Check out this brazen hussy totally bogarting all the seed in our backyard.

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.

And Michelle Malkin is an ass.

Congratulations!

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!
