Christopher Ingraham – Washington Post: “I ordered a box of crickets…”

Christopher Ingraham – Washington Post: “I ordered a box of crickets…”

This story is too fun: “I ordered a box of crickets from the Internet and it went about as well as you’d expect,” by Christopher Ingraham December 29, 2018 in the Washington Post. Find it here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6

“For Christmas this year, my family adopted a young bearded dragon lizard as a pet.

“Our dragon, whom we named Holly, eats a lot, and the thing she loves to eat most is crickets (typically about 10 a day, in addition to other things like mealworms and vegetables). From the get-go, I knew that keeping an ample supply of crickets on hand would require some planning. We live in a rural area of northwestern Minnesota. The closest pet shop is an hour away, in North Dakota. Restocking our cricket supply would require a time commitment of at least two hours out and back.

“By Christmas Day this year, Holly’s cricket supply was running low. I decided to order crickets online, which I had never done before, to save a trip to North Dakota. I bought the crickets from Fluker Farms, one of the more well-established online insect vendors (yes, these exist and there are a lot of them). I decided on a shipment of 250 crickets …” Read much more here: https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/12/29/i-ordered-box-crickets-internet-it-went-about-well-youd-expect/?utm_term=.a0a393b763f6

“Who’s up for a dramatic reading of the minutes from the last meeting?”

For whatever reason – I have had to write a large number of minutes, agendas, reports, secretary’s certificates and the like, for a number of organizations, including the church, the NAACP, and the fire company in the last several months. And I think that I am about to finish the fifth set of minutes for the month of December. I was looking for a graphic to include in one of the sets of minutes, when I came across this one – and it made me smile. 31Dec2018

On Dec. 25, 2001, the Christian rock band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation”

On Dec. 25, 2001, the Christian rock band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation”

By Kevin Dayhoff, assembled from multiple sources Dec. 26, 2018

On Dec. 25, 2001, the American Christian metal band, P.O.D. released “Youth of the Nation,” a single from the album “Satellite,” written by Noah Bernardo, Marcos Curiel, Traa Daniels, and Sonny Sandoval. For many historians, the song is accepted as an anthem of the era in its telling of three stories of adolescent tragedy in American culture.

If you check out the official Atlantic Records’ music video carefully, directed by Paul Fedor, Carhenge is used as a backdrop for parts of the chorus; and the book “On the Road” by Jack Kerouac can be seen on the dashboard of the car - https://youtu.be/EDKwCvD56kw.

According to multiple sources, but best explained by Zachary Fenell, in “Alternative Rock Songs About Suicide,” October 11, 2010, “It begins by describing a teenager unknowingly skating to school only to be shot by a fellow student. Lyrics go on to speculate whether or not the boy who committed the act felt unloved.

“Following the chorus, a 12-year-old girl called ‘little Suzie’ is depicted as having been abandoned by her father and subsequently ‘finding love in all the wrong places.’

“Finally, another teen known as ‘Johnny boy’ fails to fit in with his peers and ultimately commits suicide by firearm, ‘[telling] the world how he felt with the sound of a gat.’”

In an interview with Mitchell Blatt in 2008, “Back Together, New Album in April” Curiel said, "When you can hear something that's going to uplift you like 'Alive' or something that's going to bring out knowledge like 'Youth of the Nation,' we've done our jobs as an artist."

95-year-old Bob Dole stands from his wheelchair at the Capitol

4Dec2018 - 95-year-old Bob Dole stands from his wheelchair at the Capitol to salute the casket of fellow World War II veteran - President George H.W. Bush.

By all rights, 21-year-old Bob Dole should have been dead after being shot by Germans in WW2, and 20-year-old George Bush after being shot out of the sky by the Japanese.

Stand for the flag - kneel for the cross.

George H.W. Bush’s service dog, “Sully”

Spokesman for the Bush family Jim McGrath shared this photo of George H.W. Bush's service dog, Sully. https://bit.ly/2FTFD5R

KVUE, “Mission complete. #Remembering41” 9:01 PM - Dec 2, 2018 HOUSTON — George H.W. Bush’s service dog spent a moment with the 41st president’s casket on Sunday night, ahead of a week filled with memorial services.

Bush’s longtime spokesman, Jim McGrath, tweeted a photo the service dog, Sully, laying in front of the casket. The caption read, “Mission complete.”

Bush’s son Jeb retweeted the photo and said, “Sully has the watch.”

According to a news article at KVUE, “Bush will lie in state at the U.S. Capitol giving the American public an opportunity to bid farewell. An arrival ceremony will be held for the former president on Monday at 5 p.m. CT. The public is invited to pay respects beginning Monday at 6:30 p.m. CT through Wednesday at 6 a.m.

“Wednesday [Dec. 5, 2018] is the national day of mourning.

“A plane arrived at Ellington Airport in Houston to take Bush’s body to Washington. A train will eventually take him to his final resting place in College Station with his wife Barbara, who died earlier this year, and daughter Robin, who died from leukemia as a child.”
