You never know where they'll be hiding....
I guess this explains how they're getting so dirty all the time. And I just gave them a bath a couple days ago after they came into the house caked in mud.
Looks like this hackberry butterfly has gotten lucky more than once. I guess those eye spots really do help distract predators.

Assorted Tweets from the past few days.
- The secret ingredient in my hamburgers is love. And MSG.
- I have until Aug 8 to submit a pic for the local county fair photography contest. Need to do some prep work first, printing, mounting, etc.
- I'm definitely submitting this one. Also need good recent plant/landscape/still life/architect pics to submit. http://twitgoo.com/19v0x3
- I had a dream about the coroner from CSI. We were in a jazz band playing at Disneyland. Weird.
- Fred Phelps vs. nerds. Nerds #win big time. I LOLed. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/07/22/s

I refuse to listen to Metallica ever since they sued Napster. (On the other hand, I went out and bought the latest Mötley Crüe album when they did an animated video in support of Napster.) I used to use Napster to find new music, and if I like it, I'd go out and buy the CD. Since Napster got shut down, I've bought a lot less music.
Assorted Twitter posts from the past few days.
- Cropduster outside this morning. I went out to take pictures; it was so humid my glasses and camera fogged up and I couldn't see anything.
- It's a #PITA doing a PRL update with a USB modem connected to a router, but it seemed to have fixed my flaky connection issues.
- Why is the heat index still 96°F at 11:30 at night?
- Severe thunderstorm passing just to the south of us. It looks (and sounds) like a war zone out there.
- GOP: $30 billion in aid for the unemployed, bad. $650 billion in tax cuts for the rich, good.
- Cost of a K-12 education in the US in 1970: $39,000, adjusted for inflation. Cost in 2010: $150,000.
- Ballot measure banning divorce in Calif passes first hurdle. Backer says it's to preserve traditional marriage. #news
- Ooops, tried to stretch the ground beef just a wee bit too far. Burgers are very crumbly, barely got them off the grill. Still tasty, though

Bike chain fail.
If you're going to chain your bike to something useless like this ashtray, at least run the chain through the wheels so someone can't just ride off with it.
Sounds like it should be a Furry show. It's not.
A few weeks ago my roommate's dog somehow tore a nail and had to go to the vet for surgery. Now she's missing the nail and it shows no signs of growing back.
We got lucky the other day after that really bad thunderstorm and had only minor damage to the fence. Others weren't so lucky.
Woodchuck! (aka Groundhog or Marmot) He was just staring off into space when I snapped the photo. I tried to get his attention so he'd look at me, but that scared him off. They're almost as cute as bunnies when they run away.
I saw this license plate in town and had to snap a photo.

Assorted Tweets from the past day or two:
- Dingo Dog Chews. Are they made from babies?
- Doesn't matter how old you get, you still have dreams about being in school.
- Steve Wozniak on the iPhone 4 antenna problems: "Carry a second Verizon phone for backup."
- Free bumpers for all iPhone 4 customers. If you already bought one, you'll get a full refund.

Looks like LoudTwitter may be going belly up shortly. Is there another service that can post Twitter messages to LJ, preferably via e-mail (which doesn't require a password)?
I just set up LoudTwitter a few days ago and now I'm going to have to change services. :P
