Out of the Blue

Our young charges are safe and sound at home, seemingly none the worse for their experience with our amateur childrearing. We had a terrific experience spending a couple of days with the tykes, and since they seemed to enjoy themselves as well, we are already looking forward to the next time they come over, in spite of not yet being quite over the exhaustion of chasing them around this time.

This does give us a day to ourselves on this Memorial Day weekend... being the actual Memorial Day itself here in the States, we will also try and give thought to the true intent of the occasion, as honoring fallen soldiers and contemplating their causes takes on an added weight during a time of conflict.

Links of the Day:	Ramen Recipe Database. Thanks David Webber.
Stories of the Day:	Drivers Want Code to Their Cars. Beware of 'the Dwarf' and 'the Big Tamale'.

Thanks Mike Martinez

They said they were at 3500 feet which is over 2 miles. Airports are busy places and 2 miles is well within what you'd expect for closest point of contact. All the other photos on the site are real and quite a lot are surprising.
