Interesting news of the day

Vargr is on his way back home to Colorado now. I hope his plane is not delayed or cancelled out of SFO to COS. Had the chance to have lunch with him, boojum & Shadowcat-x. Very nice lunch IMO: had triple shrimp scampi. [must try the stuffed shrimps next time at 'ye sign of the red crustacean'] Shadowcat-x was a bit sleepy [just waking up] and I hope she gets a call-back from the sleep-study clinic!

The oft-abused orchid on the deck is actually blooming. This makes 3 times in 15 years. It is a 'painted lady' and the spike of blooms is very lovely. Very unexpected.

Found a link to the 'worst jobs in history' - went and read about them. Yup. Those are some rank jobs, all right. Check out: http://www.channel4.com/history/microsites/W/worstjobs/index.html
