Don't take the brown acid

Post Wed Apr 30, 2008 4:04 am

Medusa is back, and just in time to say:

Rest in Peace Dr. Albert Hoffman. High School would not have been the same without you.

Mildred Loving, who married who she loved

Post Thu May 08, 2008 2:48 pm

A tip of the hat to Mildred Loving. She was a black woman black woman whose 1967 to marry a white man in Virginia ended up in the U.A. Supreme Court. The result of her fight that she got to marry who she loved, anti mixed-race marriage laws were declared unconstitutional, and another blockade on the road to equality got torn down.

Mildred Loving well deserves to be remembered. The late sixties meant great change, and she was part of it.

Ohh terrible!
My Mum has a fairly virulent form of skin cancer - I think it's called Basal cell carcinoma. It isn't supposed to spread, but will just keep eating away. She has to get them cut out along with a large chunk around it. More common in Aus I thought...sad to see it popping up over this side of the world. :?

Couldn't agree more.

I worked with a girl in Brisbane who'd had a Melanoma check twice a year since her 7th birthday and she was only 22.
Mrs Me had a scan as she 'fits' into the type of person who might be prone to skin cancer (despite covering up) and was told she'd need a check every 4-6 months - apparantly this is the norm for migrants to Oz!
I wish I'd done biology for an urge within me wanted to do it then

Robert Dunlop. Mtorcycle racing legend was killed in an accident during practice at the NorthWest 200 yesterday evening. A double tragedy for the family as his older brother Joey was killed in a similar freak accident a few years ago.

Robert Mondavi, Boxed Wine innovator

Post Sat May 17, 2008 2:00 am

Robert Mondavi, vintner and entrepreneur that largely put California Wines onto the world stage, has gone corked at 94.

So long, sir. Without your highly affordable two-liters of rosé-in-a-box High School would have been much less endurable.
