Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Once common, now disappearing – I guess I’m an old fogie; I had no idea that porn magazines were “disappearing.” Or body hair for that matter.
- Harry Beck’s US Interstate map – Leaves off a lot of the local Interstate feeders and ring roads, but still very cool. Hell, a nice resource for a writer.
- English Russia » Another Trip to Kadikchan – Kadikchan was a Soviet tin-mining city in Siberia — since abandoned due to changing economic demand.
- 10 Misspelled Tattoos – Oddee.com – And you thought it was important to proofread and spell check your email? Try output that’s a bit more persistent.

- Canada May Grant Asylum To Lesbian U.S. Army Deserter: Joe
- Dana Milbank – Sweeteners for the South – Yeah, some pretty nasty-looking sausage here. I hope what we end up with is worth all the concessions and policy bribes.
- Where Things Stand – The Washington Monthly – Money quote: “But that there was any drama at all surrounding last night’s vote underscores the silliness of the process — there was a lengthy, overwrought debate yesterday about whether to have an even longer, more overwrought debate in December.”
- Historic health care legislation moves forward for debate in the Senate. – It’s about damned time. And the GOP, having won concession after concession, is still vilifying even the concept of making sure all Americans have medical care coverage.

- Pam’s House Blend:: Signer of Manhattan Declaration wanted to jail gays and lesbians – Akinola signed it? wow — that’s good enough for me to reject it even if I hadn’t read it. His way of dealing with gays would through the auto da fe, if the government would let him.

Your happy plane is an Avro Shackleton, a maritime patrol aircraft based on the WWII Lincoln bomber and used by the RAF for many years.
Ah, cool. I saw the RAF insignia on the side, so I figured that’s where it was from. With the heavy guns in the nose, I should have figured it was a maritime patrol. Thanks.
