Wildlife: Four baby Killdeer birds were scurrying around on Buckboard Lane, near the bottom of our hill. There's a Killdeer nest two doors down from us, so we are hoping to see more of these tiny Plovers close at hand after the 4th of July.

Weather: These evening thunderstorms are getting noisier and drier. Drop some rain, if you're gonna make such a racket!

Media Watch: Queer Eye for the Straight Guy featured an openly gay client for a change. As Carson Cressley once said about their straight clients (paraphrased): "They may do different things in the bedroom, but they're all just guys."
This episode was proof that straight folks do not have a monopoly on slobbiness.
Bollywood "Action" (i.e. violent) movies still have their share of singing and dancing. We were watching a rip-off of "Strangers on a Train." (Maybe intended as a tribute to Hitchcock's classic -- the acting is good at least.)
We've also seen a crib of "Body Heat," and a rather fun robbery of the "ET" idea.
