One of our seminary staff caught this picture during the outdoor reception after Call Night service. It absolutely amazes me. Above the cross on the roof of the chapel are plane lights.
I just love this. Photo by the seminary's web designer and great photographer, Mark Polege.

Wouldn't you just know that on one of the first times in major league baseball history that a game will be played with no fans in the stands it would involve Dale's lifelong favorite team, the Chicago White Sox?
Well today is the day. An afternoon game in Baltimore minus any fans due to this week's rioting and protests. One for the ages and worth looking at for a bit to see just how a game looks with no faces or sound.

Another study. Researchers studying obesity at Ohio State found that the amount of food in the homes of the obese and non-obese was about the same. The difference was where the food was found — all around the house in the homes of obese study participants and put away in the homes of those of normal weight.
Which means, in the homes of obese people there was more likely to be food sitting around in sight with ease of grabbing a handful of whatever it happened to be. Candy, cookies, chips etc. Non obese people had the habit of putting food away in cupboards or pantries.
As an aside, I was deciding how to spell cupboard (often pronounce-cubboard) and realized it looks like cup board which probably means that back in the old days, cups were set on a shelf. Or something. Also, do people say cupboards anymore or is it just cabinets?

From the PEW Research Center, a quiz on how well you know what's going on. Not overly difficult even if you have been paying on half hearted attention.

We need a new dishwasher as I mentioned the other day, but we've been busy and haven't had time to go check any of them out. I was just looking at Terry's Appliance Center's site and the frustrating part is that each dishwasher listed has a banner which tells us to "call for best price". No prices are listed. I'd like to buy local but I also want to know how costs compare and this makes it difficult.

I often wonder how many people choose not to "skip this ad" found on most news sites. Who watches ads?

This year's first batch of baby ducks was hatched this morning and the mother duck walked them from the maintenance area to the fountain. Up a hilly sidewalk, across a street and into the water. How long they will survive with hawks in the area is anyone's guess. We all are hoping they make it.
There were 12 ducks hatched, ten went with the mother and our maintenance guys kept 2 for observation since they did not look strong.

Here we go for the final push. Brought in a mulching company to mulch around the many trees and beds on the main campus. This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. they come in a couple of big hauler trucks, pull out long hoses and shoot the mulch into the right spot. It goes so fast, so much better than the last company we had who used men pushing wheelbarrows of mulch around for days.
