Off to jail

I just googled for guns ammunition champaign il.

To clear up any misunderstandings with the NSA, my 2nd @#$%@# pair of gun mufflers broke yesterday where the plastic headband curved out. Surely there are sturdier gun mufflers out there somewhere.

UPDATE: I found a pair of Remington M-31s at Dick's Sporting Goods in Champaign this afternoon. They're an awfully tight fit but they do eliminate kid noise while I'm pumping Mozart through them.

Googlebait

The praying skeleton image on this page of my blog brings in more visitors from Google than anything else; it generates over three times the traffic of the next referrer, a page at a pyblosxom website.

Internet challenge

This afternoon I challenged our 10-year-old train expert and master googler Christopher to find (in 2 minutes) a picture taken at the completion of the transcontinental railway at Promontory Point, Utah, in 1869. In 90 seconds he had found an entire website devoted to the area: the Golden Spike National Historical Site (complete with the old photos I was thinking of). Here's a history text written by National Park historians Robert M. Utley and Francis A. Ketterson, Jr.
