Awakish.

Finally dragged myself out of bed after trying to ignore my alarm for the better part of an hour. Anyway, I am somewhat awake now and drinking coffee. I've got a busy day planned as tomorrow is our annual solstice dinner and there is still much cleaning and preparation work to be done. That said, we've been more organized that usual this year and while there is still LOTS to do, and much that we now know won't get done, we're further along in our preparations than ever before at this point.

So, I'm gonna drink my coffee, read the comics, have my shower, grab a breakfast and then its work, work, work.

Elephant Poachers.

No, not poaching OF elephants. Poaching BY elephants. Some smart elephants have figured out that during the dry season the best way to get food is to stop food trucks and take what they want...

Revolving People Zoos.

In Curitiba, Brazil, someone has built an apartment building in which each apartment fills an entire floor and can rotate independantly of all other floors. Sounds Nifty!
