I’m still not feeling 100%, but today it’s time to get back in to work. Not sure what the day will hold, but I’m suspecting that a large part of it will be dealing with email from the days I took off. Wish me luck.

I’m winding down on the carousel photos. Today there’s a picture of the plaque showing who made the carousel. Wikipedia has an article on the company, saying that The company’s carousels were preferred among discriminating clients, for their elaborate carvings and elegant decorations.
Cool.

Then there’s the horse with the rifle (is that a Winchester? I bet it is). I thought it was pretty cool looking, if not exactly politically correct in today’s climate. There were pistols on a few horses as well, but this is the gun photo that turned out the best of the lot.
Tomorrow I’ll be wrapping up the carousel photos. Next week? I dunno. There’s a few pictures of critters from Como Park Zoo, plus there’s a bunch left from the downtown walk over a month ago now. I’m betting the week will be something of a grab bag. Or maybe I’ll find something to take pictures of this weekend. I suspect I’ll more likely just stay inside and avoid getting any cold winds in my tender ears, though.
- Hey Jim, better watch out: Man detained for singing “London Calling”. He was released after questioning, but apparently the words were too inflammatory for his cabbie, who turned him in on the way to the airport. Of course Scott beat me to it. Oh well. [tcf]
- Huh. The Porkbusters have gotten Trent Lott’s attention. Good. He ought to be upset that people are calling him on his bull. [instapundit]
- NBC had their plants at Martinsville last weekend. And NASCAR Smacks Down NBC. Good. I wonder if the faux-Muslims will actually be at Texas this weekend or not. [instapundit]
- Apparently Apple Introduces Boot Camp was big news. Their stock jumped 4-6% on the news. Me? I don’t really see what the big deal is, but if it helps Apple sell more hardware, that’s probably a good thing for me in the long run. And I guess it would mean I would need one less machine around home, since on the rare times I need to boot Windows, I’d already have my mac handy.
