Time to Build an Ark?

| 26 Comments | No TrackBacks
It's been raining.  A lot.  It rained yesterday, and it's rained nearly all evening today.  Yesterday I noticed that most of the mulch had been washed right out of the front flower bed.  (We really need to put gutters on the front porch to keep the water from collecting in that flower bed, which is right under the edge of the porch!)

It's supposed to rain all weekend, too. Argh.  Don't get me wrong - until yesterday I was starting to get concerned about the lack of rain.  But this is an awful lot of rain. 

I need to get a rain gauge.  I keep thinking that, and I keep not getting one! :P

The rain is preventing me from planting the last set of seedlings I bought at the farmer's market - the parsley, the dill, the zucchini, and the marigolds.  They're not holding up too well in those black plastic six-packs, either.  *chews on fingernails*

Hopefully the little squash are benefiting from all the water. And the little carrot seedlings.  And the tomatoes.  We've got to make tomato cages sooner rather than later, because I'm sure their growth will be astounding after all the rain. :)

This has become liberalism's standard reaction to terrorism: what did we do to MAKE them do this? It's co-dependent thinking, like the pathetic strategy of your child of an alcoholic to gain control of her chaotic earth. But co-dependency writ large is no basis for just a foreign policy. We really need to get sane, sober grownups back again in charge.

Great page, Carry on the wonderful work. Thanks a lot.|

Please let me know if you're looking for a article author for your weblog. You have some really good posts and I believe I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please send me an email if interested. Thank you!

Hey. This site is great. Thanks.

It was once said that the moral test of Government is how that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children; those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly; and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped.

I'm really enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It's a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer to create your theme? Fantastic work!

I like your blog! Lastly I have some thing to maintain my head doing work at this time. Thanks for that

Lovely just what I was looking for.Thanks to the author for taking his time on this one.

We haven't gotten our hands on any SnapDragon systems yet, but there are a lot of other modern things we could port too as well (including the new Nokias coming out, the Tegra, the iPhone, etc). It's going to be interesting to see how these sorts of games feel on these more powerful platforms.

Guten Tag Ich will mich bei einer Privaten Krankenkasse anmelden. Hier viel mir auf das grosse Unterschiede im Preis auftreten. Bei vielen zahlt man mehr anders als bei Konkurrenten die Qualit?t ist fast immer anders. Mancher hat sehr das nicht so gutes Image und mache sind beliebt. Nun finde ich super viele Webseiten im Netz bei Bing gefunden meine Frage, woher weiss ich welche die richtigen sind? Genau hier bei dieser Internetseite habe ich ganz gute Daten entdeckt die Frage ist ob das gut genug ist. Lohnsteuer Verein Ich moechte den optimalen Schutz zum kleines Preis und gut beraten werden. Diese Webseiten helfen schon viel weiter aber es wuerde mich freuen wenn Ihr mir mehr erzaehlen koenntet. Tausend Dank!

Cool Let us know if you find any free font that is interesting enough to be listed here.Thank you guys.

I am also a long time user of AFF. I am also very disappointed with the new version. I just want to find out a very simple population breakup by race and ethnicity based on 2010 census and I have been working on this for more than half an hour and still couldn't get it. ...

I still think about how much money was spent on commercials during the transition to digital TV. I am wondering how that money could have been better spent. Yes, we need to reach people about the importance of the census and kudos because everyone is talking about whether your add was worthwhile so as I sit here an write this maybe what you did worked. It certainly increased awareness.

I went back to college at age 43. Fear and motivation were two of my main driving forces. I managed to get through it intact and discovered my academic rebirth along the way. I amazed myself, completing two years of undergraduate work and two years of graduate work with a 4.0 gpa. Incredible how being older, more mature contributed to this success. I was no longer distractable from my goal to get those degrees. I encourage anyone hesitating due to their advanced age from going back to school to challenge your fears and give it a shot. Did me a world of good.

Any report(s) post Feb 6th (latest I could find) expedition turned back to base camp by high winds, but hoping to attempt again the next day)?

I'm not sure if this is what Nick meant by "dual audience", but there is also the issue that normal blog comments can comment on each other, not just on the original posting, and thus allow a genuine discussion to occur. The return to a "letters to the editor" type feedback system removes this, which seems a great step backwards.

Fantastic writing.A great deal appreciative just as before. Definitely will read more...

My mom just showed me this announcement about your peace conference. My sister presented at this conference when she attended Notre Dame. I would love to attend and learn from others, as well as give a short presentation about an after-school Peace Camp program that I am organizing and directing in February for 85 elementary school students and with the help of 55 high school students who will serve as counselors. The activities and songs are based on the Pledge of Non-violence. Please let me know if this is possible.

Love it. It's always fun to watch a dancing cat.

Ha! Yes, that would be fun. But, the problem with handheld games right now is the fragmentation of devices. The only device that interests big game companies is the iPhone, and they don't have a video API.

You didn't mention "white" rice or "white" potatoes. Many think brown rice (whole grain) is better and perhaps sweet potatoes sometimes rather than white
