MORE rainy late-Spring weather under the dark old Big Sky. Eastern Kingbirds are fluttering around the fields by Little Foy's Lake. I spotted two families of Canadian Geese on my way to work today in Firehouse Pond, and took some photos on the way back. (Posted 6/13/06)

In The Community: Sunday at the Hockaday Museum of Art again! We had some visitors from rural Alberta who LOVED what they saw, and some North Dakota travellers who were pleasantly surprised at the quality of our museum. I also had to catalog and condition some signed Thomas Hart Benton books we have on display. I played Ken Burns' PBS documentary in the background.

Sitemaster Sez: New Jersy was looking for sideshows and found the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus in the archives. Someone else was looking for current Rolling Stones backup singer Blondie Chaplin, and found my essay about the Beach Boys -- Chaplin sang the lead on one of my very favorite records by that group Sail On, Sail On, Sailor!

Media Watch: Who wants to see any more of THIS? Pathological liar John Stossell whoring one of his stupid books on CSPAN. The man who coined the term "Junk Science" is it's leading practitioner. Leslie (Wolf) Blitzer interviewing an obviously scared and powerless Iraqi minister, as if either of them knew how to pour piss out of a boot by reading the directions on the heel.
There's always NPR -- St. Paul Sunday is spontanious and different. Their news programs often try to inform us, but they are bound by many of the suppressive paradigms that cripple other mass media.
