Another Bush-buddy bites the dust as we approach the end of the Era of the Decider. Not that we’ll miss Gonzales – let’s face it, along with Rove and Snow the guy was a real snake. Slowly but surely the bush buddies have been jumping ship or been given the boot. One of the sad parts of the American system is that you can vote for a candidate (or most likely vote against a candidate and wind up with the leftovers) but you haven’t got any say in the candidate’s entourage.

There’s an eclipse tomorrow morning (28 AUG) that will be visible to those on the Pacific Rim. I’d like to see it, but the downside is that it starts at 0245Hrs. I am an early riser, but even that is a wee bit on the early side for Ol’ Phos. I am not getting any younger and I need my rest. It might be worth it though. I am just not sure how much I am going to get to see being a ways away from California. Australians will have a good view, but US East Coasters are SOL.

There are some fantastic artists out there. Most of you already know /t., he has two sites, both with some excellent pieces. There is also another artist recently come to my attention. You can see Ruela’s work here and here. This is all cutting edge stuff using new media to create and display original art. This is a strong counterpoint to the dark side of the internet. Check these folk’s work out if you haven’t had the chance it is very impressive.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Hated to see it come to a close, but that’s the way it goes. Wish I had some interesting yarns to spin but my weekend was mundane. The temps are going to shoot back up this week so that will stifle some of the outdoor activities.

The weather has turned hot again, I had hoped the storm pictured below would offer some relief, but it was just a tease. The storm broke up and dissipated shortly after I took the picture.
