Your Tax Money at Work
Here’s a nice picture of everyone in Congress playing solitaire…
From Casey’s Daily Dispatch:
Here we see House Minority Leader Lawrence F. Cafero Jr., R-Norwalk (standing on far right) speaking while colleagues Rep. Barbara Lambert, D-Milford, and Rep. Jack F. Hennessy, D-Bridgeport, play Solitaire as the House convenes to vote on a new budget.
Also, you’ll notice the guy sitting in front of these two to the right is on Facebook and the guy behind Hennessy is checking out the baseball scores.

Deep Fried Everything!
Ahh… the North Carolina State Fair Cuisine in its highest form…
Highlights include deep fried PB&J, deep fried cheese burger, deep fried mac and cheese, and a variety of deep fried desserts such as oreos, candy bars, and pecan pie.
Your heart surgeon thanks you for your future business.
Pictures are from my friend Liz M.

Wormwood
Saw this in the store, was quite surprised – Absente. “The first absinthe style drink to be sold in the US since 1912.” Apparently the US Govt finally lifted the ban on wormwood?

Blood Falls
Picture of Taylor Glacier, in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica, forming a feature commonly referred to as Blood Falls. The iron originates from ancient subglacial brine that episodically discharges to the surface. Outflow collected at Blood Falls provides access to a unique subglacial ecosystem that harbors a microbial consortium which actively cycles iron, sulfur and carbon for growth.
