Hat tip to Thompson Blog. (Note: he’s recently renovated his digs… very nice.)
Tippers are more attractive to the opposite sex and their chainsaws always start on the first pull. The links are below. Thanks.

In the event my blog goes down (regardless of reason), I'll communicate information (and possibly an alternate URL) to the following locations:
Ozymandias
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
“Coimhéad fearg fhear na foighde”
Beware of the anger of a patient man.
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
In a room where people unanimously maintain a conspiracy of silence, one word of truth sounds like a pistol shot.
Awesome, thanks.
In LA? He’s lucky someone hasn’t knocked him over the head and stolen his rig yet.
Cool video though.
I think I still have the telescope I bought when my kids were young up in the attic somewhere. Not that nice, but it did the job. We used it for years, but the big thing I remember is setting it up on the beach to look at the Hale-Bopp comet back before the turn of the century (does that make me sound old?).
People, interacting pleasantly, with, astonishment, joy, happiness…What’s the matter with them?!
Tree Mike…oh, wait, that was nice.
City people. What can ya say.
I thought it was charming that everyone liked the view.
I think it is great that they love the view.
I think it is sad that they have never seen it ’til now
I must be missing something. I’m pretty sure almost everyone has seen the moon even if they live in a light polluted city. But almost nobody has seen the moon in real time through a huge bad ass telescope. I live in a place with nearly the least light pollution you can get and I check the night sky most evenings (I’m always hoping for northern lights). Yet if some dude showed up with a mondo telescope and set it up for me I’d take a gander and say “that’s neat, thanks”.
