This Cardinal has been flying into my windows repeatedly for four days now. I’m not sure why. Every few minutes. SMACK-SMACK-SMACK.
I’m tempted to catch him and take him for a ride somewhere so he’ll give me some peace.

That’s what it looks like now. Hurricane Bertha is taking a hard NE turn and looks like it will bypass not only the US but Bermuda as well.
This is a positive development I’d say.
The BBC News is reporting a suspect arrested over the killing of two French students is being treated for burns to his hands and face.
It’s been interesting watching some murder cases now that I’m a father. I find that I’m actually thinking about things in more a legal sense, not so much guilty or not guilty, but in the sense ‘how to make someone whole’ (a key to Torts law) after there has been a murder.
I think to all that someone spends raising a kid, spending money on clothes and toys that have no long-term value, but are merely expenses paid as part of development. Countless hours and dollars go into this effort, and when there is a murder, it is like an investment totally lost.
How do you even begin to pay for that? There is no rhyme or reason to the numbers. Is the loss of a PhD candidate any more than the loss of a prostitute? The world may say ‘yes, a PhD candidate will offer more one day’ but to a parent, the answer is the same–it is a total loss.
And in this case, a loss over a Playstation? What is going on in the UK?

Associate Press about the recent removal of ‘yellowcake’ Uranium from Iraq and over to Canada. The Iraqi government sold this remnant of the Iraqi nuclear program to a Canadian Uranium processor who will turn it into nuclear fuel for power plants. American military forces had to come up with a way to transport this through the insanity of some militia-controlled areas and then across the ocean without the insurgents getting wind of the convoys.
More on just what Yellowcake is and is not, and you may remember that word coming up as part of the Valerie Palme affair.]]>
