• Looked at a site called Sodahead earlier, as I understand it the idea is anything you have bubbling in your head you can ask and on a public comment form people can answer your question. Under the science tag was the question What is your favorite type of vampire?

• In the backyard near the fence separating my yard from the pasture is a little scrub tree. One time I put some leftovers there to try and get a picture of the coyotes that come around. It then became a place where I dumped the vacuum dust, and grill and fireplace ashes so no one would step in them and track them in the house. I toss whatever that's biodegradable there now- you know, crud.
