Ho-kay. Story time. Back in
September, I received an email from Daniel
Lieberman, a professor at Harvard. He asked permission to use one of our
vacation photos in an article he was writing. I said "Sure!". The
picture he asked about was the sunset
and acacia tree.
I nearly lost control of all bodily functions when I learned that Nature
magazine was going to use our picture on
the cover. Woot! Here's a larger
picture of the cover.
In other news, folks keep hitting Branchy for the strangest reasons. We're in
the top five for image requests involving "wife
swap" on Google. The picture is from our Africa vacation where three
audience members were selected to play a game: identify their wife by only feeling
her feet. Everyone guessed right and no one swapped wives. Sorry, guys. Try
polyamory.org instead.
Also among recent requests: "golden shower clips", "baby hyenas",
"giraffe tongue", "children bubbles", "pony yiff"
(again!), "maids milking cows", and "expanding breasts".
November's IP address winner is 12.183.129.88, pulling down 4.52% of Branchy's
bandwidth. That's 56 megabytes worth of clips and photos! Thank you, CMA Cablevision
in Kingsville, Texas!
With 326 page requests, this month's leader is 216.39.193.226, located at 12853
Capricorn, in Stafford, Texas. 216.39.193.226 hosts a web page about Shooting
Simulations for Firearms Training.
Why do gun nuts from Texas like my web page? :( I need to write more liberally.
More like a liberal. Liberaler?
Sticking with that theme, I present to you "Nature
Anthem" as written by Jason
Lytle of Grandaddy. It is so sweet, it will give you cavities.

First, let me thank Rick for
taking pictures during Thanksgiving.
Look in the "Photos" section, or click the cropped picture of the
dry-erase board:
Next, Happy Second Birthday to my tiny nephew Jonathan:
Left to right: Sue, Christopher, Jonathan. I didn't give him the guitar. My
present is the one wrapped up in newspaper in the background. :P
I have many things to link to / post / talk about. I hope to have a second post
by the end of this week. Work has finally eased up a bit.
