Point Break isn’t great by any means, but the scene where Keanu Reeves jumps out of the plane without a parachute, in hopes of latching onto Patrick Sawyze, mid-air, that scene is kind of cool.

Hahaha! Good observation, Connie.

PS – when I clicked ‘meme-orandum’ it was wall-to-wall rightwing ads and posts and commentors; Malkin and Hannity and Beck and Freepers and Deathers and Birthers and guns and “YOU LIE”….and I had to hit EJECT!!

But maybe it was just 99 cent wingnut night, over there

“The fruit fly life cycle is crazy-fast–egg to adult in seven days– and it’s hard to match their menacing tenacity. The very best way to control fruit flies is scrupulous sanitation:

* Keep fruit with even the tiniest bit of broken skin in the fridge.
* Wipe counters, wash dishes, rinse out sinks immediately.
* Wipe the edges of open wine bottles, and keep them in the fridge if you can (just one fruit fly in the bottle with give the rest of the wine a sick-sweet taste).
* Even with their skins on, bananas are great fruit fly attractor, so it’s best to avoid them (who needs bananas anyway, with all the gorgeous local produce to be had?).
* Take out your compost scraps twice a day, and keep them covered between-times. Ditto the gargabe can.
* Make a simple trap by dropping a few of their favorite foods (skinned plums, tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, wine…) in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap that has little holes poked in it–the fruit flies will get in, but look at how tiny those brains must be; they won’t get out.
* And just for fun, add a Venus flytrap or two!

Souder and Pence are two of the biggest primitives in all of Congress, outside of the South Carolina delegation. I was hoping the blue tide might finally knock them out of their gerrymandered seats, but no luck. Maybe next year.

Oh Danny, if you only knew. Daylight savings is relatively new here, and still controversial.
