Immortalized on Thing of the Moment
This famous blogger is someone who I met on the internets, the tubes, the interwebs, blogosphere, freakysphere, etc.
Our relationship began when I answered a want ad for a photography student, but that's a story for another day. His name is jkirlin and today, my wife and I were immortalized on his blog as you can in the above picture.
For this, I am eternally grateful. Becky is eternally freaked out. And the authorities are eternally prepared.

Kaitlyn Likes To Eat
Edit 2/23/2009: Welcome to all Kaitlyn's who got here from Facebook's "Kaitlyn likes to" read www.patrickkaine.com!
I noticed while looking through some video, that I have a ton of her eating! We have always said she is a very passionate eater!!!
What a nut.
end of summer
Neither one of them is really in focus. probably b/c I was using 212 mm and was about 10 feet away.
My sigma macro lens can focus at about 10", so 10 feet 'aint no thing. Well, that is, if you don't mind a shallow DOF.
Can you see his foot?
I walk out of an appointment and hear a rustling up in the trees and as I look up 2 squirrels are falling from about 40 feet and land in street with a low thud. Ouch.
So I walk over and one little guy is obviously dazed and confused since he doesn't do anything as I stand 6" away from him. His friend must not have been taught to "never leave your friends behind" because he was back in the tree in 3 seconds. Than, almost as quickly as they fell out of the tree the little one wakes up and BOLTS DIRECTLY BETWEEN MY LEGS.
Holy! I do a 180 and see that he ran under my car but didn't seem to come out the other side. As I meander to the passenger side, the above picture is the scene I captured.
So what did I do? I poked him with a pen to get him out of there. What would you do?
Well, the poking definitely worked because he moved - by climbing directly into my engine compartment! Hmmmm. So I opened the hood and couldn't see a thing.
Next, as I'm lying prone on the street (in my suit) looking for the little guy - the accountant whose office I just left - walks out at this moment and genuinely asks "Engine trouble?"
MMMMM, I'M LYING IN THE STREET IN MY SUIT!!
After a short explanation, he laughs and steps back a few paces. Must not be a squirrel fan.
A few more turns of the steering wheel and a 1/4 roll forward, my little buddy fell backwards onto the street and sundered off - looking a little I will after a night in the Bahamas.

Palin lied, distorted the truth and thinks Americans won't even check her facts
The Obama camp did, and here's a long rundown of her lies/distortions/rhetoric/more of the McSame.
Here is the link instead of the entire text.... I realized you had to scroll to China to see the next post :-)

Multiply by 11
Having trouble memorizing the 11 times tables?? Here is a really easy trick that will help you master about all the 11s tables up to 50! First you take any number multiplied by 11 such as 26. Take both the 2 and the 6 and add them together…and you get 8. Then put the number 8 in-between the 2 and the 6 and you have 286. Try another number such as 45. You know the drill, 4+5=9. 495 is the answer. This can help you out a very lot when you are multiplying big numbers by 11. The only part it becomes tricky is when the numbers that add up are over 9. Then you have to carry over and find out the answer.

The English Language is easy!
Just read this out loud:
I take it you already know,
Of tough and bough and cough and dough.
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, laugh and through.
Well done! And now you wish, perhaps,
To learn of less familiar traps.
Beware of heard, a dreadful word,
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead - it’s said like bed, not bead,
For goodness’ sake, don’t call it ‘deed’!
Watch out for meat and great and threat,
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt).
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there,
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there’s dose and rose and lose –
Just look them up – and goose and choose.
And cork and work and card and ward,
And font and front and word and sword.
And do and go and thwart and cart –
Come, come, I’ve hardly made a start!
A dreadful language? Why man alive!
I’d mastered it when I was five.
