When I first saw this URL: www.numedicine.com,
I misread a "t" after the "u." And I thought it was very clever; taking off on the idea that alternative medicines
might be considered as being something for nuts, but they actually do eat a lot of nuts, and that's only a part of why
they're so much more healthy than the rest of us. But I had read it wrong. A Whois search
informed me that no one, in fact, has reserved the name nutmedicine.com. Opportunity? |

You wouldn't want to use
any of these bug recipes, or course, if Orkin
had just been there and sprayed their chemicals. These are more for hunter-gatherers than broadcast poisoners. |

favorite of a whole set of pan-pix of the Mall area, featured today on the Washington Post's site. |

Homes To Which I'm Not Particularly Hoping To Be Invited
For Dinner Dept.: I saw a bumper sticker on the back of a low-slung sedan yesterday reading, "Why did I have to
get married? I didn't even do anything wrong!" |

A building-side
sign in Demopolis, AL. This is a picture
I took last spring, and for some reason I have been thinking about it. Demopolis
is an old southern town with a colorful history, and enough off the beaten
path to have retained much of its character. |

Persistent and persuasive are
good qualities for, say, an applicant for a sales job. But they are not desirable traits for chemical
compounds such as found in Scotchguard,
as this Washington Post article reports. |

A good collector can bring together a collection of

Be warned, this 1895 map of Louisiana
is a big download (about 1.5MB), but it's a great map. This is one of many "bonuses" at the

Help in identifying different
kinds of trees. You could haul your laptop and
cell modem out into the forest...or, I suppose, take a leaf to your computer desk. |
