Off camping and other news

Well, Lora, Serenity, Topanga, Buster and me are all heading out for Caswell Memorial State Park tomorrow with the SFBUNies so there won't be any posts here for at least the next four days.... unless there are... there is a Starbucks 8 miles away in Modesto where we could pick up wifi.

Anyway, there won't be many pictures from me because my fancy schmancy camera is FUBAR at the moment and I haven't had the time nor inclination nor cash to send it off for repairs yet.  I have no idea what happened to the thing.  Usually I drop them or spill soda on them or crush them in narrow cave passages but this time I really have no clue what I did to break it.  :-(

Finally, the whole vegetarian thing is officially history for us :-)  It would be nice but it's so much cheaper to buy packaged meats and such from the evil agribusiness conglomerates that I've given up on the idea of treating our avian, porcine and bovine brethren with love and respect and am just going to eat them in whatever form comes cheapest.  Sorry about that my animal sisters and brothers :-/

Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...

Child Driven Education

Here is a Ted Talk with Sugata Mitra on Child Driven Education... very unschooling-like I think.  :-)  I've seen videos of him before, this is an update on his research on letting groups of kids learn on the internet, mostly without any supervision at all.  Posted via email from The Angry Gnome

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/
