This morning driving to work, it was slow going on Princeton Pike. Then I saw it, on Princeton Battlefield State Park, the white ground hog! I was just for a few seconds, but I would not stop. Maybe tomorrow, when I’m not car pooling with my wife, I’ll visit and try to catch a photo of the elusive, sacred, animal. Hay, people don’t call some Native Americans crazy for thinking white buffalo’s are sacred.
This Thursday is Yuri’s Night. I know nobody who celebrates, and even if there was a party closer then NYC to me I don’t think I could make it. Nevertheless I will try to entice my family out to dinner that evening and I will order a Vodka drink and, assuming dictionary.com is correct, I wall say ваше здоровье
and watch my wife and child look inquisitively at me while I try to explain it to them. Apart from, maybe 萬虎, Ю́рий Гага́рин was the first human is space. You can’t take that away from the Soviets.
I’ve been taking gardening a little more serious this year then I have in the past. Wondering what the Pennsylvania government had to say about gardening in this Commonwealth I discovered that the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission says The Penngift Crownvetch is the official beautification and conservation plant, as enacted by the General Assembly on June 17, 1982.
Says so on their Pennsylvania: Past and Present Symbols page just above the state fossil. Then the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural resources puts the Crown vetch on their Invasive Exotic Plants In Pennsylvania List page. Wikipedia tells me that Crow Vetch indeed does have a Penngift variety.
Worth a letter to my state representatives? Perhaps I should assume they are reading my blog.
In the USA, to watch the Cricket World Cup in the comfort of your own home you need DirectTV and $200. So if you live near me, invite me to a party! I’ll root for Ireland, I’ll root for Canada! I’ll root for the West Indies! I’ll be the only person at your party not rooting for India, I do live near New Jersey. I have never seen a Cricket match in my life, do they call it a match? A test?
Today is expected to have a high of 38°F, tomorrow the low is expected to be 41°F. Since Monday it often been below 30°F. Last weekend it was in the fifties. I guess that’s Indian Winter? On a different note, but in my mind related, New Hope’s Blue Tortilla is one of the few places one can go in my area and actually get spicy food! It’s mucho deneras, but every now and then it’s good to get something that makes your mouth feel like it’s on fire.

Every news outlet I visited this morning highlighted Ms. Clinton and Mr. Obama’s silliness. I just wish one of them would come out and say While I think I would be a better president then φ, I still think that φ would be a great president and would endorse φ over any Republican.
By this time next week I hope to see them holding hands and saying things like We are merely exchanging long protein strings. If you can think of a simpler way, I’d like to hear it.

I found a new CSS trick yesterday. If you have a block of CSS that messes up other browsers but Mozilla browsers stick it it a @-moz-document block, like:
CSS for every browser here
@-moz-document url-prefix()
{
Mozilla only CSS here
}
It would be really cool if every browser had some sort of @ rule to parse out browser specific code like this rather then using tricks.
