The tornado clip IS actually beautiful. It's like a painting.

I like the roof gardens too.

On the plane crash chart it says the odds of dying from blogging are 35,000,000:1.

Hm. Only slightly less likely than being mauled by a mountain lion. I’ll be extra careful, just in case.

“Man’s Conquest” looks like a gripping read.

Though if you called a contemporary magazine “Man to Man,” “All Man” or “Dude,” you’d be reaching a very different audience.

re: whiskey stones (or whisky stones, if you're drinking scotch):

My wife just said that would truly be whisky on the rocks.

I chew on my ice. Whiskey Stones would be a bad idea...

The Soapstone used to make Whiskey Stones is a form of Asbestos.
