Via Palgolak: Yeah…I’m screwed. No, I don’t think that a dip pen is likely to slow down an encroaching zombie. Sure, it’s nice and sharp so maybe I could use the pen to stab the zombie in the brain, but I’m not sure it would penetrate through the skull into the zombie’s brain on one shot, and I’m not sure the pen is strong enough to retain its shape and sharpness for a second stabbing attempt. Or maybe I could pour the rum from my hip flask onto the zombie and then use the matches to set the beastie aflame,Down the rabbit hole….

IOD: Coffee, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. It’s International Overalls Day, or as I call it, “Saturday”. Originally created by Niels Windfeld Lund, a University professor from Norway who manages to out-do even my devotion to the Sacred Garment, this day is just a time for like-minded goofballs the world over to bask in fellowship and sweet, denim comfort. There’s a Facebook page and everything. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need more coffee. Share This PostDown the rabbit hole….

Well, I suppose that title may be putting things a bit…strongly. And definitely rudely. Sorry about that, Girl Scouts. But! Everybody loves Girl Scout Cookies, right? I know that I do. I love cookies in general, but the Girl Scout ones are special. My favorites are the Thin Mints (everybody’s favorite, I suppose) and the Coconut Samoas, those wonderfully chewy blends of fudge, caramel, and toasted coconut. Of course I’d love the Samoas, given my adoration of coconut, be it in candy bars, in cream pies, on cakes, et cetera. Even on fried shrimp. Of course, the problem is thatDown the rabbit hole….

A couple of weeks back, I took a short vacation. OK, it was actually a five-day weekend, but I called it a vacation, because that’s what it felt like. Below is a really long recitation of stuff I did on that vacation, complete with lots of photos, so it’s after the break. :: I went for several walks in the woods, one alone and one with The Wife. The one I undertook solo was a visit to one of my favorite Western New York spots, the Charles Burchfield Nature and Art Center, located in West Seneca, NY. I’ve blogged aboutDown the rabbit hole….

Sunrise over Orchard Park, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. The sunrise sky was particularly striking one morning last week, so I aimed my phone over my shoulder and snapped a picture. Yeah, it’s all blurry and stuff, but the colors are the important thing here. We get beautiful sunrises and sunsets here. (I think I read somewhere that Buffalo is the only major city east of the Mississippi where you can see the sun set over water, owing to its position on Lake Erie.)

Taughannock Falls, originally uploaded by Jaquandor. OK, I didn’t want my one-sentence rant about Carl Paladino (the next post down) to be the top-most item on this blog for most of the day, so here’s a pretty picture. This is Taughannock Falls, located near Ithaca. We were just there last week (more pics to come from that trip). We’ve gone this time of year for the last three or four years, although we don’t stop by Taughannock Falls each year (even though it is very easy to get to). This year, the week preceding our trip was much rainier thanDown the rabbit hole….
