Gardening - Instructions to plant asparagus

We're planting asparagus for the first time. The crowns finally came through the mail - with no instructions included. So what do you do? Go to the internet. This video looks like it gives good, detailed instructions.

Sonic Boom

Want to see what a sonic boom looks like? If you don't want to watch the whole launch go to 1:50 to see the "pressure waves". Interesting.

Pants on the Ground

This guy was the last audition for American Idol this past week (1/13/10). Even if you're not a fan of AI, you've got to see this.



This is one cool rapper!

There's an interesting article about him at http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/realityrocks/301708/general-larry-platt-a-real-american-idol/

Snow Melt

Snow Melt - 12th day

The 12th day after the original snow storm on Christmas Eve 2009. The temperatures are now single digit, so all that melting will turn to ice. Doesn't sound good for driving in the morning. Oh no, this was a panorama and all you can see is 1/3 of it. Click on picture and go to Flickr to view complete photo

The Orangutan and the Hound

I found this on the Kim Komando site today. Here's what she had to say about it:

"Dogs really are man’s best friends. But maybe they’re just best friends in general. It’s hard to think of more unlikely buddies than these? Roscoe is playful old hound dog. Suryia is an equally playful orangutan.

Suryia lives in an endangered species habitat in South Carolina. Roscoe was a stray. They met while Suryia taking a walk with his handlers. They saw each other. They approached each other. And they played. Their friendship was instantaneous. When it was time to go home, Roscoe followed."
