02:54 pm - my pocket parafoil, playing in the wind

They sell these little parafoils at Walmart for about $10 now. They come with the kite itself (nylon sewn construction), a spool of string, a nylon drawstring bag to keep it in, and cheapo plastic streamer tails (the only part I didn't like).
Well worth the $ if you like kites, and they fly well. Less frustrating for kids too, because they stay aloft better than a standard diamond or delta shaped kite.

11:51 pm - Lithargic Legacy

Litharge or lead oxide is a toxic yellow substance, formula PbO, created by heating lead in air. It can also be formed by heating lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2. It is used in the manufacture of paints and in glass, as well as in vulcanization.
Do I know that is lead oxide in the picture? No, I do not. But it LOOKS toxic, and it made me think of lead compounds, thus the name.

07:42 pm - Working from past to present... hangin' with Olivia and Aaron 1 We finally got over to Olivia ( hisbonnielass) and Aaron's ( ezerick's) house for dinner Feb 29th, after having talked about it for several weeks. The rain was crazy that night, and the roads were dark and winding. We made it though, and it was very worthwhile. Dinner was excellent, the company was enjoyable, and the kids were plentiful. Kids? Yes.
