I, for one, would like to know where Max & Ruby's parents are, hm? Parents, any thoughts on this apparent abandonment? # The IKEA electric butt: http://twitpic.com/1w5iyt # Chapel Hill Tire is apparently staffed by a fleet of Scottys. A 2.5 hour estimate?

The mob of parents taking photos & video at a kid's party looks like an electronics showcase. # Another birthday party for one of C's friends at an indoor play place. Can this possibly be as exhausting for the kids as for the parents? # Simple Green makes hand soap now? Who knew? We used that stuff to clean everything in college. http://twitpic.com/1s5hy0 # .@lapple13 The goats eat pretty much.. Read More

No Tarheels allowed? Not sure what this sign is supposed to mean. http://yfrog.com/jdjlpj # Dear Mr Defoe: 95% of Robinson Crusoe leads up to or takes place on his island.

Technology that has already turned out to be essential to this vacation: iPhone, Evernote, Google Docs, duct tape. # While I was packing the car this morn for our vacation, C climbs into her seat, buckles up, & declares “I can't wait!” Me neither kid. # Ok all you Unix heads: vacation -I.

O citrus juicer, where have you been all my life? You are the best unitasker I never knew I needed. # @silent_d Because FRPAA was intro'd to Senate only 6 months ago.

Let's hear it for the OC Shred-a-thon: an annual opportunity to purge papers we haven't needed in a lot longer than that. # Easy security tip from CH Police: replace deadbolt plate screws in door jamb w/ longer ones, 2-3″.

Note to parents: C's birthday party will be at our house today, due to the threat of thunderstorms. # What cracks me up is this: How did I find out my segment aired on Brian Williams?

More fun than is reasonable. # My definition of pleasure reading seems to have shifted from “fiction” to “anything that is not library & info science.” # A compelling argument for smartcars?
