Mmm, government propaganda is everywhere
This little gem was printed in the comments section of my latest paystub:
Terrorism forces us to make a choice. We can be afraid or we can be ready. Choose to be ready. Visit http://www.ready.gov or call 1-800-BE-READY for a free brochure.
Meanwhile, not only are we invaded by cicadas but I nearly stepped on this guy. Barefoot. It was moseying across the carpet this morning. I'm glad I saw it in time because, thanks to the lovely and knowlegeable folks at GardenWeb, it turns out the bug is a blister beetle. I could have spent the day in much pain and not be able to walk right now.
In other news, there's a severe thunder storm coming (here, actually). We're ordering pizza.
Oh, it's HAILING! Back later!
Later:
Well, the plants survived the hail, thunderstorm and tornado warning, but it was kind of, well, yellow out there.
Meanwhile, I finally downloaded photos from my camera (no longer an easy task since the multiflash card reader died).
Cicadas
Stuff
It's nice to see it in the animal kingdom, too
Pandas @ work
Tee hee - I'm going straight to hell!
The Afterlife Test
Your score is 44.
You are going straight to Hell! You appear to have the courage and conviction to live as an individual in a world that pressures you to become a conformist. You are a seeker of knowledge and an artist of life. Your future will never be peaceful, but you will be alive.

Holy CRAP those cicadas are out of control!
I can't figure out what I think of the pandas.
And COOPER! Give Coop a snugglin' for me, will ya?

"moseying across the carpet this morning"
Aaaaa! Bug in the house, bug in the house!!!
It would have been deeply gross to have stepped on it - ick.
Suddenly I remember the days when I never ever went barefoot in my own home. No, I do not miss the swamp.
Meanwhile I had no idea that that was what a blister beetle looked like. I feel well informed. I will now be on my guard...
And now, photo related comments.
(I'm in a very babbly mood)
It's very strange to see a panda with FDR on its shoulder. Like a tattoo.
Are the ducks being kept away from the fountain? Quick quick - get the barriers up - the ducks are coming?
(I have an idea that the barriers are probably for people, right?)
Under stuff - what is that plant?
And all those bugs - are they all dead? Yeep! Man I hate those dried empty skins - blek. We had them all over in San Antonio and my dad would threaten to put one in my hair. Eeeeeee!
Why does my miserable IE 5.5 just give me little red "x"s, and why when I click on the x anyway do I get a 404 error?
Is it something I typed?
