Headed home today. It's been an awesome vacation. # Random sights from our vacation: Giant RV hauling a full-size Hummer. # Cackling table of no-information inbreds ignoring Sunday punditry shows in hotel breakfast room. #vacationRAM # Cute ground squirrel ready for his close-up, begging for snacks. #vacationRAM # Farewell, Big Thompson River.

We went down to visit with my husband David’s parents tonight, for dinner and to celebrate my birthday one last time. My birthday was actually last Saturday, which was pretty fun as it was the last full day of vacation. We spent the evening with my college friend Arne, catching up and drinking delicious beers at Coopersmith’s Ale House in Ft Collins. Then on Sep 27, I celebrated my second birthday, because the first year we were dating, David thought that was my birthday. Also, my father-in-law got mixed up and thought it was the 26th, so they called a…

The biggest part of this story isn’t that Joe “Deadbeat Dad” Walsh was a late addition to the speakers’ list at the Illinois Tea Party Patriots’ “Teacon 2011” event in Schaumburg at the Renaissance Hotel. It’s that attendance in this story was reported to be about 600 activists, where only yesterday they were expecting at least a thousand, a lot fewer than attended last year’s “Right Nation” thing. Even with Glenn Beck headlining – and this year’s Right Nation has been pushed back, probably into 2012 in order to not conflict with this shindig and to be closer to the…

Here’s a fine post to really blow your hair back, commenting on a really dunderheaded statement by Mike Huckabee in a NYT piece about online activists pressuring companies not to give financial support to anti-gay hate groups. It includes some of the quiet ways big retailers like Apple, Microsoft, Netflix and Wal-Mart have channels for donations to certain groups, which on the surface are doing “good” work, but actually have ties to or directly support hate groups. And these hate groups claim the right to hate because “it says so in the Bible” as a God-directed mandate. So here’s Huckabee’s…

This dress would actually look better on a curvy woman. In fact on a true plus-size woman wearing a decent foundation, it would be va-va-BAZOOMS. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-15088308

Very, very windy; I’m getting turbulence just sitting in the car! My husband David is coming in in about 25 minutes, probably having a bumpy flight. Signs getting blown a lot, roof on a nearby bus shelter is looking like some trim might blow off. But I’m in a good spot to watch planes land and head over to pick him up; he says he just carried on. Don’t envy him the ride he’s getting… Via: Flickr Title: Thunderstorm over O’Hare – Windy City By: GinnyRED57 Originally uploaded: 29 Sep ’11, 5.48pm CDT

First came the “Running Chicken” nebula, and now comes a cosmic “Fried Egg.” A European telescope has captured the best image yet of one of the rarest classes of stars in our universe, and astronomers playfully point out that the cosmic scene resembles an egg white around a yolky center. via Fried egg nebula: European telescope captures image of monster star [VIDEO] – CSMonitor.com.
