&#8216;96 Lithuanian Basketball Team and &#8216;friends&#8217;.  (photograph by Jack Straw&#8212;a joke for dead fans)
Chris told me this great Olympic story about the 1992 Lithuanian Men&#8217;s Basketball Team&#8212;how the first team was partly sponsored by the Grateful Dead.  Naturally, they wore colorful tie-dye warm-up uniforms, sporting a version of the typical skull logo&#8212;typical if [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Sendoutcards Kind of Weekend at Burney Falls</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everybody!  I am thrilled to the bone!  How about them Democrats! It was such a sweet victory that blogging seemed lackluster by comparison, so I skipped a couple of weeks (times two).  I even bought a vintage coat on ebay to commemorate the purpling of our nation.  Yes, folks, the coat is very purple&#8211;purple [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Shrink the National Debt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The National Debt is just a little over one light-year. I don't know about ya'll, but I'm feeling a lot better about a National Debt of only one light-year. Our closest star friend, Proxima Centauri, is 4.3 light-years from the Sun.  The Canis Major dwarf Galaxy is the nearest to our solar system and it's 25,000 light-years away.  Astronomers who hazard a guess say that the whole universe is a whopping 79 billion light-years across.  I think I'll stop there.  (a joke)]]></description>

		<title>Fog Drip, Winter Storms and Sequoia Sempevirens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sequoia Sempervirens or the coastal redwoods we saw along the trail are the only representatives of their kind that live so far north. They like to hang close to the ocean for the moisturizing effect but don't want to breathe a lot of salt. It's more the fog drip along the coast that's necessary for their well being.]]></description>

		<title>Spaceship Visits Mount Shasta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That's why you don't see airplane pilots (unless they're gliders) buzzing around tall topographic features like mountains.  The downdraft could suck them under.  Here's the thing, folks, lenticular clouds may look like they're standing still, but they ain't.  These clouds are constantly forming in the updraft and dissipating in the downdraft and sometimes contain winds of 50 knots or more.]]></description>

		<title>Heck of a Job, Johnny</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a more in-depth grading of each candidate's performance, one that involves substance, style, offense and defense click here on Time.com.  Political analyst, Mark Halperin, assigned each candidate an overall letter grade:  Mccain got a B-, while Obama snagged an A-. "Two more performances like that and he (Obama) will be very tough to beat on Election Day,"  Halperin said.]]></description>

		<title>Spiraling Towards Social Capitalism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Spin is like religion---a mater of personal preference, so why not be proactive? In other words, don't let the spin choose you, go out there and find one you like.  Happy to say, you're allowed to bounce off as many conflicting conclusions as you want on the way to settling down.  Senator McCain does it all the time.]]></description>

		<title>All Clear for Landing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a 'know-nothing', I'd call it a lenticular cloud capping a thunderhead, but there are many names for lens shaped or Lenticular clouds: Cap or pileus clouds, banner clouds, orographic clouds and 'spaceships' all describe the round, stationary, atmospheric formations of condensed water vapor or ice crystals that hang out above or near mountains.]]></description>
