What am I preparing for?

Forecasts are great planning tools. We should make use of them and not just for planning our trips.
I’m taking sunblock 10 billion just in case this is the Virginia Cleveland forecast too.
What am I saying on Tattoo Tuesday
December 18, 2012Last week it was Science Tattoos – a whole new perspective on the STEM fields. This week it is, not surprisingly, Knitting. Who knew people would go to such lengths to portray their addiction hobby? And have a ball; and pursue a thread; one cannot gauge these things; or look for purls of wisdom here; or one becomes a wrapped up in a skein of stories; and then needs to send a cable – to Kitchener. Okay, I’m done needling you.
If you look really closely, you will see alpaca is not spelled incorrectly.

What am I scratching my head about?

Warning: This is a frivolous post.
I just came across an ad by Yankee Candle for “man candles.” Really?
I like Yankee Candles, but I cannot imagine that these scents are really, “back by popular demand,” except perhaps as gag gifts.
What about some really, manly-man scents?

As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows,
cats have enormous patience with the limitations of the human kind.

What am I reading?
November 15, 2012During a wander on the web I came across these terrific tattoos, and the book in which they are described, and the author. The book is Science Ink and the author is Carl Zimmer. Zimmer is a renowned and prolific author of books, articles and The Loom, a blog hosted by Discover Magazine.
Tattoos are fascinating to me – running the gamut from “why would anyone do that?” to “oh, look, that is really cool.” As a science geek, I find the tattoos in the book to be wonderful expressions of creativity by their “science obsessed” owners. I liked the story about the woman who works with squids and, ostensibly to help her remember squid anatomy, had one tattooed on her foot and ankle. I am not sure about using it as an aide-memoire, but it is a very cool tattoo of a squid on her foot and ankle.
It also makes me wonder what kinds of tattoos other occupations would inspire. What would an accountant’s tattoo look like?
To see more, go buy the book. I did.
