It’s Cabin Boy the Younger’s 18th Birthday today. So, we’re celebrating.
Jackie Robinson sent a telegraph to LBJ during the 1965 police brutality in Selma, Alabama.
I have a lot of difficulty tolerating intolerance.
Obama’s scheduled trip to Israel is coming at a very tricky time.
A reminder that caring for large predators is a dangerous job.
Would you pay someone to light your face on fire? Apparently, this is big in China.
Don’t wake me up, bro.
What’s weird in your neck of the woods?
this isn’t payback for trying to frame you yesterday, is it?
congratulations to cabin boy the younger. he sounds like another potential ride home.
Nah. I didn’t even know that you were defaming me at Duncan’s place 🙂
Having driven with him last night, you may want to rethink that… 🙂
At the San Diego Zoo the Tiger enclosure has a glass window, and every once in awhile a tiger will come right up to it, and even put its paws against it. You can actually put your nose an inch from their nose.
They are quite amazing animals, they look so amiable and furry. But they are the scariest thing I have ever seen in my life. Hold your hand out, fingers spread as far as you can. Their paw is bigger than that. Hold your arms out in a circle, with finger tips of each hand touching, their head is bigger than that.
At the Zoo I was once taking pictures of a snow leopard in its fenced enclosure, it suddenly sprung down leaped at the fence and clung from the chain link trying to get me, snarling all the time. Completely out of the blue. I got a (very blurred) picture of it trying to get through the fence at me.
No doubt it would have killed me if it could have.

Now imagine yourself as a lightly armed Homo Erectus.
Happy birthday wishes to CBtY! My elder granddaughter shares his birthday. She’s 10 today.
I wonder how many waker-uppers got their asses kicked later on?
happy birtday to cabin boy, the younger.
Happy birthday to the Cabin Boy.
Today was supposed to be move-out day for me. I rented this place for $995 a month with utilities included. It’s a bedroom in a house. Anyway…I decided the room is too small, and there’s a room upstairs for $100 a month more. Trying to re-negotiate the lease.
I got a short lease on purpose for this very reason (3 months, with the option to renew).
Ugh. The rent is too damn high. I might look for another place; Springfield didn’t look too bad, $1100 for a two bedroom no utilities included. But the metro ride is so much farther…
