Oh wonderful human, won't you please give me people food?
Well, ok.....

Dude! Electrocution hazard!

Miss me yet?

My wife would wear this shirt with pride, but I'm pretty sure she wouldn't consider the words to apply to the family pooch.

Wonder what's on the other cheek?

Awright you white people, stop having fun right this minute!! If I can't have any fun, neither can you.

Snow surveyors have now determined that we enjoy the fourth deepest snow pack at the Soda Springs measuring station since 1946.

A very interesting article on a blind man who has taught himself to echolocate so well that he can ride a mountain bike.
Mark Laita did these.
Found them here, but watch out if you go there, as it's about as edgy as it gets (although very entertaining, if you can handle it).

America's combined energy resources are, according to a new report from the Congressional Research Service, the largest on earth. They eclipse Saudi Arabia (3rd),China (4th) and Canada (6th) combined - and that's without including America's shale oil deposits and, in the future, the potentially astronomic impact of methane hydrates.

Wow! This is the best time lapse video I have seen to date on the northern lights. Be sure to watch this fullscreen. Jättekul!

Obama administration: The action in Libya isn't war, it is a kinetic military action!
Over at Ace's, they have come up with a top ten list of euphimisms for war, and have offered them for free to the Obama people for use in any other "action" in the future.
My favorite: Really just a kind of sanctions, but "dark, edgy" sanctions with "attitude" and a "troubled, mysterious past."

Reason # 39 why Illinios and all it's citizens are boned:
A Chicago are school superintendent makes more money than the Illinios governor.

Here is something you don't see in California anymore, grizzly bear tracks on the beach. Better be armed and ready in Alaska.

Ouch! Toyota tells US auto plants to be ready for shutdowns if parts from Japan cannot be sent.
Sounds to me like an opportunity for a US manufacturer of parts to step up.

First, we learned that St. Louis' population had dropped 8% over the last decade. Now we learn that the ultimate progressive/liberal/democratic sewer hole, Detroit, has lost a full 25% of it's population over the last ten years!
Is there anything that can really be done with a city this far gone, except plow it under and start again? What lessons can be learned from this amazing transformation from world industrial capital to dying slum?

NASA's solar dynamics observatory has photographed a very active sunspot emerging from behind the sun on it's left lower quadrant. An extreme surge of ultraviolet radiation was detected by the observatory on March 21st.
This appears to be the second coming of sunspot 1165, which was last seen in early March, and while on the other side of the sun has been growing in activity. If it spews it's energy toward the Earth in the next few days, we may see some interesting effects here on the home planet.
Stay alert, Earthlings! The solar furnace is angry.
