Happy Halloween!

After a ghoulish night of trick-or-treating, relax with a nice cup of tea from a Halloween Teapot.

Black Tuesday

October 29th, "Black Tuesday" was the culmination of a three day financial meltdown in 1929 that abruptly ended the the Roaring Twenties and marked the start of the Great Depression of the 1930's. The stock market didn't completely recover from the great stock market crash until the mid 1950's.

Pint size porkers

First there were these, and now CrackedPot has discovered yet another miniaturized critter...Teacup Pigs. A friend told me that Good Morning America featured a segment about them. What is it with morning shows and miniaturized mammals?

Teacup Pigs apparently grow up to be roughly the size of a Cocker Spaniel. More bacon bits here and here (scroll down a tad).

It's all relative

The perils of aging

One of the downsides of aging in the digital age is your friends can post your picture on their blog and announce to any and all that you're now officially Over-the-Hill Middle-Aged. Happy 40th to Bob and 50th to Steve!
