just checking the voice to text on this phone compared to my old phone. Looks pretty good actually.

Dogs poop in line with Earth's magnetic field

A paper in Frontiers in Zoology claims that dogs can sense the Earth's magnetic field, and preferentially align to it when pooping. (via Sean Bonner) — Cory • 18 (boing boing)

Donknow 'bout this...Wonder Dog Kate seems to poop in line with the path I'm most apt to take to the backyard gate.

Jay,

That is so fucking awesome!

Years ago The Mote used to have a Wikipedia page all about our birth at Slate and the Great Schism etc. but it disappeared. I have no idea what happened to it. Maybe we just weren't wiki-worthy.

Who originated/created it? Maybe that person took ownership and withdrew it?

5086. judithathome - 1/3/2014 10:36:15 PM

MsNo...when are you coming back to Fort Worth? We'd love to have you as a houseguest...

I still tell people about how you "discovered" Tuaca for us...and the description of it your friend contributed to the lexicon!

5087. judithathome - 1/3/2014 11:00:38 PM

I know I have mentioned our friend Lunatic David before...well, he has started the New Year with a bang.

We have known LD for 30 years and when I first met him, he was a mess...he dressed like a clown. Seriously.

And he will tell you that he credits ME for making him into the "dandy" that he is today through the magic of re-sale shops.

So today he dropped by with the find of the year...already, on the third day of the year. He will be hard pressed to outdo this treasure...he found a suit for $14.95 at Goodwill...pockets in the jacket still stitched shut...pants unhemmed. The label? GEORGIO ARMANI.

Most beautiful suit I've seen in ages...

Happy 2014 all, may it be an excellent year for you.

This is titled "Selfie with younger self"

Oh and stay warm, midwesteners!

Well, the day with the in-laws went better than expected - no confrontations, just the cold shoulder. We brought gifts and food, and in return, we were given coasters while *everyone* else was given $100 each.

At the end of the day, it's funny. :)

Judith,

I bought a vintage Burberry trench at an estate sale, once. I paid $3 for it.

5092. judithathome - 1/7/2014 7:29:23 AM

I love deals like that!

My best was a London Fog raincoat w/lining for $14.

What's with all these deals on raincoats? ;-)

5093. judithathome - 1/7/2014 10:47:00 AM

Hmmmm...I posted a response about a London Fog lined raincoat I got for $14...it showed up after I hit post but didn't when I came back in just now hours later.

Strange.

5094. judithathome - 1/7/2014 10:49:32 AM

Okay...I feel like I'm in a showing of "Gaslight"...obviously, the other post is here....I swear it wasn't when I wrote 5093.

Haven't had anything to drink since New Year's eve, either!

In a week I will be back in London and Italy. Despite Italy having four prime ministers in four years, the Euro is strengthening there - which is good and bad. Good for the local economy, bad for people like me hoping to travel frequently and purchase a property.

Oooooooo! What you gonna buy?

5098. Jenerator - 2/28/2014 12:16:50 AM

I am just looking right now unless I find a killer deal. :)
