  • A Few Weeks!

    A Few Weeks!

    The UMM Biomass Gasification Facility A few images I took of the south end of the new building on October 3, 2008, the date of its official dedication. So okay, it’s been a few weeks since my last post; my apologies for that. Things have once again been busy, and when I’ve had a few…

  • Do We Have To?

    Do We Have To?

    Do We Have To?Sylvie was looking around, almost as if asking if she had to leave… Eesh, that’s almost been my own mental note of writing as of late. It’s now been three-and-a-half weeks since the last rambling, and that’s really not saying much. Life has been busy as of late. It seems always as…

  • Creationism Versus Evolutionism

    Woof, Woof! Koshka howls at me to get out there from her latest snow hole adjacent to the house. Back in November I rambled on about a phrase I really hate: ‘Grow’ whatever. Well, I happened to be reading an article online this afternoon which was an overview of Governor Pawlenty’s State of the State…

  • It’s Really Too Bad…

    Cast & Crew Back in November, I wrote a post about the End Of An Era. I humbly signed off from a most exciting (albeit sometimes tiring and work-filled) period of my life as the One-Act director. In my various bits of resignation communication with the administration, I warned of the difficulty in finding someone…

  • Another Take On An Old Issue

    Elmer Fudd Gets Revenge We were watching the Family Guy 100th episode special, and I randomly took a picture of the TV. To Pay Per Channel, or Pay For A Package? I heard another report (on the radio) recently that the Federal Communications Commission is once again taking up the à la Carte cable channel…

  • A Phrase I Really Hate!

    Strong — Like Bull!This was the picture of my ‘bench pressing prowess’ that Phil took. But before I get that far, I’ve decided to write several posts tonight (each on their own topic) rather than combine a bunch of thoughts in hopes of somehow weaving some resemblance of continuity and purpose in a single post.…

  • Consuming A Bag Of Chips And A Weight Loss Drink Does Not A Good Diet Make

    It’s MY DeskAnd you can’t have it. So there. Well, until you pet me. Okay, that’s a bit of a strange title. My apologies. This subject came up today during morning coffee, and it was pointed out that someone is drinking a very expensive ‘health drink’ to be generally healthy. I countered with a point…

  • Another Week At The Mill

    I’m With Ducky! She was so happy and excited to get pictures taken tonight. Even when posed with her little ducky. So it was a Monday, and I could tell. It was pretty quiet at work today, which was nice…but in an odd way it’s also nice to have at least a small fire to…

  • Why Block Firefox : A Follow-Up

    IronyIt’s not just for fairytales anymore… So it is Friday…and I was a little bored at work (and happened to be following up on this blocking of Firefox business since I brought it up at the afternoon coffee ‘break’). Before I get too far into this, there’s a point to the picture in this post…

  • Monday, Monday

    Reach Out! She was just looking for toys when I took this series of pictures. So inquisitive, she is. And cute too. It has been a most interesting day today, if for nothing else that I learned a few random things. First off, I learned that there are still people on the Internet that behave…
