Everyone Has To Start Somewhere
If Gene Logsdon makes me feel like a noob, Amy Scott reminds me of how far I have come. Of course, I started out as scared kid with an ax working with a Dad who had done it before. So I had some advantages.
Foolish Cats
If you like those funny cat videos, you’ll enjoy this collection.
Worth Reading
A hand made four story bombshelter underneath a rather ordinary house.
A talk from a pilot about dangerous Israeli Jammers, the perfidious French, and the quality of Indian Fighter Pilots. Well worth listening to even though the sound quality sucks.
That is a novel use for Tanks
AP headline “UN says Rwanda fired tanks at Congo.”
I know I should not cast stones. But they get paid to do this kind of thing, I do not. More to the point, newspapers editors all over the country ran this headline with out a second thought.

Downhill more than 700 ft.
Holy cow.
Some good questions
I have, of all the inglorious things, a malignant hemorrhoid. What color bracelet does one wear for that? And where does one wear it? And what slogan is apropos? Perhaps that slogan can be sewn in needlepoint around the ruffle on a cover for my embarrassing little doughnut buttocks pillow.

Three Strange Maps
Strange Maps is a good blog to keep an eye on. Most of the maps on that blog are so ridiculous they are of interest only those people who have a fetish for maps (though as a web site that has its own map maybe we should not cast stones). But amongst the dross there are quite a few gems.
For example, this map charting how people ask for a “soda” is pretty fascinating.
Also worth checking out is this map comparing the population of China’s various provinces to the population of various nations.
And last but not least is this map of genetic variation in Europe.
