As the pictures show the run-of-the-mill caber tosser is no match for the Ultimate TriAthlete.

High Tech Miniature Simulation of Highland Games

Caber Toss

For those of you who didn't make it to the Edinboro Highland Games today I at least have this photo of the next best thing: I had a competition in the kitchen and then on my front porch.  The competition was fierce.  The kitchen wasn't too hot for me to handle: I came in first place.  We waited a while for the second round so that I could find my camera & batteries.  Sadly, the batteries weren't too strong so I didn't get many great shots.  Well, I didn't get any great shots.   And I guess the first round had worn me out.  A young 29 year old lassie beat me on the second round.  But at least I managed to come in second place.  Well, I can't type any more -- the heavy caber wore me out.

Sensitive Treatment of Colours of Persons

There are many sensitive issues facing our world today. One which has been brought to my attention is the issue of discriminatory attitudes regarding colours of persons. 

The question of whether real men can wear pink is currently being addressed in a poll as well as the issue as to whether it is acceptable for male stuffed animals to wear pink.

See: http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/CarpeBanana/709867/

This site is dedicated to the principle that colours should not be discriminated against and that all persons male and female alike should be allowed to choose what colours they wear.  I have on occasion worn a faded fluorescent peach Adidas t-shirt, which could and has been mistaken for pink.

If you hold to the view that men should not be allowed to wear pink, why not also hold the view that women should not be allowed to wear blue?  It could be alleged that this would avoid confusion when little babies were dressed in pink or blue.  Have you ever seen someone with a baby and wanted to comment and been tongue-tied lest you put your foot in your mouth by asking "Isn't he cute?  What's his name?"  And being told, "She.  Not he.  She.  Can't you tell?  My mother warned me not to go outside because there were all sorts of weirdos.  I should have listened to her."  But our forefathers in their wisdom valued the rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".  Liberty means that parents have the freedom both to dress their children in the "wrong" colour of clothes and to give them names which don't always reveal their gender.

And yes, Anya, it does not even rise to the level of child abuse to dress children in sewer green.

This site is dedicated to the principle that colours should not be discriminated against -- are you?

What is one color that you absolutely dislike and why?

John Calvin, whose 500th birthday is Friday,  July 10th, said "There is not one blade of grass, there is no colour in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice."
