Three things I can't explain



1. This...cow...I have nothing more to say about that.(Except that those are bullet holes.)
2. Why Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) and Alison Krauss (bluegrass diva) sound so great together. Click on the title above "Three things I can't explain" and then click "play" next to the song "Gone Gone Gone"
3. The glitch in the Matrix. Well this is what I call it when I joke about weird happenings. Eric and I are enjoying making our way through each of the six seasons of Northern Exposure thanks to Netflix. We were watching the fourteenth episode of season five the other day. In it, the character Ed asked Adam about the meaning of being hit (which he was) by lightning. In response, Adam says in a way that both made us laugh (the acting is amazing) as well as stop to say, "Man that's good writing."
Here is it: "Check out the Declaration of Independence. Do you think it promises happiness? No, no no. It talks about the pursuit of happiness, the PURSUIT. We've become a nation of wimps. We think we're entitled to everything. We want to legislate ourselves into some cozy little cocoon. Well forget it nature boy! There are no guarantees. Life is nasty, brutish and short. Ecce homo!" (The rant is much better on TV) The part that is weird is that the next day I was listening to the radio and they played some random song and when it ended they played that very monologue from that very episode of Northern Exposure and when it ended they just went right in to the next random song. No comment, no theme, just...a glitch in my personal Matrix. :)
