Argh, busy! Travelling again in less than two weeks, too. o.O What was I thinking, anyway?

Speaking of insanity, last night we had the weirdest weather I think I can remember: It was 35-40 degrees, raining a little, thundering and lightning, and there was a thick layer of FOG. And a few inches of snow on the ground, mind.

Geez, Michigan. Try to at least be a little believable, okay?

This morning the snow is more gone than not; there’s still fog and rain, but no creepy random stormage. But last night felt like the beginning of a Stephen King novel. (Always hope that if you’re in a SK novel, it’s one of the bad ones — vampire donkeys, or possessed dishwashers, or whatever. Much easier to handle.)

Anyway, I’ve inadvertently collected several recent links I thought might interest [someone], so here they are all in a lump.

Particle demolition derby may show us the "outlines" of the shape of the Universe, freaky other dimensions included;

Stimulation of certain brain bits wards off cognitive effects of sleep deprivation(!);

U.S. Republican party does an internal audit of its campaign & finance behavior, freaks out, begs FBI to intervene(?!)

There, see? I do think about you, now and again. ;)
