Do You Live in a Blast Zone?

Wow. Just wow.

I stumbled across this today and while I normally don't reblog stuff word-for-word, this bears repeating.

Did you know there are more than 25 million people at risk due to unsafe tanker cars carrying highly-flammable oil on railways near homes and schools? It's time to get these dangerous cars off the tracks and protect our communities!

Find out if you are in the oil train Blast Zone here and sign the petition demanding that Congress stand up to Big Oil (yeah, I know…fat chance that will ever happen) and get unsafe oil cars off the rails.

And Here I Thought It was only Jobs Who'd Taken LSD…

"There's nothing to keep Apple out of the Android market as a secondary phone market. We could compete very well. People like the precious looks of stylings and manufacturing that we do in our product compared to the other Android offerings. We could play in two arenas at the same time." ~ Steve Wozniak, obviously tripping on something

Why Is It…

That when you're employed, recruiters only want you when you aren't, and when you're not working, they only want you if you are?

Back in 1996 I found this photo, "Women [of the] KKK Drum Corps" buried deep in a closet under the stairs in one of the many places I lived in San Francisco. My housemate—who was friends with the building owner—couldn't imagine that it belonged to her, so its source has remained a mystery. I was thinking of donating the original print to Shorpy, but now I can't seem to lay my hands on it. I'm sure it's in a box around here somewhere, but after all this time the exact location is anyone's guess.

They all look so proud, don't they?
