Layers of the Earth

Here is one of the many t-shirts I wish I had when I was still teaching. It details the layers of the Earth in a much more reasonable way than I ever could.

My shoe...

There really are no words to explain the weirdness of this article out of British Columbia. I think the first line of the article really does a good job in grabbing the reader's attention:
Three severed feet have washed ashore on B.C.'s Gulf Islands in the past six months -- all right feet, all in sneakers --in an increasingly bizarre mystery for police.
Here is the article.

My advice? If you have a size 12 shoe, don't go running with the right shoe on. Run bare footed, or at least squeeze into a size 9.5 or 10.

Heart strings


This picture is killing me - it makes my heart break. But it also gives me hope that lives are being changed.

There are a group of bloggers from around the US (maybe the world?) traveling with Compassion to Uganda showing the lives of the children living in extreme poverty (financial, education, and nourishment).

Here are three blogger's view from Uganda

Have you ever seen Lorraine?



After watching this, I am not real sure these actually aren't the lyrics.

America's Most Miserable Cities

Imagine living in a city with the country's highest rate for violent crime and the second-highest unemployment rate. As an added kicker you need more Superfund dollars allocated to your city to clean up contaminated toxic waste sites than just about any other metro.Unfortunately, this nightmare is a reality for the residents of Detroit.
Here is the list:

1. Detroit, MI
2. Stockton, CA
3. Flint, MI
4. New York, NY
5. Philadelphia, PA
6. Chicago, IL
7. Los Angeles, CA
8. Modesto, CA
9. Charlotte, NC
10. Providence, RI

Do you agree with the list? Which would you change? Any place you want to add?

Work? What work?







At this point it does not appear that I will be going to work OR that Morgan will be going to school tomorrow! Anyone want to babysit a 2 year old while I'm working from home?




The snow has turned into sleet, which means the roads are going to be icy. You would really have to be an idiot to get on the roads tomorrow around the Atlanta area - not because YOU can't drive in the snow, but because no one around can!

To rednecks snow just means you drive faster and see how far you can skid!





Man I wish I still had my snowboard! There are some pretty good hills around the neighborhood.

Make a wave...



How many things are wrong in this picture?

I count 5:
  1. No ice around the beer.
  2. Beer bottles (made of glass) not plastic - which could be hazardous for the pool. Hello? If the glass breaks the pool could rip.
  3. Not wearing sunscreen - look at the farmer's tan!
  4. They clearly haven't waited for 30 minutes after eating before getting in the pool (the electric grill appears to still have food on it).
  5. The home-made flotation devices can't be Coast Guard certified.

The Cabinents Are Bare...



I promise I feed her whenever Jen is out of town on business, but sometimes everyone needs a little snack!

Where in the world?

What do the following things have in common?


Chicago, Yellow fever vaccinations, a Fat Ragamuffin and Whittaker Woman, Flower Dust, The BlogFather, and a Shlog.

They won't tell until Monday...


I think they are going to finally put their heads and blogs together and save the world!

Drought in Georgia

Don't know the source of this official drought information, but:

It's so dry in Georgia that the Baptists are starting to baptize by sprinkling; the Methodists are using wet-wipes, the Presbyterians are giving out rain-checks, and the Catholics are praying for the wine to turn back into water.Now THAT's Dry.

Save the candle. Save the world

To all those that are celebrating Hanakkuh - be sure to light one less candle this year to help save the earth from "man-made global warming"!

Here is my favorite quote from the article -

United Torah Judaism MK Avraham Ravitz called the environmentalists "crazy people who are playing with the minds of innocent Jewish people." He said the campaign would only convince people who do not light candles anyway.

"They should encourage people to light one less cigarette instead," Ravitz said.

Happy Hannukah!

You are #1

Be careful of the gestures you make!
Gestures are another area where care must be taken. As George W Bush stood watching his second inaugural parade in January 2005, he held up a fist with the forefinger and little finger extended.

Where he comes from, this is the victory salute of the University of Texas Longhorns, the "hook 'em horns". Not so in Italy, where the same sign can imply that a man is a cuckold. In Norway, it's the sign of the devil, more often used by fans of dodgy heavy metal groups than world leaders.

In Atlanta on any afternoon sitting in traffic you can see that many people think the drivers that just pulled out in front of them are #1 in their book, or as I have heard from a couple people that in those cars with the fish on the back the people are not telling you that you are #1, rather that they are looking forward to seeing you in heaven.

When I close my eyes....

this is where I really want to be!



Back In January



If you are in need of some high quality photos for your 2008 Calendar; you are getting married and need an engagement photo; need to get your kid's birthday pictures taken; or just really like the way you look in pictures, be sure to make an appointment with Daley Hake!

He can work a camera like no other!

Yoga is evil?

I was stalking this afternoon and ran across this gem. According to Skulls in the Sky, on the 700 Club Pat Robertson said that yoga is evil - "by repeating common yoga mantras, you are actually praying to Hindu gods Vishnu and Krishna and you're not even aware of it!"

For the golfer that has everything...

Blogger ADHD

I am in need of some change in my blogging life! I am thinking about switching over to WordPress, but until that time I am going to make some format changes and see if it will hold me over just a little bit longer...

Black Friday (on Monday)

Newest toy added to my collection:



Best Buy has the Magellan Maestro 3200 on sale for $160-ish. I had to pick it up at the store, but so far it has been fun to tinker with! The sale price is only visible once you put it in your "cart".
