In The Community: We looked up and a small flock of giant Turkey Vultures circling us at the edge of Bibler Gardens as we videotaped FVCC's Current Events show up there yesterday. The Hockaday Museum of Art is still upgrading that database! John Rawings' multi-media CD is ready for next week's presentation at the Rotary Club. John played that SAME presentation in Cairo, Egypt a few weeks ago, and was rewarded with an invitation to build a ceramic installation in Egypt's Museum of Modern Art this December.

Media Watch: I had a lapse of taste and watched So You Think You Can Dance? -- they replayed that unfortunate lady throwing up AGAIN, but most of the show consisted of good dancers. GAWD! They're dragging it out for nine more weeks at two shows a week though.
Christopher Hitchens was on NPR yesterday morning -- I turned him off rather than ruin my day. It turned out he's adding public drunkeness to his current M.O. of spewing out weasely right-wing propaganda.
Frankie Thomas was the last interviewee in Earth vs. SF Filmmakers -- he played Tom Corbett, the original Space Cadet, during the early 50's. Here's a fairly good Tom Corbett Space Cadet Website.
I really don't recall seeing that show as a kid in Salt Lake City, but I remember their competition -- Space Patrol.


Here's one of those opportunistic male Pheasants eating out of our box feeder on the back deck Tuesday evening. Our cats don't mess with these big birds!
