Weather: More thunderstorms in the afternoon yesterday, but not as severe -- it just started to rain lightly as I was starting to videotape outside.

Wildlife: Hear no skunk, see no skunk, uh-oh we can still smell those stinkers at times.

Media Watch: I saw some of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction from 1994. Uma Thurman was very charismatic, and still is. John Travolta was actually good! I liked the weird 50's nightclub scene very much. Honorable mention: Rosanna Arquette.
The History Channel had an interesting show -- Lost Dinosaurs of Egypt.
From www.historychannel.com:
Famed as the "Valley of the Golden Mummies," Egypt's Bahariya Oasis is also home to one of the greatest concentrations of dinosaur remains on earth. The German scientist Ernst Stromer discovered the fossils in 1910, but his collection was largely destroyed during World War II. Remarkably, paleontologists did not return to Stromer's site for over half a century.
THE LOST DINOSAURS OF EGYPT is a gripping account of the Bahariya expeditions. Rare photos show Stromer's groundbreaking journey, while Josh Smith, the young leader of the 2000 expedition, talks about the rewards of working in "dinosaur heaven." And the cameras are rolling as Smith's team unearths the remains of Paralititan Stromeri, the second-largest dinosaur ever discovered. Video on sale HERE
The best part of the show was the way they told the story of Ernst Stromer -- he lost two sons in WWII, and his gigantic fossils were destroyed by Allied bombing over Munich in 1944. Luckily, one son came back from Soviet prison camps in 1950, and started a family. Prof. Stromer had some good glass negatives of his discoveries too. The artifacts may be gone, but the data remains, in a form that allows it to still be studied.
