Christopher Walken is apparently running for President in 2008. Either that, or someone is pulling off an elaborate prank.
Update: It was, indeed, a hoax (thanks, Mark). And eebmore has an insightful commentarty for those who failed to be critical enough in their analysis.
Some pictures from last Monday’s train ride to Manhattan:
The other day, the Moochinator left some, er, rat parts on the back stoop as an offering. I double-plastic-grocery bagged my hand and picked up the remains, and tied up the baggies and hung them on the fence next to our trash can–with the intention of putting the remains in the next bag of trash we brought out.
Today, after getting back from painting Paula’s classroom (a subject for another post later), I sent K out with the trash and told him, “Put that bag out there on the fence into this load.”
“Uh…I would, but it’s empty,” he reported.
Ewwww. So that means that something climbed into the bag, and either made off with the remains of a fallen comrade for proper burial…or….ewwwww.
Just uploaded my pictures from the 4th of July in Plattsburgh, NY… finally. Here’s a sampling.
Whenever I have to make a left turn onto one of Baltimore’s four-lane broad thoroughfares — like 33rd St in Charles Village or or Roland Ave in Roland Park, with their tree-lined medians that block oncoming traffic from view — I want to go back in time, find Frederick Law Olmstead and his progeny, and give them all a slap across the back of the head.
Olmstead designed Roland Park, and his son designed the Johns Hopkins campus. Their style was copied in countless city planning projects over the next century. Whether the tree-lined medians were really his idea, or whether they were put in place to cover the remains of the trolley tracks that once ran down these main drags, matters little to me. All I know is that they’re a pain in the ass.
I’m thinking this new design doesn’t suck. I tried a bunch of things, but after CSS dealt me a few wicked blows to the head, I went back to cribbing from someone else and made some minor tweaks to an existing template again.
