Why did the Mexican guy take anxiety meds?  For Hispanic attacks.

Port of Baltimore has limited reopening

Lots and lots of restrictions, but ships 60,000 tons or less and 30' draft will be able to pass through a new restricted channel into and out of the harbor.

I just burned 2000 calories!

Next time I won't take a nap while the brownies are in the oven.

Efron Zimbalist, Sr. - Carmen Fantasie

Many of our readers are of an age to remember the actor Efron Zimbalist, Jr, who starred in "The F.B.I." among other TV shows (I particularly like 77 Sunset Strip), or his daughter Stephanie (star of "Remington Steele).  Few have ever heard of his father Efron Zimbalist, Sr. - who like Louis XIII was famous only for Louis XIV.  But he was a famous violinist in the early years of the 20th century and a prolific composer.

This recording is far from HiFi, but gives a flavor of his work.  I found it quite enjoyable.

The scaffolding is coming down on Notre Dame de Paris

This is pretty cool.  I think this is the first time I've linmked to something from the "Today" show, but it is cool.

Remember the FISA renewal vote?

You know, the one today?  Guess what?

It's actually got new stuff in it - and you are now required to spy for Uncle Sam.

Yes, you. But fear not, Citizen: NSA no doubt will be responsible in how they use this.
