21. December, 2001 - D'Ohh, it's already the solstice.

• Google News Headlines are another fine way to catch up on what's going on in the world. And a really cool thing for Google to be doing. Google Rocks!
• Is it time to start shorting the stock of the record companies? Music industry off tune, Universal to release copy-protected CD in U.S., Music So Nice, You May Pay Twice are countered by Don't steal music, pretty please and Concerts to raise money to fight record companies. Even the musicians have had enough.
• Brad asks, "Do you think it would be wrong to sleep with your gynecologist?" Heh!
• The moral minefield of a boy's dying wish to get some.
• USDA won't close plants that fail salmonella tests. Hey, I guess it's okay for them to sell tainted meat now. ULCH!
• Hopes for a white Christmas are fading fast here in Minnesota. Monday it was in the 40s again, and it was near that all week. Twin Cities 'normal' temperature to change - warmer by half a degree. And the ground is warm enough, that even if we get some snow, it probably won't last.
• The Star Tribune's "The State We're In" series is pretty good. Sadly, they don't have a URL for the series so I've got to point you to Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4 individually.
• Merriam Park's Hidden Lock and Dam talks about a dam that isn't there anymore. But the remains are historically interesting, and maybe someday we'll get better access to 'em. There's a fair number of folks in Minneapolis working on that.
• I added Roasting Rub (spices to put on a roast beast) to Dave's Recipes.
• Mike at Keep Trying is giving out the "What am I, Chopped Liver?" awards. I nominated myself for "Least satisfying after getting there via a google search" since I just don't have the pictures of Rockbitch, Osama bin Laden, or Salmonella (a recent entry on the search list) that people seem to crave.
