I sure do. Or at least I have them at work. As the summer progresses, I’m always amazed at how these elephant ears grow so large from nothing each year. I’ve always meant to get a photo before Fall hits them. Took advantage of lunching out with a couple of iPhoners. I stood among the ears to give a sense or proportion.

Gotta like fizzy bubbles in space.
Three 10 minute videos tell the story of a school project from the 70’s that was found in a used record store decades later.

I use iGoogle.com as my home page. (Used to use my.yahoo.com.) You can customize the home page to track news, weather, stocks, etc. I added a Google Trends gadget after the Sarah Palin announcement. This little gadget often beats news announcements because it reflects the current “buzz” so quickly.
Just spotted #10 on today’s trend list. Mom’s oldest brother is “spicy”.
If you are ever curious to what the world is looking for on any given day, go visit Google Trends where you can see the top 100 search topics.
With the VP announcement yesterday, almost a quarter of those 100 topics were related to Sarah Palin. Her Google “hotness rating” quickly hit Volcanic.
Today (Saturday of Labor Day weekend) she was quickly pushed to the back of the bus. The hottest topics of the day are “notre dame schedule”, “penn state schedule”, “georgia bulldog schedule” and the like.
As fascinating as this election has been this summer, America is moving on to something more serious for Fall: College Football.
The Sarah Palin VP announcement has created a lot of buzz in the house. This morning, Kathy pulled up this photo of a *recent* cover shot from Vogue. This is not a spoof. (Debunked by Ted.)
Dick Cheney never made Vogue. Which makes me think of Cheney’s hunting accident. Since Palin would often wake up at 3 a.m. to go moose hunting with her dad, I bet she is a better shot than Cheney.
Palin’s favorite food is Moose Stew.
This race was interesting, but it just got fascinating.
A poem by my sister.
I went to the mailbox and what did I see?
My brother Jeb sent a DVD!
What a surprise, what a treat!
I ran inside and took a seat.
I stuck that disk into my laptop.
I started watching and could not stop!
The people the scenery, the pictures of Dad,
It made me feel happy, joyful, and sad.
I thought to myself, “that Jeb’s a great guy”
I’m happy to know him and if you ask me why,
I’ll tell you he’s funny, he’s charming and wise
he’s a sensitive, creative, original guy!
If you get to see him one day soon
tell him he’s more fun than a big red balloon.
