These are actually from two years. I was glad to see that the float featuring a large toilet was back again this year.

turned into a full blown stoplight. The intersection is near two
elementary schools (one public, one Catholic and right across the
street from each other) which is why I think it was beefed up. This
morning something was wrong with the lights and they were flashing red
both directions.

My wife and I were trying to cross from the right side of this picture
to the left. We were stepping into the road, but pulled back because
the approaching car that had started to slow down decided not to and
passed us going about 30 mph. I turned my palms up and raised my
shoulders in sort of a disgusted "what gives?" fashion as the guy
passed.

Well, besides not noticing, or perhaps not caring, about us crossing
the driver also failed to notice the policeman directly behind him.
The policeman let us cross and then sped down the street and pulled
the guy over. That's quick justice.

There was a nice introductory video on Oldfields and other "Country Homes". I think they are doing another one on Thursday the 17th. Grab your date, get some dinner in Broad Ripple and then go for a stroll through the grounds of the IMA at night.

Went veg for 15 years. Now I eat fish sometimes. Would I eat this http://bit.ly/8mfZL9 ? http://garretthart.com/raised-on-bacon-and-burgers-went-veg-for-15-y http://garretthart.com/raised-on-bacon-and-burgers-went-veg-for-15-y

I think factories with rows and rows and sheets and sheets of electrode stimulated, twitching, non-sentient meat would be far less repulsive than what I believe I would likely see at a current factory farm.

Here is what Pomodoro is http://www.pomodorotechnique.com/. From the site:

1.  Choose a task to be accomplished
2. Set the Pomodoro to 25 minutes (the Pomodoro is the timer)
3. Work on the task until the Pomodoro rings, then put a check on your sheet of paper
4. Take a short break (5 minutes is OK)
5. Every 4 Pomodoros take a longer break

I have visions of enterprise project managers pacing up and down the cube aisles making sure all the minions are typing. A loud high school gymnasium timeout buzzer goes off. All the PMs yell, "SHORT BREAK!". Minions run to the restroom. Minions scatter to vending. Minions suck down the scalding swill commonly referred to as "coffee". Minions rush back to their desks, grab their big red sharpie and check off their PM assigned task. The buzzer goes off again and the PMs in unison yell, "WORK!". The PM on the tympani drum starts beating out his one second cadence and the rowers (oops) coders start typing again...
