Laura and I went to Bozeman, MT last weekend. While we were there we took a short trip to Yellowstone. The only part of the Park that is open at this time of year is Mammoth Hot Springs and the road through the Lamar Valley to Cooke City, MT. I have posted more pictures at Flickr.

I used to hate cole slaw. The reason is simple–mayonnaise. I like mayonnaise in other places, but mayonnaise and cabbage should never go together. Below is one of my favorite slaw recipes–Firecracker Slaw from Steve Raichlen’s best cookbook–BBQ USA.
Enjoy!

So says Bob Carter in the Telegraph:
For many years now, human-caused climate change has been viewed as a large and urgent problem. In truth, however, the biggest part of the problem is neither environmental nor scientific, but a self-created political fiasco. Consider the simple fact, drawn from the official temperature records of the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia, that for the years 1998-2005 global average temperature did not increase (there was actually a slight decrease, though not at a rate that differs significantly from zero).Yes, you did read that right. And also, yes, this eight-year period of temperature stasis did coincide with society’s continued power station and SUV-inspired pumping of yet more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
In response to these facts, a global warming devotee will chuckle and say “how silly to judge climate change over such a short period”. Yet in the next breath, the same person will assure you that the 28-year-long period of warming which occurred between 1970 and 1998 constitutes a dangerous (and man-made) warming. Tosh. Our devotee will also pass by the curious additional facts that a period of similar warming occurred between 1918 and 1940, well prior to the greatest phase of world industrialisation, and that cooling occurred between 1940 and 1965, at precisely the time that human emissions were increasing at their greatest rate.
Check out this article here, Apple doesn’t think it needs any advice. I guess Apple already knows that the iPod is great, but iTunes sucks. I guess I don’t need to tell them.
According to this article, this is what C.S. Lewis wrote on a paper by Kenneth Tynan when Tynan was a student at Oxford:
Keep a strict eye on eulogistic & dyslogistic adjectives
Who is at fault for bad tax preperation–the people who write acutally write the ridiculous laws like Senate Finance Committee Chair Chuck Grassley or the tax preparer?
