Thursday miscellanea #201

• One week to football!  Couple it with the glorious windows-down morning commutes, and it’s hard to be in a bad mood.
• Worst year for West Nile virus in the United States ever, though.
• My funny and insightful friend Marianne just started her own blog.  Go check her out!
• Planning a Disney trip can be intimidating.  I haven’t taken the trip yet, but so far I definitely recommend Small World Vacations.  Go familiarize yourself a bit with the offerings—resorts, ticketing options, and so forth—and then head to the Small World site.  It’s prompt, friendly, competitively priced, and there is no charge to you for the service.
• Mad Anthony’s Fiery Mustard Sauce is a fine product, but I didn’t think it was worth the premium price ($7).  It’s good, but it’s not memorable.  It seems like something you could easily do yourself just adding hot sauce to French’s.
• Certainly have enjoyed the V-22 Osprey in the sky this week.  What a nifty aircraft!
• Did you see that the word “accidental” has been officially removed from Natalie Wood’s death certificate?
