Stuff I'm wondering about today Arnie's last round So they're making a big deal out of Arnold Palmer's 50th time in the Masters golf tournament at the gender-segregated Augusta National Golf Club. He's retiring. So if golf is work for you, what do you do when you retire: play more golf? Or go sit in an office all day, just for fun? Weeds in Paradise Square With all the U.S. has put into its invasion of Iraq, would it have been too much to pay some kid $20 to mow the lawn? On Thursday, the BBC's Lyse Doucet reported live from Paradise Square in Baghdad, and the weeds that have grown up there since the Saddam statue was pulled down on TV a year ago -- those weeds were nearly as tall as she is. Why give the locals yet another reason to hate us? Any neighbor who moves in next door and lets the lawn go straight to heck is going to have problems. Doucet reported from near Paradise Square again Friday -- the square itself was closed off, with a U.S. military vehicle circling slowly, its loudspeaker threatening that anyone with a gun would be shot dead. That sound competed with calls from a nearby mosque for blood and humanitarian aid for people trapped by the fighting in Fallujah. Folks, a neighbor who drives around the block over and over blasting his stereo and making threats is also not going to make a lot of friends. Would it have been too much to broadcast a different message, even if it had to be alternated with the threats? Something like this, maybe: "Greetings, friends. U.S. Military here. We hope you like your country better today than you did a year ago. We don't, ourselves, but that's beside the point. In fact, many of us would like to go home because we only signed up for a weekend a month and two weeks in the summer in the first place. Anyway, enjoy the anniversary, and remember, anyone who appears to have a weapon will be shot dead. You may never travel to our country, but at least you'll get an idea what it's like to be a black man who happens to be packing a wallet on an American street at night. Or, closer to home, what it's like to be one of us well-meaning citizens who signed up to serve our country and ended up patrolling yours. Have a nice day." Your tax dollars at work Not only is our government paying people to consume pornography, ~~it's~~ we're paying for the counseling they get for the effect that kind of work has on them.

Here is Raed Last year at this time, one of our main sources of information was Salam Pax's blog "Where is Raed?" This year, Raed has his own blog. So does the rest of his family (except his Dad) . His Mom writes in Arabic (translated by Raed) and even offers online Arabic lessons. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @4:20 PM	9.4.04

Czech engineer killed in Iraq; two others critically injured Our condolences to the Czech Republic on the loss of one of its citizens in Iraq.

The New York Times sees Big Orange -- or maybe just a little orange Today The New York Times disagrees with itself over an important issue for our times: last night's basketball altercation between the University of Tennessee Lady Vols and Louisiana State. The reporter who seems to have been on the scene, Lynn Zinser, tells us that: "Nothing about this game was business as usual for the Lady Vols. Not only did Tennessee's legions of fans not dominate the arena — that was done by the L.S.U. fans who drove the hour from Baton Rouge..." But Harvey Araton's "Sports of the Times" column doesn't mention that the crowd at last night's game wasn't as orange as usual. Au contrere: "Pat Summitt still made it to the final day of the women's college basketball season last night, her unimposing but resourceful team in tow, the crush of Halloween orange that is the Tennessee fan base close behind." Based on my own independent observations of the game on television, it appeared that there was a sizable, but smaller-than-usual, orange-clad contingent, not quite a "crush." And the LSU fans seemed louder than the Tennessee fans -- more important, though, the fans and the rest of the arena noises sounded way too loud in the mix compared to the people calling the game. The Lady Vols (in white with orange lettering) trailed for almost the entire game, then proved that the final score is all that matters. In this case, it was 52-50. posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @6:17 PM	5.4.04
April flowers... ...like these are the latest images on the Earth Rover blog. Rove on over and take a look. Hurry -- it's supposed to snow again tonight, with "little if any accumulation." posted by Janet Dagley Dagley @7:07 PM	4.4.04
