The financial market craziness makes me wish we were back to relatively harmless presidential politics. Someone sent me this story about a honey-stealing bear just before McCain told his overused bear boondoggle story on Friday.

Here’s some consolation political humor and some cute.

Stimulus package: I ate it

My adviser doesn’t like lolcats. He must be a dog person.

We did actually spend it this weekend on:

* track mounted lights over futon–works great with the projector overhead
*replacement hiking shoes: today’s event convinced me of the need
* various odds and ends at REI (SO CROWDED)
* possibly membership in the local mountaineering club; if anyone knows if Lassen counts as a glaciated peak, lemme know ;)

I’m a terrible hiker. I need more beer.

I also made some lolcats.
