4/5
A barrage of Iraq and Afghanistan vignettes. No narrative, few conclusions. Depressing but illuminating.
3/5
Decent thriller.
Spring starts right now, unless you're south of the equator in which case welcome to Autumn. Rendered in Catfood Earth (Windows, Android).
Devil's Slide Trail used to be one of the most scenic stretches of Highway 1. It was hard to enjoy though while you were trying not to crash and die. Now it's a leisurely stroll with magnificent views and well worth a visit.
Hike starts at 37.5852899, -122.5098668 (Google Earth).

Google is going to start ranking pages based on facts. I'm game. This MUNI sign has always bothered me.
The highest capacity vehicle in the MUNI fleet has to be a two-car light rail vehicle. Capacity 436 people. The average weight of a person is 185 pounds. So we're looking at 80,660 pounds per rush hour train.
The lightest dog is a 1.4 pound Chihuahua named Ducky.
So at the absolute outside with no other passengers the limit is 57,614 dogs. I'm going to have to make some stickers...

Catfood Earth fans will want to download Catfood Earth 3.30. This update fixes a problem where volcanoes were all plotted in the middle of the screen.
4/5
Fascinating story about sequencing the Neanderthal genome with a lot of frank insights into the scientific process - both highs of clever breakthroughs and lows of petty rivalries. Excellent.
