{do you miss him yet?}

It's Tuesday... 


  "I'm not here on a Tuesday. I know, I know what 
you're thinking- If I'm not here on a Tuesday, 
and we're not open on a Tuesday, and today is Tuesday 
and I'm standing here, then how can it be. 
Well, it depends on how you look at it!"
Laws of Attraction, anyone? 

 
... a little something from Sunday's shoot.
It was so muddy that we couldn't get anywhere to shoot! 
So, we'll try next weekend and wear boots this time!


It's funny, I was just talking on the phone with 
a friend about how much we actually dislike President Obama.
It always surprises me when I find a less-liberal 
opinion piece in the NY Times, and today I did just that!
Stanley Fish wrote "Do You Miss Him Yet?" last night.
Read it, you won't be disappointed (if you're a conservative, that is).

The Lorax Knew What He was Talking About

"UNLESS"Did you know that approximately 13 million hectares of forest are lost annually in our world? (One hectare = 10,000 square meters). Over 232,000 square miles of Amazon rain forest have been deforested since 1970. Forests are the primary absorbers of the carbon dioxide that is trapped in our atmosphere, accelerating the unnatural heating of the earth. Perhaps we should listen to Dr. Seuss's Lorax and take care of our trees...

Political Cartoons Speak Loud & Clear

Translates to "American-Iranian negotiations about Iraq."
Interesting viewpoint. I found this in a collection of political cartoons published in newspapers across Iraq. Both of these are provided by the NYTimes. I always like hearing what the people who live in the war zone feel like...
However, I think people here in the US should remember that at least we have done some good things in Iraq... this cartoon translates to "Four years occupation, terror, mass killing, sectarian violence, sectarian and ethnic displacement," referring to Hussein's rule.
War's not pretty, and perhaps now we're playing referee between two religious groups, but we have done some good things for the people of Iraq so far... I think that's important to remember.
