Encourage Your Husband – Brian Croft: “I am grateful that my previous post for husbands has brought with it the same request from the wives. Since I feel much more qualified to write the questions that wives can ask their husbands to encourage us…here are 10 questions for you:”
Bureaucratic Stupidity – Whether this happens in your country or mine, I think we can all identify with this kind of bureaucratic stupidity. “There are some things so far exiled from all the known limits of common sense and rational practice, so inhospitable to logic and fairness, that only — only — governments can be responsible for them.”
Taboo Then and Now – LIFE has an interesting little gallery of what was taboo then and how we now regard it as completely normal and unremarkable.
The Church of Sports – Slate: “Sports make up a religious strand of American life, and their church is the Entertainment Sports Programming Network.

The Milky Way – This is an amazing time-lapse video.
By perseverance the snail reached the ark. –C.H. Spurgeon
