This Spot Is Always Cluttered



The feng shui of our house has it that the spot at the bottom of the stair attracts clutter. I call this spot the PMA, or permanent mess area.

As a family we share responsibility for leaving items here.

Kid Brings "Great Emu War" To My Attention

A man helping an Australian secret agent infiltrate the Emu camp.

According to Wikipedia:

The Emu War, also known as the Great Emu War, was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the latter part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be running amok in the Campion district of Western Australia. The unsuccessful attempts to curb the population of emus, a large flightless bird indigenous to Australia, employed soldiers armed with Lewis guns—leading the media to adopt the name "Emu War" when referring to the incident. While a number of the birds were killed, the emu population persisted and continued to cause crop destruction.
