The good, the bad, and the

The good: a surprise backpack armadillo, a new winter hat, time shared.

The bad: Hawaiian birds that may be extinct today, and First Bush awarding Schwarzenegger for public service (What public service has he done, exactly? Movie star, maybe? Being elected governor? *snerk*).

The not-ugly: one of the photo catalogs I saw this morning was all pictures of food... and it included recipes! (Not for every picture, alas, but still!).
