Through The Eyes Of Jacob

Jacob received a camera from his Aunt Gail for Christmas. Here is Jacobs photo journal starting on about Christmas 2006 up until today March 20th, 2007. You can pretty much assume that he took the picture unless you see him in the picture and it is obvious the he didn't. In the cases that he didn't take the picture it is usually Ethan and sometimes its taken by his Aunt Rachel. I have removed a few pictures that you couldn't tell what they where at all (probably taken by Ethan) but for the most part I have left it unedited.

I present to you the world through the eyes of a 4 year old boy...

Help needed!

Malaysian monks face ant dilemma
A group of Buddhist monks in Malaysia is appealing for help to solve a problem with ants. Buddhism forbids devotees from harming any living creature. So the monks are looking for a creative and non-violent solution to deal with the insects, which are biting worshippers.

I think there are some smart and creative people that read this blog so I thought maybe we could all put our heads together to come up with a good way to help these monks take care of their ant problem without harming the ants. If you read the whole article it says that they already tried to vacuum them up and it didn't work, but surely there is another way. Please help!

A dog and his boy

Our ever loyal dog Mason and his boy Jacob...

Mason lets Jacob fall asleep on him one night when Jacob was having trouble settling down.

Here Mason comforts Ethan when he was sick with the flu several weeks ago. For about three days Ethan laid around and did nothing. Mason never left his side. Right before that Jacob was sick and Mason never left his side either.

Strangely enough Mason is sick with a cold right now (believe it or not). I have never seen him sick like this. Unfortunately the boys are not reciprocating in like manner.

Hollywood Physics



9 Laws of Physics That Don’t Apply in Hollywood



I must confess that all of these issues have bothered me at one time or another in movies except maybe the sound that travels at the speed of light. I can't think of a time that that particular physics violation has crossed my mind with movies. Now I am sure that one will annoy me all the time too.

Allegre's second thoughts





Allegre's second thoughts

"With a wealth of data now in, Dr. Allegre (a renowned geochemist) has recanted his views. To his surprise, the many climate models and studies failed dismally in establishing a man-made cause of catastrophic global warming. Meanwhile, increasing evidence indicates that most of the warming comes of natural phenomena. Dr. Allegre now sees global warming as over-hyped and an environmental concern of second rank." more...
