If my math is right, it’s the 7th night of Hanukkah. So it’s a good night to start the holiday music series. Here’s the original, Adam Sandler’s Hanukkah Song …

Best Xmas decoration job ever
From a forwarded email …
Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever. Great stories. But two things made me take it down.
First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.
Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn’t realize that it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of the many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn’t take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard.
I’m so glad I saw this. Because if I’d thought of it, I’d have done it.
And another one for you deer hunters.
Pollen (National Geographic)
Ran across this photo essay on Pollen in the waiting room this morning. Great color-enhanced electron microscopy pix.
Don’t miss the photo gallery featuring additional pix not found in the hard copy.
Monday music: The Cave Singers
We’ll start Christmas favorites next week. Meantime, here’s The Cave Singers (darker side):
Live @BBC version. Great sound quality.
Lighter side: Summer light.
Live version. Decent sound.
Ellis Hollow calendars
Last week, I received the first hard copy of my new bloom day scan calendar. I was so impressed with the quality of the printing that I pulled together a second calendar of photos.
So those of you who have requested calendars over the years, you can visit zazzle.com and order them online.
I haven’t had time to master all the features of zazzle.com yet. Not sure that I’d want to make a living off zazzle sales. But if you’ve ever thought of making a few calendars or notecards from you images, it’s worth a try.
