Decided to take a road trip this weekend with one of my best girls. Cleveland Rocks! Details to come. Ta!
Birdseed Thief!
Check out this brazen hussy totally bogarting all the seed in our backyard.

Traffic Lights
After sitting at a local traffic light last night, the geekboy and I got into a discussion about timers and do lights really know if your car is there or is it just dumb luck sometimes that you’ll roll up to the line and it will change and blah blah blah? I maintained that everyone talks about these fancy detectors in the road, but nobody really knows exactly how they work or if they even exist. And if there are detectors, why have I sometimes spent what felt like HOURS sitting a light in the middle of nowhere? The geekboy’s argument was basically, “Whatever, freak, it’s tiresome to argue with your know-it-all ass, look it up and you’ll see.” So I did. Turns out sensors do exist, but not every single traffic light has them. So there you go.
Toronto Advice Needed
Hey Toronto peeps! Reader Nora needs your help:
I’m getting married in Toronto in August and am looking for a restaurant at which to have an after-ceremony dinner. We’re looking for something that will be fancy enough for a big day, but also someplace that will welcome kids (5 under six years old). We’d love someplace that has a private room/alcove for our group of about 15 people total. Near downtown would be nice, but not a requirement.
List your suggestions in the comments – with links to websites if possible. Thanks!
Whipping Boy No More?
And though no one has a crystal ball, it’s not asking too much that a well-considered understanding of the circumstances and history of Iraq and the Middle East should have been brought into the decision-making process. The responsibility to provide this understanding belonged to the president’s advisers, and they failed to fulfill it. Secretary of State Colin Powell was apparently the only adviser who even tried to raise doubts about the wisdom of war. The rest of the foreign policy team seemed to be preoccupied with regime change or, in the case of Condi Rice, seemingly more interested in accommodating the president’s instincts and ideas than in questioning them or educating him.
This idea, or even these words, aren’t new to us. But what IS interesting about them? The author.
Buy Dad a Recycled Suit
Just in time for Father’s Day, Sears is selling suits partly made from recycled plastic. How cool is that? [via]
