Okay, then, I am back among the land of the living. Sort of. Don't ask me any difficult questions.

First off, though, belated congrats to Rob! And happy what-would-have-been 90th birthday to Roald Dahl (thanks, Glenna).

On to spooky stuff. Are creepy, haunted-y feelings caused by low frequencies instead of ghostly spirits? Have Russians discovered Can an elaborate setup of dominos satisfyingly squish a tomato every time? (Okay, that last one isn't scary, just fun in a demented sort of way.)

It's the season for fall festivals, but there's also ArtCarFest this weekend, in case you're into such things. Go check it out and report back!
