Steppenwolf’s Tenderness
Steppenwolf’s Tenderness. My all-time favorite Steppenwolf song. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any extant video of John Kay actually singing this song—at least not on YouTube or anywhere in the searchable Internet—but this version has actual video of Steppenwolf, so it’s a step up from strange, amateur videos that show nothing but a [...]

How Did Economists Get It So Wrong? – NYTimes.com.
This article is long, but worth the read. It’s a year old, but prescient. Paul Krugman gives a lesson in how economists think and why they missed the boat in predicting the current recession. Fascinating. He quotes John Cochrane saying that high unemployment is good: “We should [...]
London Sperm Bank brand designed by Silk Pearce
Not sure I’m OK with the new logo. Yikes! Also don’t like the sexism in the campaign on LSB’s dedicated Web site that says “thousands of women are denied the chance of having children.” The truth is that the main reason that women go to sperm banks is because their husbands are infertile and can’t [...]

Moon Walk/First Drive
I was in a 400-year-old farmhouse in the New Forest area in the south of England when the original moon walk happened 40 years ago.
If you saw it, you would also remember. Amazing. Even on black and white TV. I was 16.
Today, my 15 1/2-year-old daughter took her first drive around the neighborhood [...]
The Family: Ensign’s ties to ‘Christian Mafia’
Here are two videos from the Rachel Maddow Show about John Ensign’s connection with a creepy, fundamentalist, and quite bizarre, secret Christian group whose leader praises Hitler in sermons. Why didn’t this break in the Nevada media? Here’s a link to a book about it: The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of [...]
Rainbow at Raley’s
On June 8, 2009, there was a stunning rainbow visible from the Mount Rose Junction. I first grabbed a shot from the side of the road, risking life and limb to stop on the Mount Rose Highway. Then caught a quick pic at Raley’s Supermarket. I like this juxtaposition of the rainbow, garbage can and [...]
Dog ate rat poison and lived
Lightning, our 8- or 9-year-old lab/terrier mix, snacked on a couple of cubes of rat poison that she snagged from the shed the other day. Fortunately for her, Dane saw her eating them. We took her to the emergency vet and they made her barf. Found out during the visit that ipecac will kill a [...]
Gardening as a dangerous sport
Yesterday, I gashed the inside of my left ankle somehow while gardening in sandals. I thought I would be OK to rollerblade, but this morning, I skated around the Marina, and it was quite painful. Shuffling off to the Alumni Skate Night now. Yikes!
