Steph is studying the history of San Jose for a class she’s taking. There’s a section in one of the books she’s browsing that contains old postcards from businesses and landmarks in San Jose, and we found this gem amongst the chaff.
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’m sold!
I just happened upon SaveTheMuppets.com. I really hope what they’re saying isn’t true, but I’m afraid it probably is. And it makes me angry. So I figured I would pass the link on to you guys in case some of you also wanted to join in. This is really sad and scary.
There’s a skunk that hangs out in our neighborhood in the evenings. You can smell him a bit on the breeze, and of course you can tell how far away he is by the intensity of the smell. His presence makes Henson growl softly as the odor wafts in through the windows of the living room.
Somebody ran over him yesterday. I made him a memorial desktop picture. Enjoy it, and remember him fondly.
Carrie & Neal are having dinner with us in Monterey. I figured it was a good time to try blogging from my cell phone.
I heard a brain teaser from a friend of mine the other day. I thought it was fun so I thought I’d share it here.
A king has 3000 subjects in his kingdom, both men and women. The king comes into a large amount of money one day, and decides to spread the wealth by giving $45 to every man in the kingdom who asks for it, and $60 to every woman in the kingdom who asks for it. One of every nine men and one of every twelve women request and receive their money. The question: how much money does the king give away in total?
The answer is a real, numeric figure. There aren’t any “cheap shots” in the clue, so don’t read for double-meanings or anything. If you’re a math whiz this won’t take you more than 60 seconds, but it’s fun to attempt and solve even if you’re not. Go for it! Oh, and don’t look at the comments until you’ve solved it, because the solution will be in there soon enough, probably posted by one of the proud readers who solves it.
Look! It’s a sexy Bill Gates circa 1983. If there was a photo that explained why I hate “slacks” and everything associated with them, it would be one of these.
Warning: may cause burning sensation in eyes and brain.
I’m 10 minutes into Napoleon Dynamite for the first time (on DVD!), and I’m already totally loving it. Flippin’ sweet.
