Squirrel in Focus – awesome photo of once in a lifetime moment

This photo totally made my week :-):

Squirrel.jpg

Melissa Brandts: “My husband and I were exploring Lake Minnewanka in Banff National Park, Canada, when we stopped for a timed picture of the two of us. We had our camera set up on some rocks and were getting ready to take the picture when this curious little ground squirrel appeared, became intrigued with the sound of the focusing camera and popped right into our shot! A once in a lifetime moment! We were laughing about this little guy for days!”

Linus the parenting gold star – big smile!

I had a big, big smile while reading Linus Torvalds latest blog post titled Parenting gold star (?). Here is why – enjoy, as much as I did!:-)

One of his children, Celeste (8), was asked in Tae-Kwon-Do summer camp to write a letter home about how she is thankful to their parents.

She is starting like follows:

Celeste:You buy me lunch, breakfast and dinner. You bought me animals to play with so I could have a lot of fun in my life.

… nice, fine so far…

Celeste:You also let me bury them instead of flushing them down the toilet.

Well, yeah, something that does obviously really count for a child. As Linus states: premium parenting Clearly have to remeber this!

Linus:Ooh, yeah! That’s some premium parenting there. Gold stars all around!

Closing clause:

Linus:Of course, she has clearly forgotten about the fish. We did flush those.
