Bad Luck & Hot Summer Days
Well, it's currently 105 degrees here, making the days feel like they are dragging by. Sleep has been uncomfortable, so I haven't been getting much. We've had a lot going on lately and it's cause me to majorly slack off from the site as of late. Bad luck always seems to comes is threes...and we were certainly hit with the space of a few weeks. The first was the outflow pipe on the kitchen sink clogging up. I think I mentioned this at some point in the last two months, but I can't remember. Anyway, the pipe was draining really slow all of a sudden. Over the course of two and a half weeks, we went through: 2 bottles of Foaming Pipe Snake,1 bottle of commercial grade Foaming Pipe Snake, 2 small bottles of Liquid Plumber (with the plastic clog remover),1 bottle of Liquid Lighting Drain Opener,3 large bottles of Main Line Cleaner, and 2 large bottles of Liquid Plumber. Nothing worked and it got to the point that nothing was draining. I couldn't even run the dishwasher, so we ...

For nearly a year, filmmakers deployed 50 animatronic cameras disguised as realistic life-size penguins, eggs and rocks to infiltrate the colonies of three very different species: emperor penguins in Antarctica, rockhopper penguins on the Falkland Islands, and Humboldt penguins in Peru's Atacama Desert. The resulting footage shows what it is really like to be a penguin from a whole new perspective. Take a front row seat as they journey to their breeding grounds, raise chicks, dodge predators and return ...
