Wednesday open thread

Sorry, this one is going to be a bit shameless. I haven't made a thread since the beginning of May and, to be honest, nothing huge has happend that has made me want to start one. Given the recent supreme court case Washington DC vs Heller I have been a little excited lately.

Anyone else have anything to share on this Wednesday afternoon?

Novel approach. use google. find article from The Olympian: theolympian.com

Smoke from Northern California fires has combined with regionally generated air pollution and weather conditions to give South Sound a hazy look, air-quality officials said Tuesday.

...

much of the hazy look is the result of air pollution from motor vehicles and industry cooking in the heat and creating smog, or ozone. "We could be getting some residual smoke from the Northern California fires," Sinnett said.

In case anybody cares.

My Bentley is broke down, otherwise I would hightail it up there.

And just so you know, I read the docent conversation, and I didn't post this looking for a fight. I just wanted to share. I figured an open thread would be the best place for it. If it needs to come off the front page that certainly won't hurt my feelings. Norm
