Here is some stuff I read that I thought was interesting: June 7th – The Force is Strong with The Muppets at Disney Parks – Two great tastes in one! June 7th – “I’m proposing to make my school a prison” – How sad is that … June 7th – A possible link between pollution and crime—and marshmallows – I wonder if this might be related to the world-wide “epidemic” of increasing average weight among people and animals.

Looking around you house
I had a funny realization after the mattress delivery guys left yesterday. I looked around my house and realized that there are things I live with everyday, that i don’t think about, and sometimes don’t even really look at or see, that having a stranger, especially one who isn’t somehow attached to my social network might see and at minimum think is odd.
