“The main branch sits basically across the street from the river, so we got hit really hard. The water on the first floor was about five feet deep.” – whoa. they only thought they’d get a ft, so whole adult coll. is GONE. (via jessamyn)

I’m definitely going to want to explore this.

Mom took the train on her visit up here last month. (not because of airline prices; with her big accident only a year ago, she just couldn’t sit still on a plane that long.) Freakishly, her train home was EARLY.

not usually a cocktails person, but these look like “girl drinks,” so I could be good.

I wonder if I could pay Edith to make that for me?(tags: clothes)

the thing that intrigues me about the Amsterdam is that it comes with a skirtguard on the rear wheel. OTOH, definitely not enough gears for Oly hills.(tags: bicycling)

“One doesn’t need to get married in front of anyone else to make an emotional commitment. One does need to sign a piece of paper to get to visit your loved one in the ICU however.” I’ve said something similar quite often.

“Barack Obama has the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE tattooed on his stomach. It’s upside-down, so he can read it while doing sit-ups.” (in Courier for verisimilitude!)

“I just spent the first [3] years of my sons life trying to get him not to eat blocks, and now you’re telling him they taste like fucking strawberries. Thanks a lot assholes.” I want some, but then again, I’m not a toddler.

drool. also, yet another thing to do with the cast-iron pan!

“Chua is raving about Xtrema Ceramcor cookware for the safety-minded weaklings among us.” a possible alternative/addition to the beloved cast-iron? (we also have a nonstick pan, mostly for eggs.)

why have I never known that I share a bday with one of my very most favorite poets?! (I can’t say how many times I’ve read American Primitive.)

that is a freaking neighborhood association. (oh, if we’d been something big enough to have taken over the old Madison School….)

“We design and implement gardens that are, by design, low-maintenance, stable, diverse, and healthy… just like natural ecosystems.” starting to wonder if we should bring in a professional to help w/design.(tags: garden)

as much as I like carbonated water, I should probably do something like this. (I tend to buy the cans at Fred Meyer, because it’s the best unit cost, and I drink them quickly enough so they don’t go flat, as compared to 1 or 2 liter bottles.)

whoa. starting to actually use jquery with my own scripts. (I may even rewrite some old stuff.)

“Plan for Ajax from the start. Implement Ajax at the end.” A very succinct way to express it. (Shelley makes a similar point in Adding Ajax.)

“I’d just rather that the choices weren’t pre-determined for them” — exactly. I went to a baby shower recently where they knew it was a girl. I have never seen so much pink!pink!pink! in my life: all the onesies, socks, toys, etc. Bleh.

via 3quirks daily. 7&7 is pretty much the only thing I get, if hard cider isn’t available, because I can remember the name & usually like the drink. (also: old-fashioned! that’s what I used to get when I went dancing with Greyson!)

“Many factors account for the drop in Brazilian fertility, but one recent study identified a factor most people probably wouldn’t consider: soap operas (novelas).” AWESOME.
