Then I was walking back through my apartment complex, talking on the phone to my boyfriend, telling him about my coyote encounter, he told me that if I saw a fox I should catch it for a pet.  And sure enough, there, across the street, was a fox, drinking out of a puddle.  It was close enough for me to grab, and oh man, did I want to grab it- it was so cute that I would have risked rabies and superficial wounds just to snuggle it. I cannot believe my luck.

Jogging on the Boulder Creek path- a coyote just cut me off. Hope some of the pictures I frantically snapped can back that up.

Blag Hag: You know what else is an abomination, Maine? Lobster

I love when people use Leviticus to point out the Bible’s absolute nuttiness.  See also- guy with terribly ironic Leviticus tattoo, who apparently didn’t read far enough in the book to find out that tattoos are also an abomination in the eyes of god.

Point is, god doesn’t want people to have fun.  He certainly doesn’t want people to have rights.  He told the Israelites to wipe out the Caananites, because lobster is bad, but genocide is a-ok.

Who reads this shit?  Further, who takes it literally?

Civil rights are not a biblical matter.  They’re not even a states’ rights matter.  Get gay marriage off the ballot and into an amendment already.

Johnny Cash, “Ring of Fire”

It’s still Guy Fawke’s Night on the west coast.  Back at Reed we celebrated by dragging an effigy all around the Quad, tied to the back a classic VW Bug, and then burning the effigy in a bon fire, while Johnny Cash played and fireworks went off.

Double standards, politics, and drug treatment research

Worth a read if you care about public health and the sorry state of science funding in our country.

highamplitudesucking:  Icicle.  Fun to spell, fun to chew on, pretty to look at.  Took this picture on the mesa trail behind NCAR.  Boulder CO. Nice picture, Matt.  Can I borrow your camera?  Mine’s officially broken.

Dilemma

How can I reconcile iPhone’s touch-screen technology with warm-wooly glove technology?

Yes, it’s still snowing in Boulder. And yes, I’ve been using my nose to unlock my phone.
