The Hindenburg catastrophe occurred on 6 May, 1937. The cause of the fire remains unknown, though there are multiple theories. Surprisingly, only 36 people perished in the disaster, one of them a ground crewman. The loss of the Hindenburg caused a decline in public interest in airship travel. What would have happened if the Hindenburg had not been lost? Maybe zeppelins would have remained popular. Also the band Led Zeppelin would have had to come up with a different photo for their debut album's cover. Personally, I'd like to fly on an airship some day. But I'm eccentric like that.

Post-Christmas Thoughts from the Very White Board - Dec 26

The before:

A little snow in the backyard.  Took this Christmas Eve in the afternoon.

The After:

Lot's more snow.  And that was taken this afternoon.  By tomorrow, who knows?

And Christmas morning stuff.  We had a great meal of potatoes and sausage and eggs, plus chocolate birthday cake (my wife's family tradition is having birthday cake on Christmas, for semi-obvious reasons) and best of all home-made cinnamon rolls.  Best ones she's made yet.  Way better than store-bought.


Good breakfast.

Chocolate cake.  Good stuff.

Cinnamon rolls with cream cheese frosting.

Procrastination is not the problem. It is the solution. It is the universe’s way of saying stop, slow down, you move too fast. Listen to the music. Whoa whoa, listen to the music. Because music makes the people come together, it makes the bourgeois and the rebel. So come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody try to love one another. Because what the world needs now is love, sweet love. And I know that love is a battlefield, but boogie on reggae woman because you’re gonna make it after all. So celebrate good times, come on. I’ve gotta stop I’ve gotta come to my senses I've been out riding fences for so long… oops i did it again… um… What I’m trying to say is, if you leave tonight and you don’t remember anything else that I’ve said, leave here and remember this: Procrastinate now, don’t put it off. - Ellen DeGeneres


Well, that's it for today.  Happy Boxing Day, or what's left of it.
