I’ve redesigned the site to use only one stylesheet, a modified version of its predecessor. I call it Ark II. It features new display rules to accommodate my year-long photo project, 24. The site navigation is now under the site’s title, and uses serial, left-floated list items. It is more than likely that the Safari… Continue reading this entry

I’ve spent most of the day helping out with the construction for the new deck in the family home. Being the armchair warmonger that I am, physical activity that involves lifting loads that I would not even consider doing on a regular basis has exacted its toll on me.

I was able to go to the local mall today and took this excellent, though distant view, of the castle towers of the Medieval Times Dinner and Tournament: Castle towers at Medieval Times. Feel like royalty in the mall. Click on the small picture to get a bigger one at 1024 pixels wide (30+KB)

Michael J. Totten underscores something that I worry about: On the one hand, that’s a counterpoint to what Hoagland said. There should be no doubt whatever that Iran wants nukes. It hardly matters if our intelligence is weak and often wrong. Unlike Saddam, the ayatollahs brazenly announce their intentions. [...] Where’s Bush? He just blew… Continue reading this entry
The afternoon took a bad turn as it became quite gloomy soon after lunch, followed by early evening thunderstroms. I was able to snag a photo of these deck steps that were turned over in the back yard. Overturned wooden stairs. Welcome to bizarro world.

Eric Scheie’s last quiz for this Friday is a personality cocktail. Input something that takes the place of “you” (name, blog name, etc) and it will output a recipe. I like taking these quizzes but don’t usually post about them. Tonight is well worth the exception: Quite fitting, if I may say so myself. Go… Continue reading this entry
A buddy of mine and I were discussing Michael Moore’s latest propaganda piece, Fahrenheit 9/11. A snippet: OFJ : What a disgusting fart. OFJ’s bud: If Bush wins I hope his first phone call is to michael moore to rub it in. OFJ: But you know what? A lot of current punditry has two goals:… Continue reading this entry
