Grilled Cheese Invitational Rules!




Grilled Cheese Invitational Rules!

This sounds like a fun place to go.



NO FLAME-THROWERS!

And from David Brin's blog posting this morning: The next few decades will in part revolve around whether these people decide to side with Western Civilization... and with our children ... or instead, they give into the blandishments of ego and human nature, doing what you or I might do, if we stood in their $20,000 loafers.

It's not going to be a boring time ahead for anyone.
