Britian's Enterprise and

term of copyright for designer objects, such as furniture, which will endure
for 70 years after the creator's death -- meaning that you'll need a license to
post photographs of your own belongings.

"A grandfather's dream

You know how I love headlines:
From the article:
Ms Mann, a science teach (I
swear) opposes the solar expansion because she believes it would lower her
property values. She also said that plants near solar farms do not thrive
because there wasn't enough sunshine left over for them to photosynthesize. She
also evinced a belief that solar panels cause cancer. Her husband added that
solar panels "suck up all the energy from the sun."

My state is still plagued with shit like this. Bridges are still out all over the place.
That's the kind of shit that happens when a state doesn't have a cash reserve.

And lastly I want to discuss a very special woman.
My wife was at an event that I did not attend and had someone take this photo with two of our good friends.
He's cool and all, but his wife is one of most favorite people. I emailed her that had known she was going to be at the event, then I would have attended. Accompanying her reply was a movie someone did to document her extraordinary life. And I watched it.
Those friends got married out of state, so I couldn't go.
When they got back in town they held a reception for the folks in South Carolina. This is the way she looked when I first laid eyes on her.
I was sitting at the end of a long bar when he came in and I stood to get a better look at her for the first time. We made eye contact and she hurried down the bar, hugged my neck and said, "You've got to be Ralph." I asked how she knew that and she said, "I read you blog every goddamn day!" I loved her from that moment on.
The hour long film of her that I watched had her talking over images, and she nailed it.
There were plenty of images of her as a skinny kid who wanted to throw things, then she reached her peek.
Before they married I asked her to-be husband what she was like and he said, "She throws." I asked what she throws and he said, "Everything." And come to find out, anything an athlete can throw, she has thrown it.
Needless to say, she spends A LOT of time in the gym.
And then right in the middle of her college career, she had another challenge.
She won a world record in the Highland Game - one of many awards.
Her record still holds.
The wife and I once attended one of her and her husbands events and it was amazing.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present Adriane Blewitt Wilson, my friend.
