Over the summer, we’ve had the occasional wasp in our apartment. Last week, I made a homemade trap to try and trap them. Today, while making wing sauce, I walked in and discovered at leat a dozen! I proceded to kill them all.
War on Yellowjackets/wasps! Anyone have any ideas for a repellent/trap that we can make with homemade “stuff?”

Turns out you may want to reconsider. It turns out that the “official” kilogram is either gaining or loosing weight (they aren’t sure). Makes you wish the good ‘ole pound wasn’t redefined , doesn’t it?? The solutions? redefine it–the kilogram–as a certain number of atoms of some material? Wow….
I knew there was a reason I didn’t like the metric system….. If you need/want an easy metric -> imperial or imperial -> metric cheat cheet, look here.

I was surfing today when I came across this article. It is about the Grand Canyon Skywalk. From what the article and Wikipedia say about pricing, it looks like a classic tourist trap. People trying to milk money just because they can. ARG!

This is such a crock. The Democrats can’t have it both ways. The law was changed to its current state in 2004 when Mit Romney was governor. Then, the Dems didn’t want him to appoint a Republician once lurch then Sen. Kerry won the presidency. So, they passed this law. Now, when it no longer suits their purposes (needing seats in the Senate NOW), they want to change it. What a crock!
Just to clarify….my issue isn’t with the governor appointing the successor or the people voting. I don’t care how that happens. My issue is with the democrats changing the law as it suits their purpose. Before 2004, the governor appointed the successor. The law was changed in 2004 so the people would vote. Now, they want to change it back.

While I don’t agree with any of his politics, it must still be rough for his family. Ted Kennedy has died.
