Feeling Really Decadent...

...Because I am eating a Macaroni-and-Cheese Waffle Sandwich. It's the Carolina Gold sauce from Trader Joe's that makes it special, though.

Two people asked, with a shudder, if they were Blueberry Waffles. No, they're just plain waffles. Decided to stop after one sandwich, though, because it was too many good things at once.

 

How to use Web Fonts

 

Ever wanted to use a Distinctive or Unusual Font on your Website? I just put this together for the Boston Comics Roundtable, but think that Storytellers and Writers could also make use of it: http://www.storyspace.org/Unusual_Fonts.pdf. Use the Adobe Reader minus sign control to zoom out until the PDF is the right size for your eyes, and ignore the part about Lettering and Artwork. See you at Sharing The Fire!

For the truly Discriminating Traveler...

Has it come to this? It just seems like you can't plan anything without invoking yet another storm:

 

Continents Collide

...Hundreds of millions of years ago, in Connecticut

I saw this picture from the above article, and immediately recognized those rocks. They look just like the ones at the sides of Ragged Mountain in Southington, CT, one of my favorite escapes while at the Upstate Normal School.

 

Also, listen to this (from an influential 1966 paper on Plate Tectonics by Prof. J.T. Wilson): "New England is divided by a major fault zone into two provinces underlain by quite different rock formations. Of the few occurrences of the Lower Paleozoic faunas, all those with European affinities lie to the east of the fault zone; all those typical of North America to the west." This is a clear, scientific explanation for the sharp divide between Red Sox and Yankee fans.

Still Snowing

Just came in from shoveling a path to the side yard, so that I could refill the Bird Feeder. Had lots of anxious little birdies trying to get that last seed or two from the very bottom of the feeder. Not quite as bad as the famous Midwestern storms where you had to have a guide rope from the House to the Barn, so you wouldn't get lost on the way to feeding the Livestock. But, it's still coming down, and it could end up being as much snow as last week's Blizzard.

People from Alaska are complaining that they have no snow. They're welcome to come here and take as much of our snow as they'd like. Just as long as they leave us enough for some X-Country skiing.

Oops!

As they lead him away, the Alien is saying, "Our planet has no more coal. Selfishly, and thoughtlessly, we used it all up. Now we search the Galaxy for someone who will give us coal!"

But now, all Santa will bring them are socks and bow ties....
