Ah, Returning to the Good ol' Days...

I'm offline until Monday.

I'm helping the Hummingbird with her soaps tomorrow at the Colorado Hummingbird festival.  No, I'm not kidding--a hummingbird festival!  Talk about coincidence.  I'll be pulling double duty as her mule and conducting a literature review (have a foot thick stack of articles to read and annotate).

Then Sunday, of course, is Mother's Day... so I'll be taking care of the Hummingbird in style:  breakfast in bed, hitting Manitou Springs for a Mother's Day lunch, wander around Manitou, hit the bookstore for tea later, and otherwise engage in the higher order of the roosting arts.

But I can't in good conscience leave you for two days without something... so here's an article after MOGS', Antitool's and The Violence Worker's heart:

Russia Displays Military Might at Parade

Damn if it doesn't look like the Cold War again--and just in time for Vladimir Putin's handoff of the presidency to Dmitry Medvedev. 

Anyways, I'll see everyone on Monday!

Not to do anything by half measures, here's the full Victory Day parade with English narration:

Medvedev's speech was virtually identical to the one given by Putin the last time around. No surprise there.

I've lived in Colorado my whole life and never knew there was a Hummingbird Festival! Interesting! :)
