As Predicted...
As a forecast about a week or so ago, my blog posting today reads "look, I've progressed another half inch." So here's the latest half inch:
Enough of that, let's talk about "Mythbusters." Last night's episode (a rerun, but new to me) was about the myth of the absurdly cheap sports car - the reason the price is so low, someone died and rotted in it and they can't get the stink out. Well, that one is true. You can't get the stink out. The other involved cornering a raccoon in a culvert and trying to blow the raccoon (or yourself, if inebriated) out of the culvert using gasoline and a lighter. This one was implausible on its face, but a good excuse for explosives nevertheless.
In two weeks they start some new episodes, and judging from the very brief preview (a falling elevator), I'm guessing one might be the myth about jumping up at the moment before the falling elevator hits the bottom of the shaft. (This is high school physics - think about playing ping-pong on board a moving train, and what would happen to the ping-pong ball if the train crashes. Yep, the ball gets smooshed no matter which way it was moving at the time of the crash.)
To conclude with some knitting-related content, our local 9News ran a segment last night in their 6 p.m. newscast about the popularity of knitting! It was nicely done. One of the knitters was a young girl. My daughter happened to be watching with me, and she told me she would like to get some yarn and knitting needles for her birthday in October, and would I please teach her how to knit? Awwww...*sniff*

Sweet. (DD, not Mythbusters, though I find all that pretty interesting.) That's how Daughter OotFP got her start knitting, too, though it didn't really take off for her until college.
