on the way out
Jun. 10th, 2006 03:46 pmMy carrots have sprouted. A whole little row of them, peeking up out of the dirt. It's neat. Hopefully they'll do better than last fall's November planting, which was too late, in the old planter's soil before I rebuilt anything, and generally too late in the year anyway, but the seeds I'd been given were going to expire anyway so hey, why not?
I expect this year will do better, even if I didn't give the soil as much settling time as I should've. Such is the life of those running eternally late.
Meanwhile, here are three important news stories for your entertainment!
The Washington Post calls this a "compromise," I call it "a complete surrender and betrayal of the Constitution": Arlen Spector introduces bill allowing warrentless surveillance and providing blanket amnesty for anyone who may have engaged in unconstitutional warrantless spying during the Bush administration. This is, of course, in and of itself, unconstitutional. But that stops no one, clearly.
World energy demand growth picking back up again, as consumers get used to higher prices; apparently most of the slowing in growth has been more sticker-shock than anything else. Of course, these are projections, how it comes out will be seen.
Railroads are ramping up: One project to boost coal shipments is the proposal by Dakota, Minnesota and Eastern Railroad to ship Wyoming coal east through South Dakota and Minnesota. If constructed, the DM&E project would be the largest railroad construction project in the United States in 100 years.
