Snakes which are neither on a plane, nor in a movie theater

Snakes which are neither on a plane, nor in a movie theater

AMC apparently has a policy that you are not allowed to take rubber snakes into movie theaters showing Snakes on a Plane. These were the contraband snakes confiscated prior to this evening's showing.

Plans, and the best-laidness thereof.

Three years ago, as I was preparing for my last trip to my native Scotland, I glanced at the weather forecast for the trip, and saw rain for every day we were there.

Tomorrow, Joy & I leave for another trip to Scotland. It’s August, the brief period when it stops raining, and is sunny, right?

Right?

Rain, rain and more rain

Two days where it’s merely “partly cloudy”? Ah, that’s the Scottish summer I know and love.

Corn-Gratulations!

Corn-Gratulations!

What a corny pun.

The red carpet bridge was right below us, but we took another thirty minutes to find our way there.

This afternoon, our team at work took a group outing (under the auspices of "team building exercise") to the Davis Mega-Maze, a massive maze through 10-foot-tall corn. It took us an hour to find our way out!
