Joey Devilla blogs a beautiful post about a “Craigslist Wedding” in Toronto. If you’re the type of person who cries at weddings you might consider having a tissue handy.

Thanks to people who commented here during the past week. Commenters included:
David Weinberger, who commented on Gem
Aunt Hentic, from the palindromically named Ekalaka Lake country who shared a recipe for Emperor Trout.
annie commented on the skull (no roses)
papa, bmo, annie, and Winston commented on mighty morphin’ art girls…
Thanks to Doug and Scruggs who were kind enough to let me know that the code in a YouTube embedding was all horked up. Interesting WordPress bug there… the editor changes “embed” to “ibed” in every instance. Maybe it is reading the “em” from “embed” as a request to italicize, and so converts those “em”s to “i”s messing everything up. If you just publish without previewing, you’re fine; but, if you preview, then the editor will run that little conversion and if you were then to publish, well BORK (rhymes with HORK, means everything is horked up and nothing is embedded).
Bruce and zooomabooma expressed deadheadly appreciation around my Ripple post. The zooomster didn’t get where I was coming from, devaluing as I was the collaboration of Barlow and Weir when compared to that of Hunter and Garcia. But partly that may be a matter of taste, I guess. Several of Barlow’s songs are quite nice, particularly after a few bottles of Stormhoek.
Jmo, Madame L., and Shirl each expressed a womanly appreciation for my “man on a tractor” pix (although the euro crew seemed to sublimate their appreciation through a discussion of headgear). Tom brought the discussion around to heavy equipment, and thereby added a a manly balance. And Aunt Hentic reappeared with some engine block cookery suggestions. The idea of cooking on an engine block sort of reminds me of Scruggs’ squirrel repellent recipe.
Again, my thanks to everyone who took a moment out of their busy days to leave a comment or two here last week. And a primitive animistic curse involving squirrels with yellow teeth and infected gums on those of you who didn’t.
