Desert Botanical Garden

Tonight I visited the Desert Botanical Garden for the after-hours flashlight tour. Way cool! Saw bats and beetles and night hawks.

Incarceration

I read in the paper today (Arizona Republic) that 1 in 136 United States residents is incarcerated. That seems like an obscenely high figure to me, with some states (not Arizona) incarcerating more than 1% of their populace.

I've never been in jail. I guess that's something.

Working from home with a totally unreasonable fever today. JavaMail is a little more amusing on NyQuil. I'd try to tie things together with a line about being cooped up with a head cold (?) being a little like being jailed, but I imagine it's truly nothing like it. I can't even imagine.

Free T-Shirt at Tempe Dodge

Tempe Dodge sent me a flyer promising a free t-shirt just for showing up. So I did. And got a free t-shirt. Kind of fun.
