What a delightful summer it's been. Dry, cool, lots of sunshine. I've been treating this space poorly the last couple of weeks; wedding planning has taken priority -- it is almost September after all!

The Media on Std. Deviations
I found this Marginal Revolution post revealing:

For the past week or so the newspapers have been trumpeting a new study showing no difference in average math ability between males and females. Few people who have looked at the data thought that there were big differences in average ability but many media reports also said that the study showed no differences in high ability.
...
All of these reports and many more like them are false.

Is McCain inching towards Pawlenty?

ROCHESTER, New Hampshire (CNN) – It's VP tea leaf reading season, and a Republican source who attended a small private meeting with John McCain Tuesday in New Hampshire tells CNN that the GOP candidate dropped a serious hint about Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty.

The Republican source said "out of the blue" McCain told the gathering that he thinks they are "really going to like" Pawlenty.

Say it ain't so, T-Paw! I have commented about this before.

We drove up to Bayfield last weekend for a brief sailing adventure, but the boat needs a motor to leave the marina and it decided to go on a vacation of its own. We had fun anyway.

Consolation for the fact Mike really got hurt during what happens at the end. Also: "ABE LIKES IT!"

The first two photos were taken by my mother in Buffalo. She called me excitedly on the phone, saying she "gotten it!". "It" being the lightning bolt in the rainbow.

Strange Sight
Photo-0030

Seen out the back door of my office: venting the contents of a propane tank used by the former owners. They lit it at 11 and it was still going strong when I left a few minutes ago.
