Paige at bedtime

We bought a new video camera tonight. Here's the first video I shot with it.



Thumbs up to The Flip. It's about the size of my iPhone. Imagine the hilarity if we'd all had these on various Party Squad vacations.

Spokane declares war on squirrels

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - The Finch Arboretum is being overrun by ground squirrels, and Spokane Parks and Recreation is bringing in some special artillery.

The agency is using a special machine called the Rodenator Pro to detonate some of the estimated 100 to 150 squirrels tearing up the grounds.

The Rodenator Pro pumps propane and oxygen into the tunnels of squirrels, then sends an electric spark that causes an explosion. The shock waves kill the squirrels and collapse their tunnels - but in a humane way, the agency said.

I fully expect Craig to order a Rodenator Pro by the end of the week.

Guinness launches new beer

The makers of Guinness are touting a new stout beer in the U.S., a maltier, fizzier version of its older, creamier sibling, the world's best-selling stout.

"This is more about refreshment and zing," said Guinness master brewer Fergal Murray, who created the new carbonated brew.

Well, that's an interesting cutline

Squirrels in many neighborhoods ride the “fence highway” between trees and house rooftops. And with all the wet weather, traveling the fence highway might also be a way for squirrels to keep their nuts dry.

(WTH, is going on with my photos being cropped like that? Sorry about that, I'll try to figure it out.)
