Yahoo! News – Top Stories Photos – Reuters – I don’t know how long this photo will stay at this URL, but it’s a young (apparently attractive) woman with a t-shirt that says, “REPUBLICANS ARE SEXY.” On her head is a Wisconsin “cheeseheads” hat with a Bush Cheney ’04 sticker. It takes all kinds!

Well, this past weekend was the end of the busy-ness, and was a “Spanish Immersion Weekend.” That’s a program that Colorado… Continue reading Spanish Immersion Weekend

Here’s an interesting insect that our cat, Rufus, found today. It looks like some sort of mantis, but I didn’t realize they had wings. I took this photo while the bug was stuck to the side of the trim around the back door to the garage.
