St. Jacobs My wife and I went out to St. Jacobs today -- my idea -- better than going to Midland. It was a nice and sunny day today, and spring was in the air -- not to mention the horses -- there is a Mennonite community in St. Jacobs, and horse drawn buggies use the streets -- if you get my drift. First stop was at the Stone Crock -- we wanted lunch, but were 15 minutes too early for the 11:30 lunch start, so we went shopping in their bakery. Bought an apple pie, a veggie cheese bread, some oatmeal cookies, some chelsea buns and a small jar of apple butter. I think everything is baked on site. Lunch consisted of soup, sandwich and salad for me, and salad and wrap for my wife. We finished it off with slices of pie. I was stuffed (smart ass). Then -- then -- my wife took me shopping. Yes, this was my idea. But I survived.

This has got to be one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Researchers cut holes into the sides of cows and insert an cannula, which allows access to a live animals stomach. These holes are so big, you can actually see what's going on inside -- literally, reach into the stomach of a cow. Cows stomach have millions microbes that aid in digestion, and surprisingly, cannulated cows are usually the healthiest of the herd. You would think that walking around with a hole in your stomach would be bad for you, but apparently not. Some farmers apparently keep cannulated cows in their herd so they can serve as microbe donors to sick cows. Just bizarre. [Source: Oddity Central ]

If you're going to pirate movies online, why go for the crap Hollywood puts out when you have options like those listed at BitTorrent site, C homsky T orrents.org ? The site describes itself as a gathering place for torrents with progressive and radical content. As for now, it preserves a special place for the work of American dissident Noam Chomsky, as the domain name suggests. I didn't know Chomsky was a dissident -- but I suppose that's one way of describing him in the current American environment.
