creativity is too good an idea to be reserved for artists, microbloggers, bookmarkers, lifestreamers, colleagues, timewasters, junkies, emailers, archivists or subscribers.

A yellow jacket nest engulfs the inside of a 1955 Chevrolet sitting on the property of Harry Coker, in this July 13, 2006, file photo, in Tallassee, Ala. To the bafflement of insect experts, gigantic yellow jacket nests have started turning up in old barns, unoccupied house, cars and underground cavities across the southern two-thirds of Alabama. Specialists say it could be the result of a mild winter and drought conditions, or multiple queens forcing worker yellow jackets to enlarge their quarters so the queens will be in separate areas. But experts haven’t determined exactly what’s behind the surprisingly large nests. - FenceHopping

close votes are a feature, not a bug

Every vote over the minimum necessary to secure passage represents compromises that the Democrats as a group would prefer not to make … the Democrats wrote the strongest bill they could that would get enough votes to pass. That’s good strategy.” — Rafe Colburn

We like to say the invention of the internal-combustion engine changed us, changed the way we live. In truth, we built the Model-T Ford because we had changed; we wanted to remake the world to accommodate our restlessness.

The only thing there is to drink is water that comes from a nasty well, which tastes as if it had a dead mule in it. However, we are given purifying tablets, which are very good, and make the water taste as if it had two dead mules in it.
