Tigers, the Detroit Baseball Ones and the Other Kind

A few things have been going on with us lately - we went to the Detroit Zoo last week, and to a Tigers game last night. The Tigers and the tigers were travel-worthy as they hit home runs and yawned/slept, respectively.

It would be fun to drive to the store in the snow using this.

Hand-made bikes in England. I could watch films like this all day.

A video point of view of one person who worked on the "Curiosity". I dare you not to tear up a little.

Got an old piano you don't want? Turn it into useful furniture or a mailbox.

How do they get the javelins and discuses (disci?) all the way back to the Olympians? Here's how.

Rayguns!

I'm still a little unsure how this works, but it appears to work, and it's a great invention.

New Kittens

Two new kittens are living in our house now. My accountant says they can't be claimed as dependents, but if a cat doesn't qualify as dependent, I don't know what does.

Here's a brick we bought for the Humane Society's sidewalk to memorialize our three previous adopted cats, who are all now playing with balls of yarn and/or acting indifferent in Cat Heaven.

We're back from Frankfort, and as usual, we had good weather and lots of fun.

The view from our east window. The plaque is titled "Marquette's Death". It presumably lets the reader know how Marquette died. I'm not sure, though; we've stayed across the street from it for six straight summers, and I don't think I've ever read it.
