This looks like a lot of fun! Somewhat like the bottle rocket wars of our youth, but a tad more extreme.
Mother's Day
Mother’s Day – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Different countries celebrate Mother’s Day on various days of the year because the day has a number of different origins.
One school of thought claims this day emerged from a custom of mother worship in ancient Greece, which kept a festival to Cybele, a great mother of Greek gods. This festival was held around the Vernal Equinox around Asia Minor and eventually in Rome itself from the Ides of March (15 March) to 18 March.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers out there!

Happily I have successfully recovered the last bits of un-backed up data from my crashed HD. It was a an early SATA drive from a 4 1/2 year old Dell Dimension 8300.
About a month ago (just before the move), the disk crashed with a horrid buzzing noise. Attempts to reboot just produced an annoying click of death. To salvage the disk, I put it in the freezer for 2 hours. I pulled it out, plugged it into a SATA to USB adapter and it mounted right away. I was able to copy off my old home dir and 2 days of photos.
I’ll add it to the pile of disks to do something artsy with some day.

Brand New Honda CR-V.
After 21 years of marriage we finally bought a brand new car. Happy anniversary dear. We had gone looking at used ones, hoping to save a few bucks, but a 2004 Honda CR-V with 49k miles was just $3k less than this one.
The price difference bought us the new body style, a new car smell, mp3 cd player, and 100k mile warranty.
I did drive a Honda Fit Sport and liked it, but Deb didn’t think it’d work to haul the kids and the dogs around town. I am very tempted though to trade my car in for a Fit Sport when it’s paid off in 7 months.
