Rebuild a Library?
Just chipped in ten bucks for a Kickstarter you folks might find interesting - One Hundred Sixty-Eight Hours and One Second. Funding new books for Baghdad's College of Fine Arts which got essentially sacked in 2003 and is still rebuilding. Anyway, follow the link for the details. -

Leslie's Cats are official!
Signal boost for Leslie's announcement on Facebook (where probably more people saw it anyway, but what the heck). And I quote:

Oh, poop!
Figures Tony Wu would be the one to point this out. Of course goodness knows if you follow whales around with a camera, poop you will see from time to time.

Ruins...
Got my first Kuriositas bulletin in awhile... Satsop, Washington began an atomic power plant in 1977, only to abandon the uncompleted result when they ran out of funding in 1983.
