A bit late as usual but here’s the October coffee cup. This month I chose a sunflower cup. Somehow, even though I found this cup on sale around June or July, it just seems to shout FALL to me. The leaves around here are starting to turn (well some of them are). The temps are […]
Well, I just watched the Vice-Presidential debate. As far as I’m concerned this debate goes to Biden. (And I don’t he like him as a candidate — and you know that if you’ve read my earlier political rants.)

I just love it when science finds that not only is eating chocolate okay — it’s even good for you. Of course, not for all of us — a friend of mine gets migraines if she has too much chocolate, or even a bit of it. But then for the rest of the chocoholics of […]

This issue is Carbon Emissions: A Field Guide to American’s Favorite Greenhouse Gas. It’s one sheet folded in a manga size (height x width) not thickness. An advertisement for Hybrids, […]
I get spam. I get lots of spam. Spam, spam, not beautiful spam. And it’s too bad because the real spam, the kind that comes in a can, isn’t bad. When I was a poor struggling student, I ate spam a lot (and not the script for the play either). I had spam sandwiches, spam […]
