Pretty neat how the top comes right off.  Convertible, fuel efficient and sharp.  Not a bad combo.

Spanx? Seriously?

I wanna know who the marketing genius was behind the branding of this “Power Panties” line carried at Seasons On Main.

How do you suppose that board meeting went with the advertising executives?

I say it went something like this-

Ad exec #1- “I’m having a hard time coming up with a name for our new “Power Panties” line, what do you guys think?”

Ad exec #2 “How bout we put a black chick, a white chick, and an asian chick on the cover of the box topless and call them “SPANX”?

Ad exec #1-“Fucking Brilliant!  Lets go with it!”

The boy brought his A Game and creativity in his Sustainable Cape Ann best with flower boxes containing herbs that he uses in some of his tastiest dishes.

Candy Marshall’s MillRiver Beadworks at The Sidewalk Bazaar

100,000!

100,000 hits to the blog since January 1.  The way I have my counter set up it doesn’t count my visits as a “hit”.  The response has been great and it’s been a whole lot of fun meeting new people and hearing from the new and old contributors that leave comments.

Thanks everyone, you can see we have something good going on here by the steady upward trajectory in amount of people viewing.

Baby Dogfish Embryo Video from Chironomus on YouTube

This is what the baby dogfish look like inside a dead female dogfish.

You can see that the babies are still alive even though the mother is obviously cut open and dead as a doornail.

We talked about planting a bunch more asap.
