As promised...
Good Things. The first two are new, but the rest, I've been saving up for a long time.
* An Iraqi woman I interviewed yesterday told me that there is a TV program called "Small House" and I look just like the middle daughter on that show. Heh.
* While I was idling at a traffic light on my drive home, a hawk flew right in front of my windshield - he must have missed me by six inches - with a dead pigeon in his talons. It was *cool*. He landed in an oak tree on the other side of the road, where I suppose he (she?) started tearing into the pigeon.
* Random, and really nice, acts of kindness via kopernik
* Dog risks life to save kittens from fire: story / video. Yes, dog saves kittens. I thought nothing would top that in sweetness until taffimai posted the story about puppies saving a lost child by cuddling him all night.
* Deep sea creatures! (click thumbnails for larger versions) - I love the world because it has things like this in it.
Dumbo octopus (and a plush version!)
Piglet squid
* And what the heck, have some actual piggies in a road:
* Endangered Feces tee shirt! It's a guide to identifying several types of wild animal scat, which I would actually find useful - I can identify raccoon and coyote and owl, deer, rabbit, the common ones, but I love educational posters of any kind. Of course, to anyone else... it might just be a tee shirt with poop on it. Which would be pretty funny too.
* Punctuation WIN

* ETA - you have to love the meteorological variety of a place that has tornado watches in December, right? ::looks at sky::
