The Travels and Rants Journal

1. Congrats to Dave’s Mosquito Farm for two hard-fought, come-from-behind victories last night, against the (formerly) first place team in the league. 14-12 in the completion of a rain-delayed game, and 16-10 in the other game. I was 4 for 5, and played a pretty good second base.

2. And now, a horny primate: From Boing Boing: Orangutan aroused by blonde and tattooed women

Sibu fancies his female keepers, especially blondes. That, the spokeswoman said, was common for orang-utans but Sibu has a fetish for tattoos, harking back to a heavily tattooed keeper who reared him.

3. It’s hard to believe this man is my congressman. From The Shad Plank, More on Virgil Goode’s America. Shame on us.
