a passing observation
An inventory of advertisements aired during the 00:35 break of an episode of The First 48 (warning: annoying flash video):
- Promo spot for The First 48
- A reality show about interventions
- WalMart
- Manwich
- An IUD
- KFC
- CoverGirl makeup
- Hebrew National
- Extended auto warranties
I wonder what this says about their target demographic other than an apparent penchant for global megacorportations and annoying auto-play flash videos.
astonishing fact of the day
Sins the Catholic church considers worse than genocide:
- attempting to assassinate the Pope
- a priest revealing someone’s confession
- a priest having sex and then offering forgiveness
- participating in an abortion and then trying to become a priest
- and, last but certainly not least, desecrating a eucharist (this includes simply not eating it)

Went over to Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve, one of my favorite spots in the city, this afternoon. I shot this quick hand-held panorama of the wetland meadow and (dry) beaver pond area.
