Josh bought four glorious pumpkins yesterday. I think we'll try to carve them on Friday night.
Having 10,000 choices of limitless streaming radio on my new work PC rules.
Our kitchen roof has gone from dripping to actually leaking. What's frustrating is that repairs to that roof are the very first thing we had done to the house when we bought it seven-ish years ago. And now trying to find a roofer who will come do this small job for us is something of a nightmare .. especially since the entire roof needs to be redone, but there is no way we can come up with $10,000 for that this fall. *sigh* Calling roofers was about the last thing I wanted to do today, but I can't live with a water bucket in my kitchen either.
I've been watching lots of cooking shows to try and come up with some new ideas for food for the party, but in the end I don't think I'm that creative.
Eric Meyer thinks that the comic Frazz is secretly drawn by Bill Watterson under a pseudonym. He makes a slightly persuasive case for his claim, however Jef Mallett the [alleged] artist and author of Frazz is now making some public appearances. It would be interesting if true, though, wouldn't it?
Calvin and Hobbes Snow Art Gallery
The Return of Hobbes

PS: The rest of the site is pretty cool, too.
The original Star Wars rendered as an 8-bit animated .gif file (runs about 4 minutes)
How To Do Some Idiotic Things
Interesting advice, including how to make a lamp out of a blender and and a fairly long article on how to create a turducken. The rest of The Black Table is pretty neat too.
Medieval and Arthurian Resources
1980's CIA Sabotage Manual
Wal-Mart Urges Congress to Raise Minimum Wage

Raising the minimum wage creates more consumers with cash than it would cost Wal-Mart.
At least, these are my suspicions. It's the same reason that Wal-Mart should be pressuring the US Government for basic minimum health care insurance for everyone. That prevents it from having to pay for its employees insurance, and it lets poorest consumers redirect their meager wages from necessities like medications to buying more cut-rate Gatorade.
