Help!

We’re leaving for Columbia, MO and Brett’s mom can’t let our dogs out because she’s out of town too!

We’ll be back tomorrow, but hell… Somebody please let my dogs out tonight? Tomorrow morning? Ack!

mmm… fiber!

mmmfiber.jpgOur very own Adie has recently rolled out her very own store on eBay, where she sells her luscious, hand-made, extra fabulous (and warm!) scarflettes to just any ol’ body who is smart enough to purchase one.

She sent me a prototype for Xmas, and I wear the hell out of it. I don’t know that I’d ever have purchased one without wearing it first because they look so little, but it’s amazing how much of a difference such a wee bit of scarf around your neck can make to your overall comfort. Adie’s scarflettes are painfully stylish and they really do keep you warm.

Yay, 80! (Visit her blog, Squirrelville.)

Hobbit Man

floresskull.jpgThe recently discovered “Hobbit man” has us realizing that man’s ancestry wasn’t staid and orderly, but messier. More like a bush than a ladder. Perhaps Hobbits and Yetis exist in our consciousness because we remember meeting them? Check out this awesome coverage in the Flores man special at news@nature.com.
