• The first draft of this post apparently got sucked into the vast expanse of Internetland. Really? Does that still even happen? Only to me? I'm not surprised ...
• Even when I'm not in the newsroom, I feel for the people who have to tackle post-deadline breaking news. At least you enjoy the rush. RIP Ted Kennedy.
• This article on burlesque is really interesting.
• There's a restaurant on Beale Street in Memphis that has been deep-frying its food in the same grease since 1912. Not just the same kind. Same exact grease. They keep it locked in a safe each night and reuse it the next day.
• Both the sun and moon have an effect on Earth's tides. The sun is 400 times farther away, and it's effect is one-third that of the moon.
• You really never know who's paying attention or whether everything is coming across in context. Act accordingly.
• Being aware of your skeletons makes it that much easier to make them disappear should you ever, say, decide to run for office someday.

Hey, I found the original ...
• This guy is adorable. It's nice to know that people still exist who aren't embarrassed to be genuinely happy.

• Do not wash blankets that still have grass all over them. The teeny grass clippings will just end up soppy and stuck to sides of the washer. They probably cause a fire hazard in the dryer, too, where the rest of them end up all over everything else. Just shake out your blankets.
• If you shrink a sweater, etc. in the dryer, try soaking it again and hanging it up. The weight of the water helps pull the fibers apart until its the right length again. Then you can stretch/shape it back to its original size as it dries. (This apparently works with Merino wool, at least.)
