Though we've often looked at it with interest over the last couple of years, for the 17,689th time, we have nothing to do with that blog and do not know the true identity of Billy Blades. (I suppose we'd pay...
Unfortunately, we started with a bit of a memory lapse. I remember starting to feel something as they stitched me up, so they gave me extra drugs. Not only do I blame them for some memory loss, but they also...
There is a reason why people are fighting so hard to get creationism taught in the public schools along side evolution as a scientific alternative. Americans, on top of not having a clue what a cell is or what radiation...
Fuller has finally hit the hay for his afternoon nap. He has been up since 6 am, enjoying the outdoors mainly. We went "swimming" in a raft this morning, he got to ride the golf cart, and took a boat...

Chattanooga Fun / Chattanooga Convention Center & Visitor Bureau has a new website built by a company in Arkansas (full disclosure: we did not bid on the project). It's an embarrassment that the marketing/promotions organization for Chattanooga has chosen a...
I'm going to start on a set of a few Friday Creatures that never made it up when I was in Florida last month. Check me on this first one. I spotted this yellow-crowned night heron right after tropical storm...
Here's a noble dalmation I saw peeking out of a window in Anghiari, one of my favorite Italian towns. The bars of the window jut out so he had a huge sill/window seat to stand on, I think. He contrasted...
