Anyone else notice that the USA Today category listings are a bit off? Yesterday, the play-off roundup was listed under "War on Terror". And sports news? How about this:

Some of you asked what kind of dog my bird herder is. She's a Bouvier Des Flandres--a Belgian cattle dog. And if you think herding ravens is impressive, you should see what she can do with a gaggle of children.

My dog is outside trying to herd ravens. Her excecution is good, but it all falls apart when the birds stop running and start flying. Sheep never did that!  2:19:10 PM     Add a comment   

Anchorage Daily News | Jet narrowly escapes disaster: "Controllers instructed the China Airlines pilots to take off from a north-south runway but instead they used an east-west taxiway. Investigators and a China Airlines official say they still don't know why."

This is scary. I work at the opposite end of taxiway this plane took off on. There's a stand of trees there. If that plane was low enough to clip its wheels on a snow berm when it flew out over the water, it certainly would have hit the trees (and my work) if it turned east instead of west.  1:13:35 PM     Add a comment
