What with the volcano and all, We have been carefully monitoring Squirrel's journey to Anchorage at Our Global Monitoring Station via satellite. We want to make sure he gets home for Baby Squirrel's big day! We have put forces on alert in case it becomes necessary to send in a team to extract him.

An Odd Situation
For those of you who perhaps haven't been following the mightiest spectacle in all of sport -- I refer, of course, to the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament -- I thought I would remark on the peculiar situation the Fates have dealt me this time. In the next round, the East Regional Semi-Finals, my undergraduate alma mater, Villanova, will be playing my graduate alma mater, Duke. That's never happened to me before. I will end up rooting for Duke, because that's the institution from which I have the higher degree, and... well... I'm a snob. But either way, I win. I like that kind of situation.

Diplomatic Gaffe!
No one told the First Lady of Cameroon about the rule that you don't wear a fancier hat than the Pope. A shocking breach of etiquette!

Just another manic Monday...
"Somebody left their lunch in the frig in the break room over the weekend; I need to remind you that's a potential health hazard. The copier on the 2nd floor is broken, and the guy's been called. They'll be installing the new hand-dryers in the cardinals' restroom Thursday. OK, any other announcements? Then lets get out there people and save some souls!"

My Favorite Martian
Rushing out of the palace the other day, the Pope forgot his skullcap. Luckily he was able to levitate it out of his room and on to his head with a mere wave of his hand. Dang! The perks that come with that job!

Yesterday, all the ice had melted and the streets weren't even wet. Crap! Crap, I say!

Crisis Resolved!
As some of you know, there was a dastardly attack against the power grid of the paradisaical Hamster Realms yesterday. We suspect Scottish fifth-columnists:
Happily, The Rodentine Office of Emergency Preparedness had drilled for this sort of thing, and there was only the slightest interruption of despotic services.
More on the is story to follow. . .

Oscar Fever
In Hollywood, auditions have started for the new, all-penguin version of "Chariots of Fire." I smell an oscar... or is that just herring?

The Rangers at the Inauguration!
Some memorable photos from the Lawn Rangers site:
And it's so heartening to see that they believe in giving rodents their due!
There are also You Tube videos of the Rangers at the inauguration, including one with images of precision lawn drilling overlaid by hysterically pompous commentary by MSNBC folk, who obviously weren't paying much attention to the images going out on the screen during their pontifications.

Inauguration Pageantry
No doubt, many of you, like me, were awed and moved by the appearance of the World Famous Lawn Rangers Precision Lawn Mower Drill Team from Arcola, Illinois in the parade yesterday. (Their motto is: "You're only young once... but you can always be immature.") 
This, unfortunately, is not a scene from the inaugural parade. I couldn't seem to find one on the net. It might be that the president's team is still covering up from his last encounter with the group. (Yes, that's the Commander-in-Chief with a green plunger.)
"We will be the whoopee cushion of the inaugural parade," declared Ranger veteran Tom Bruno, a member of the Champaign City Council.
