CNN.com – Experts slam low-carb trend as rip-off – Jun 23, 2004

Could have seen this one coming. The Atkins diet will soon join the ranks of the other diet fads. They will all be supplanted by surgery.

If you’ve ever been to Merriam, KS you’d understand that there isn’t a lot to do.

Yesterday, Kim and I met Brian over in Fremont for the 2004 Solstice Parade put on by the Fremont Arts council. As usual the naked cyclists were the hit of the show. Although there one guy just walking around naked with no body paint. The crowd yelled at him to “buy some paint”. My favorite part was when the solstice fairies handed out chalk to the kids along the way and told them to decorate the street.

uhhhhhh, I installed a new gallery plugin and I’m still trying to figure it out. The photos are all overlapping right now. If you click on them you can see the whole photo.

CNN.com – Clinton defends successor’s push for war – Jun 19, 2004

How very interesting. Clinton supports the Bush administrations decision to invade Iraq. I never would have expected that from him.

Julie Leung: Seedlings & Sprouts: Locker room talk

I’ve never really gotten into the hero worship. There are a lot of people out there that think “famous” == “different” or worse “better”.

I work just down the hallway from a man who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine. (mearly a geographical anomally rather than an indication of my importance really. My office is moving in August). I’ve worked with a man who was a MacArthur fellow. To me, he’ll always be the guy that moved his chair too close to his halogen lamp in his office and set it on fire.

So you look at J-Lo on Entertainment tonight and you think she’s perfect, but I bet her feet stink. You see Brad Pitt on the news and you see the pimple growing on his chin. Bill Gates probably has bad breath. Little things like that remind you that we all look the same on the inside (literally).

CNN.com – Ray Charles dies at 73 – Jun 10, 2004
Celebrity deaths come in threes, this is number two. Who’s next?

His death comes as a surprise to me since I just saw him on the country music channel the other night performing. It looked like a recent performance too.

Yahoo! Sports – NCAA Football – Arizona football recruit dies during workout

Where were the coaches? It’s over 100 degrees in AZ already. The coaches and trainers should be watching these kids more closely. They should force them to take breaks every 20-30 minutes in the summer, even during “voluntary” workouts.

Toured the National Mall today

My friend Tom drove his family up the coast, he lives in North Carolina, over Memorial Day weekend and visited most of the national monuments. I’m most interested in his photos of the World War Two national monument. In typical WWII veteran fashion the majority of the funds for the monument came from donations. $179 out of $195 million raised for the monument came from pledges and cash donations.

The site was dedicated by President G.W. Bush on Memorial day, withPresident Clinton, who signed the law that authorized the monument, also in attendance. The ceremony was attended by many WWII veterans including Bob Dole, George McGovern, and Tony Hillerman. One interesting fact that I learned about fmr. Senator McGovern is that he volunteered after his tour of duty, and for that matter the war itself, was over to deliver the leftover Allied rations and medical supplies to the German civilians. Getting a jump on the Marshall Plan.
