

I need to figure out where to go on vacation. Someplace rural and quiet.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm trying to figure out some day trips I can take. I think that Fallingwater is within reasonable day trip distance, but that requires better weather than we're supposed to be having for the next few days.

Michigan's upper peninsula is both, Tom. There's miles of Lake Superior coastline (and a bit on Lake Michigan and Lake Huron), loads of woods, some minor mountains, and the occasional farm. You could go on a driving tour of the lighthouses, or hike to dozens of waterfalls. If I was spending money on vacations and keeping it domestic, that's probably where I'd go. [link]
The insect life can get a bit intense, but otherwise it's terrific.

Iceland??
-t, I am semi-seriously interested in going for the eclipse, so keep me posted.

Yeah, I think that's the one I'm planning to see from exotic Salem, OR. Anyway, will notify y'all of what I find out when I look at Iceland trips again (I was okay with going alone, but with buffistas would be better!)
