For as much goofing around with the Internet as I do, I’m not what you’d call proficient. I don’t know how to code. I use Wordpress templates that pretty much walk you through any minor modifications you might want to make.
Until today.
Joel had been asking me for help with the Dirty Kanza 200 [...]

A little AP blurb on a dude with a metal detector who found a massive Anglo Saxon treasure hoard mentioned in the “Share and Enjoy” section of The Usual Suspects has reignited my fascination with all things Early-Medieval-To-The-Point-Of-Damn-Near-Prehistoric.
A metal detector hobbyist trying his luck in a friend’s field stumbled upon the largest to-date cache of [...]

make trashmonade?
Yes, yes, I directly cribbed that from Strongbad and piemonade. Pretty much everything funny I’ve ever said was probably cribbed from somebody funnier than I am. Wit by proxy, isn’t it?
Anyway, I’ve been makin’ some trashmonade just lately.

You’re probably looking at this picture right now and thinking, “WTF does this lady’s laundry [...]

Here’s that cool fungus I was talking about the other day…the one we had to stop and marvel at when we were out riding the trails at Smithville Lake.

I pushed my way through a home-made revolving door into a diaphanous, amorphous, rustling pink antechamber. It was not unlike being encapsulated in a gigantic chewing-gum bubble. This was the entrance to Jaime Burkhart’s conceptual installation project, “Great Accommodations!“
The piece takes its form as a large, inflatable maze, a human-scale [...]

I didn’t realize that I had an eggplant plant until today. I was weeding after about a two-week lapse (shameful) and saw, lo! Eggplants! I don’t remember planting eggplant, so Joel must have, unless this is somehow a volunteer.

This is the eggplant that tipped me off [...]

So yesterday evening, Joel was off to Kung Fu class, and I was considering my options of leftovers from the fridge, maybe re-watching one of our DVDs, and finishing up cutting out this suit jacket I’ll be working on one of these days. As I was just about to have a rummage around the [...]

My brain was wandering today, and it wandered back to the Arizona desert, to a two day stretch when our attention was consumed by grasshoppers.
For one reason or another, on these two particular days, there were grasshoppers absolutely everywhere. They were apparently in the midst of some sort of migration. Also, they were [...]

Just some little bits and pieces of thoughts of late:

The other night when I was coming home from work, I had one of those absolutely glorious and magical rides that just makes you happy to be alive and pedalling.  It has been surprisingly cool and rainy lately and there’s quite a lot of marshy [...]

Who says I’m playing? Trash-pickin’ is serious business you guys!
Anyway, yesterday we found a dumpster that was a BONANZA of clothing…good stuff too, some of it with the tags still on it!

We actually ended up leaving plenty for the next scavengers! Melissa nabbed a pair of lime green pants and a shirt that [...]
