When we were visiting California my niece Jessica started us playing the Dominion Designer Board Game. Yesterday we started playing with the Dominion: Seaside expansion set, and I told Jack I should write a card picking script. As it happens, someone already has at Dominion Card Picker.
Cat Safe Plants
I started looking at for a list of cat safe house plants for my mother and was amazed by how many were on this list at House Plants: Cat Safe Plants.

The Big Picture does Stormy skies.
