Adventures away from blogging - Links on Lime Juice, Vodka, Tea, Chili, the Potato, the Sky, and the Number Zero

Ok, after a complete adventure in buying a new computer (and a post for another day), I am finally back. Of course, during that time I was still reading other sites and blogs. Here are a few posts I found most interesting, humorous, or amazingly spectacular.

(Yup, it's a link post. I haven't done one of these since I started posting on Twitter and Facebook.)

From my old friends over at Thunder Matt's Saloon, did you know Lime Juice is a super cure for just about everything?
