Updated Wish Lists

With my birthday coming up very soon (Earth Day: April 22nd), many readers of my blog have been requesting links to my wishlists. Here they are: Amazon and ThinkGeek. At the top of my list though is a fully automatic Glock for hunting squirrels. If the video doesn't work for you, just click here to watch.

Quote from Albert Einstein

I just ran across something Albert Einstein once said:

He who joyfully marches to music rank and file, has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be a part of so base an action. It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.

Fred Rogers and Rilke would probably concur. Not so sure about Bush (although he did avoid fighting in Vietnam). What about you?

I took my new Canon 10d camera out on a tour of the Scott Broadbent Compound in La Honda. Click the photo to see a set of images captured this morning. It had rained all night and the morning sun was just beginning to come out.
