Stupid human stories: My brother and sister-in-law are in Yellowstone right now. She was telling me a tourist was gored by a bison last month. He was taking pictures from 10 feet away and the buffalo charged and gored him in the upper thigh. He's okay, it wasn't life-threatening.
Even more mind-boggling was what they witnessed first-hand yesterday. A mother let her two little girls run into the woods after a black bear while she waited for them in the car.

I am enjoying having my Facebook language set at English (Pirate) more than I really should. I am still laughing at some of the stuff that pops up because of that.

Click settings, than go to language, its in the pull down but towards the bottom, not with the other English versions.
It is amusing but some of the apps don't use the right terms and its impossible to figure out what to do. I think it may have been the iPhone version that eventually broke me. I made it about 2 months.
Pull up a seat at the Big Kids' Table and graduate to Bid Whist. The difference is like putting a bucket of ice in front of a fan, and having central A/C. No comparison.
Back on the topic of the pirate 'language,' I found a fairly amusing website that will translate other website into pirate for you. http://www.syddware.com/cgi-bin/pirate.pl
For example, VF21's post directly above mine comes out as:
Went and saw the King Tut exhibit at the de Young museum in SF yesterday and spent some time at the California Academy of Sciences today. Nice trip, would have been better if our 6 year old was not so, well, 6 year old-ish at times.

I loved that kind of stuff, too. I remember going to the LA Natural History Museum and, if my memory is correct, the La Brea Tarpits are at that location. Of course, we had quite a few school field trips that I remember. I think one was the LA Philarmonic, I know I went to the opera and the LA Times. A personl favorite was a visit to the Mother's Cookies plant. Yum!
I still like museums. Washington DC is a dream come true. There are something like 26 or 27 different Smithsonian museums and they are all free. You have to pay for special exhibits, but there's so much to see you won't feel like you missed a lot by skipping special exhibits. I could easily spend a month there and its so easy to get around on the subway.

I have family near DC and we've visited a few of the Smithsonian museums. I remember one had a submarine simulator where you and 4 family members are placed in simulation room with a large screen. None of my relatives knew what they were doing and we eventually ran out of air. I was a horrible captain for a 9 year old.
I've been really getting into ebay lately (trying to build up enough money for my dream TV) and I've been going through all my toys and stuff from when I was younger to see what I can sell... but I can't do it. Specifically with my Lego's. I love me lego's. I was really good at building stuff and used to spend days at a time making things... My lego people are really valuable and can go up to $10 per lego person, so I'm really tempted to sell them. I would feel really bad though... Anyone else feel this way about something?
In a shelf in my room I still have a 2 lego castles that my aunt bought me back when I was in the 4th grade. They are covered in a blanket of dust. Back then I feel into legomania and I still have a lot of disassembled sets in a storage container in the closet, I don't know what to do with them but I plan on passing them along someday. I have many things from when I was little in good condition taking up space.
