Today is the hundredth anniversary of the General Slocum disaster.

Of course, that means that tomorrow is the hundredth anniversary of Bloomsday.

For a while, the picture on my desktop was of Bush and Schwarzenegger. I thought it was cute (and, of course, in sync with my political beliefs). With a new computer, I lost the picture. Now my background is this beaut of a shot.

By the way, I'm shocked- shocked!- that I let yesterday pass without mentioning that it was Flag Day. Sure, I was busy, but me not mention flags? Unheard of. Check out this site, to which I contribute via their Yahoo group.
