From the Farmer’s Almanac

“St. Luke’s Little Summer is a period of summerlike days that occurs around October 18, named to honor the saint’s feast day. In olden days, St. Luke’s Day did not receive as much attention in the secular world as St. John’s Day (June 24) and Michaelmas (September 29), so to keep from being forgotten, St. Luke presented us with some golden days to cherish before the coming of winter — or so the story goes. Some folks call this Indian summer, but that officially occurs between November 11 and November 20.”

David Icke has been dropped as an award presenter for the UK Urban Music Awards scheduled on November 3rd in London:

“TV commissioning editors were worried about the reaction from the sponsors of the event due to the controversial opinions the former TV sports commentator and footballer has.”

The show is sponsored by Kickers shoes, a company that does NOT offer anything in snakeskin. Coincidence? I think not!

Bonus: Channel 5 (UK) documentary on David Icke is available in its entirety from Google Video, both for online viewing and download.

The first 42 dishes in the Allen Telescope Array came online last week, and are now collecting data for SETI. The array is located in Hat Creek, CA, and will eventually have 350 dishes scanning for signs of extraterrestrial life. The array is also performing some traditional radio astronomy for UC Berkeley. There’s an official press release from SETI, and news coverage from the Redding Record Searchlight and the Daily Telegraph.

Seth Shostack (SETI’s senior astronomer) described the ultimate vision for the ATA:

“The Allen Telescope Array will be like 200 million Jodie Fosters sitting out there listening”

Paul Allen put up the initial $25 million to get the site up and running, and it’ll take another $41 million to get the rest of the planned dishes built. Any Jodie Foster fans got a few million burning a hole in their pocket?

Union Leader - Gore’s prize: A fraud on the people - Sunday, Oct. 14, 2007

Alfred Nobel felt horrible about the uses to which his invention — dynamite — was put. So he endowed the Nobel Peace Prize and instructed that it go “to the person who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between the nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for the holding and promotion of peace congresses.”

Al Gore has done exactly none of those things.

Baseball on TV, Halloween on all the shelves. If it weren’t for the above average highs during the day it would be fantastic. Soon.

The altar can’t wait any longer, so load her up with the juju.

My cupcakes wouldn’t have taken such a nasty spill had I been in good with the spooky ones.

This is one of the tastiest liquors I’ve ever had. Good cherry flavor, not sour. A deep flavor that warms all the way down. Very good for sipping and would probably lend itself well to desserts.

Over a rich chocolate cake. Yes. Oh yes.

Look out for snakes though.

Walgreens.com - Local Weekly Ad

A teenager in line at Walgreens, with her Grandmother, points her bony, hairless arm at a particularly ghoulish ghoul hanging from the ceiling.

With much malice she biles out,
“That looks just like MOM.”

The grandmother hangs her head down and says sadly “oh, Hayley.”

New Horizons Web Site

“With a slight tweak of its trajectory this week, New Horizons is headed toward the heart of the distant Pluto system.”

Pluto is expected to be visited in July, 2015.

So the other day I’m in my local Circle K buying beverages and smokes. Circle K in Phoenix in the summer typically has an assortment of beer in small coolers near the checkout, and this one is no exception. Typically 24oz cans of Bud, Bud Light, maybe some Steel Reserve High Gravity Lager or Mickey’s Bigmouth. But on this fateful day, there was a new cerveza en la ciudad: Chelada!

Bud Light and Clamato! How could I resist that magical combination of thin beer, tomato juice, and clam broth? More pictures after the jump…

Signs and Wonders of the Autumnal Equinox. The right place at the right time and Jeemy snapped the Lord out on his porch.

Jeemy says: “That’s the front doors of All Saints. What I liked was the sun
cutting Jesus in half on the equinox. Well, I thought of the equinox
stuff after I got home, but it was the light/dark half dead Jesu who
caught my eye. Pretty!”
