In keeping with my post last weekend showing off a few photos of fruits and flowers, here are some of my shots from our visit to the Denver Botanical Gardens today:

And here’s one from a few days ago — a tomato from our garden.

The Y2K bug lives!

At one point yesterday, for a minute or two, the top of the countdown box in my blog’s sidebar at right briefly looked like this:

I quickly fixed it, and was amused when I realized what the problem was. I had accidentally entered the date of Monday’s Rockies-Giants game at Coors Field — which my Dad and I have tickets to — as “8/24/09” instead of “8/24/2009.” As a result, the countdown script was counting the number of days until August 24, 1909, which, because of leap years, would indeed be negative 36,522 days “after” August 21, 2009. Heh. Who’d have thunk it: the Y2K bug, still going strong almost a decade after the 1900s ended!

On an unrelated note… who’s excited for football season to start?!? Only 13 12 days left!! WOOOOO!!!!!

Bill weakens to 115 mph Cat. 3; expected to wallop Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, then “turn eastward and cross the North Atlantic as a violent ocean storm. It should reach Scotland in five days. It may still have hurricane force gusts when it gets there.” –Alan Sullivan

P.S. Here’s the Bermuda radar, showing Bill’s rain bands moving in.
