Cat burglar suspect in garden-glove thefts – Yahoo! News As if the gardeners of Pelham don’t have enough to worry about, with the rocky soil and the slugs and the big trees casting too much shade, a feline felon has been sneaking into their back yards and carrying off gardening gloves. Goche’s flower-patterned number may soon take its place on the clothesline that’s strung across the front fence at Willy’s home, which he shares with Jennifer and Dan Pifer, their 19-month-old son Hudson and a mutt named Peanut Chew. Above the line is a sign that says, in words and…

I don’t usually go for memes, but this one caught my eye. The idea is, if you’ve watched at least 3 episodes, you get to put the show title in bold. There are a couple of shows, like Inuyasha or Father Ted, where I’ve seen one episode or two, and might have watched more if I’d remembered to schedule the time. Add to this the new SciFi.com show Eureka, which premiered tonight. We liked it a lot,and added it to the Season Pass list. Also, they have the coolest.shwag.evar advertised on the Made In Eureka home page. I wants me…

The “measure tech” is here from Anderson Windows to do the precision measurements on all the windows we’re getting replaced with energy efficient vinyl-composite. Notes on installation of new windows: Will need to not only remove existing blinds, but remove brackets and reinstall them. We discussed the trim around the patio door; it will be replaced with trim that matches the floor we had installed 2 years ago. Exterior decorative shutters (fake ones) are probably not going to survive and we’ll probably have to replace them. Background: several weeks ago David and I decided to do something about the windows in the house,…

What fun, the thunderstorm they warned us about today hit pretty much right on schedule – the temperature dropped 15 degrees in just a few minutes once the rain finally started. Earlier, David and I went out front to watch the lightning, which was confined to just the high clouds, but it was flashing constantly. At least it will be cool enough to sleep tonight – the air conditioning unit for this house is a little underpowered – and I’ve got candles going in case we lose power in the next few minutes. It’s constantly rumbling overhead with thunder –…

It was inevitable – now the international press laughs openly at Bush as Putin gets in a “tough jab” (Quicktime video) at Bush’s expense at the G8 summit press conference. BUSH: I talked about my desire to promote institutional change in parts of the world, like Iraq, where there’s a free press and free religion. And I told him that a lot of people in our country would hope that Russia will do the same thing. I fully understand, however, that there will be a Russian-style democracy. PUTIN: We certainly would not want to have same kind of democracy as…

Salt Lake Tribune – Air Force pilot vandalized pro-Bush cars DENVER – An Air Force officer with hundreds of hours of combat time pleaded guilty Friday to defacing cars with bumper stickers supporting President Bush, and was given a two-year deferred sentence and ordered to pay for the damage he caused. Lt. Col. Alexis Fecteau, a decorated officer who flew 500 combat hours in the Gulf War, Kosovo and Bosnia, pleaded guilty to felony mischief and must pay restitution to the owners of the damaged cars to clear his record. I really do have to wonder what it was that…

And the sooner they all get taken up and crash into each other mid-air, the better: For the first time in my Christian walk, I have no doubts that the day of the Lords appearing is upon us. I have never felt this way before, I have a joy that bubbles up every-time I think of him, for I know this is truly the time I have waited for so long. Am I alone in feeling guilty about the human suffering like my joy at his appearing some how fuels the evil I see everywhere. If it were not for…

BBC NEWS | Africa | ‘Moonie’ archbishop rocks Vatican An African archbishop who scandalised the Catholic Church with a ‘Moonie’ marriage before returning to the fold looks set to shock the Vatican again. Emmanuel Milingo has held a surprise news conference calling on the Catholic Church to allow priests to marry. Oh, yeah. That guy. Pretty wacky, eh?
