Bald

"If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen."

... Henry David Thoreau

The Lake - Part II

"Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average."

... Garrison Keillor

"We just bought this house. It's too big. It's like 400,000 square feet, or something. We got an indoor lake and ski slope in the house! It's just too big."

... Adam Sandler

GOP Budget Cuts Target Tsunami Warning Center

From MSNBC:

A spending plan approved by the House would slash funding for a tsunami warning center that issued an alarm after the devastating earthquake in Japan. The plan approved by the GOP-controlled House last month would trigger deep cuts for the National Weather Service, including the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Hawaii.

Of course this comes as no surprise - because the Republicans need that money to give to their wealthy Masters. Duh.

Also, the states most in danger of tsunamis are all blue states: Hawaii, California, Oregon and Washington. So Repugs see no need to protect those dirty liberal commie hippies along the Pacific. Again ... Duh.

"Honey Badger Don't Care!"

If Animal Planet broadcast from Fire Island Pines during Tea Dance, THIS is what it would sound like. Hysterical:

A Day At The Lake

“Earth and sky, woods and fields, lakes and rivers, the mountain and the sea, are excellent schoolmasters, and teach some of us more than we can ever learn from books.”

“Perhaps the truth depends on a walk around the lake.”

...Wallace Stevens

“My Mom said she learned how to swim when someone took her out in the lake and threw her off the boat. I said, "Mom, they weren't trying to teach you how to swim."”

... Paula Poundstone

Synchronized Swarming

From The Daily What:

A disoriented swarm of ants separated from the main colony forms a circular mill called “The Death Spiral” — so named because the ants will continue to march in circles until they perish from exhaustion.
