Can we get Michael Jackson to die again? Because I think that's the only way we'll get rid of all the royal wedding coverage...for a wedding that doesn't even have a date yet.
Isn't this why we dumped King George? So we could be done with royalty?
Can we assume this was either a medical or mechanical emergency?
Parking Fail
One of the characters in Ivanhoe is a palmer. Before that was a name for golfers like Arnie it referred to someone who made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (as in the Crusades) and brought back a palm branch as a token of their journey.
See what you can learn by reading? My life is deeply enriched by this information.
First Steve Nash and his wife, who just had a baby. Now comes news that Eva Longoria is divorcing Tony Parker, guard for the San Antonio Spurs. Reports say she found hundreds of messages from another woman on his cell phone.
Any discussion about which professional sport requires the most intelligence can dispense with basketball. To quote Jay Leno's question to Hugh Grant re. Elizabeth Hurley, "What were you thinking?!"
I started a new "home improvement" project this week. I'm taking pictures of the process which I'll post when it's done. But if it continues at today's pace that could be 2014. It involves digging a pretty big hole in the ground. And that's what we have here...ground. You can't call it dirt and it certainly isn't soil. A dozen swings with a pick ax and then four shovels into the wheel barrow. Repeat endlessly, or at least until your back gives out for the day.
I'm working at the clinic again tomorrow, running some electrical and ethernet cable. Then lunch with my daughter. That will be the best part of my day...of any day.
Brief post tonight. Used up all my energy digging a hole. I'll try to do better tomorrow night. Until then, a math problem:
A man puts a rabbit into a box with a hole at each end. The rabbit sticks his head out the hole on the left and then pulls it back in. Exactly 60 seconds later he sticks his head out the hole on the right, and then pulls it back in. Exactly 30 seconds later he sticks his head out the left hole and 15 seconds later out of the right hole. This continues, and each changeover cuts the elapsed time in half.
How long until the rabbit's head is sticking out both holes at the same time?
A: In theory, 4.666 minutes. In reality it can't...unless you're willing to split hares.

I found a large auger bit attached to my 18v cordless drill properly applied to the intended area for the hole worked wonders to make clay more penetrable. Or, Scotsman, you can rent a BIG auger.
I used the word "hole" loosely. It's more like a pit. Two feet deep and about 8 feet square. That's a lot of augering.
A) I was just thinking the augering some holes would break up or segment the dirt enough to make pick-axing and shoveling a little easier.
B) The "parking fail" seems staged since the camera operator was adjusting the angle and breadth of the view prior to and during the event. How many people manually videotape their parking lot?
