  Half a million people went to see yesterday's stage of the Tour de France, in person. It's amazing to me how popular cycling is in Europe.

  @reiayanami we have someone killed locally by elk somewhat frequently, and it's almost always because they walk right up and take a flash picture and scare the hell out of the elk.

  I want to hear the New York Philharmonica. Can you imagine 150 of them being played by experts?

  @cmconseils he clearly knows you have kids, and he clearly likes you the way you are, so I think he probably has a much better opinion of you than you do.

  The Uruguay legislature building is an enormous stone assemblage and almost every building facing it or in sight of it is covered with political graffiti along the lines of "the state is the problem" and "why are there poor children and rich men"

  Ok y'all get a sort of precis of warping a rug loom tonight. You set up a warping board, like a peg board. However big your blanket is going to be, divide it down into manageable hanks, like 20-50 warp strings per hank. You stretch each one in a z pattern on the warping board so they're all piled up but no strings cross. Then you pull all that off and loose weave it into a chain so you can pull the strands out but the whole hank doesn't tangle.
