Cool site for plant geeks like me — thought I’d let y’all in on the action. :) It’s got pictures and info and a how-to-turn-your-garden-into-wildlife-habitat section. What’s not to love? Scroll down on the first page for an awesome picture of a monarch chrysalis.

Why We Should Dread Scott
Interesting (and utterly convincing) article from Slate.com on the real reason Bush said he wouldn’t appoint a judge who condoned the Dred Scott decision. Turns out it was “an invisible high-five to the Christian right.”
I’m even scareder now than I was before…
for the working… scotsman?
Karen points out a site for the “Utilikilt Workman’s Kilt”:https://secure.utilikilts.com/catalog-workman-index.htm complete with pockets and hammer loop. Apparently for an extra $25 you can get one with a “Beer Gut Cut”. Mm hmm. I have no response to that.
The company’s motto is, “We sell freedom!” Mm hmm.
Space, it’s what’s for dinner
I’ll have details of my own space exploration soon, but for now I’m sure you’ll be excited to hear about the new Space Prize, Robert Bigelow’s follow-on to the X Prize. It’s a $50 million prize for the first vehicle that can reach low earth orbit and dock with Nautilus, his proposed orbiting hotel. Go, space folks!
Happy Birthday, Deana!
It’s almost midnight in Michigan, but it’s still Deana’s birthday for hours in California. Happy Birthday!
