Well, there's nothing like a spurious bit of satire to bring out what people around the world really think of us in Tennessee. The National Report "article" was a big spoof from the very beginning and a great joke on all you April fools. The toughest thing about being a Tennessean is that there are so many ignorant bigots everywhere else.

Excellent story, Graeme! I struggled along with Rick throughout trying to figure out how he was going to reveal his true sexuality to Drew and still maintain their friendship. That's a theme in many stories, but The Price of Friendship turned everything on it's head. Your final resolution of the dilemma was refreshing and satisfying as well as successful for Rick, Drew, and their friendship. Thanks.

Many readers may not realize that C J is a real world traveler and has been to all, or nearly all, the places he writes about.

Is anyone going to protest his funeral?

Gee! You are really serious. All I did was stand some eggs on end, take a picture, and post it here. Enjoy the season.

It's not impossible to balance an egg on other dates; it's just easier to do so on the vernal equinox. There's a problem with myth busting. Disproving one minor point doesn't disprove everything.

That is cheating...totally unnecessary on the vernal equinox.

It 's that time of year again...

I remember being in Dundee in late June and seeing people water skiing on the Firth of Forth at 11 pm. They were wearing wet suits, of course, since the firth is an arm of the North Sea.

DST is a problem for me only one day a year...the day we "spring forward". That's because I get up and go to church every Sunday morning. And I'm always sleepy because of the lost hour. Why not change to some other day of the week. I understand why not Monday...that would be a disaster for employers everywhere. But wouldn't Saturday work?

I had not heard that the elk had to be killed. That is unfortunate. It seems that wild animals which are stuck in places with a lot of people tend to become tame...tame meaning unafraid of the humans. When we lived in Yosemite National Park, the deer would walk right up to you and lick your hand. The bears were also unafraid of humans and would walk into the community where we lived to raid the garbage cans and climb trees. The humans did not hold out their hands to be licked. And then there was that mountain lion...

In October, a photographer had an unusual encounter with a young bull elk in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. The elk probably had more fun than the photographer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=xGQExgOxZMQ

Beiber was being deposed in the lawsuit where his bodyguard allegedly beat up a photographer. The full deposition lasted 4½ hours. TMZ released four separate videos of what they probably thought was the most interesting parts. The "full video" is the four clips combined in one. You can see the individual clips here. The six minutes may be unfair to Beiber or the other four hours, twenty-four minutes may be very routine and boring. Would we think any more of him if we watched the whole thing?

A legal deposition is a serious matter. It is fully equivalent to testifying in court. The deponent (the person testifying, Justin Beiber in this case) is giving sworn testimony. Or is he just being a jerk? You decide.

Thanks...I think.

It's that time again. I'm already yawning just thinking about tomorrow.

Does Cammie agree? You would be awfully cold without him.
