Thanks to the good offices of Father Jake, we now know that God placed an ad in the British newspaper The Independent, trying to get someone’s attention at the time of the G8 meetings: Father Jake Stops the World: God Places Ad in British Paper In our area we occasionally get roadside billboards from the Almighty, such as “Don’t make me come down there – God” in times of national stupidity.

Geeky Ramblings » Cicada David and I had a nice weekend… and we encountered several million new friends. We drove down to Morton Arboretum to relax and walk around and take photos. Actually, although I had my camera along, I took no images, but just enjoyed the sounds. We finally encountered the 17-year cicadas, and they put on a pretty impressive show.

Storm? What storm? | Chicago Tribune Before taking off for dinner, David and I pulled all the patio chairs off to the side of the house and secured some lighter things so they wouldn’t blow around. I stuck the last few unplanted plants in the ground in the “kitty garden” and along the side of the house. The wind had been blowing hard all day, but it was hot and humid, a very weird and unsettling sensation. All through dinner, we watched people out on an outside terrace eating their dinners while clutching their hair and belongings to keep them…

Today’s kind of a hard day for me. In this photo of Mom from her 90th birthday party, she’s not actually sad, she’s probably just trying to read a birthday card. Either that, or she was wondering “Now where the HELL is my glass of white zin?” Via: Flickr Title: MurphBday025 By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 8 Sep ’05, 11.17pm CDT PST I think she’s trying to read a card and work out whether it’s funny or not.
