* Ate a very delicious yiros (lamb and haloumi) that made me think that is the best thing you can have at Greek cafe. (But don't get me wrong; Greek food remains a basically uninteresting cuisine.)
* Found out that Kmart can print photos on mugs immediately, if they are not busy (normally a next day service), and they cost $6. That seems ridiculously cheap.
* I didn't realise that Kentucky had a Democrat governor until watching the news of the amazingly damaging tornadoes. Of course, wingnuts are working themselves into a lather over any suggestion climate change has anything to do with it - and I remember some years ago Roy Spencer getting indignant that increased atmospheric temperature should mean less (from memory) shear winds (or something?), so he was upset that anyone was suggesting that big summer tornadoes were due to it. Others who make a career out of claiming climate scientists are exaggerating risk (Pielke Jnr) like to point out that the IPCC has said clearly that no trend is yet detectable. But obviously, that doesn't rule out a connection to an unusual event like the weekend's - just we don't know for sure yet.
