I've never been much of one for signs or omens or the like (and I'm still not)...

However, it's totally unusual (I've never seen this) to see an immense rainbow (while I was on the way home from work this morning) that looked as if it spanned the width of the Mississippi River and then see another full and colorful arch right before sunset this evening. Perhaps the Norse gods are coming back via Bifrost.

This morning I noticed that Achim's blog had been updated recently. While looking around his links page, I noticed that he had links to a couple of Wikimedia sites. I had no idea that there was so much info available via Wikis. I didn't say much about 9/11/01 on 9/11/04 because I wanted to contemplate in silence and refrain from tarnishing a day of remembrance with my abhorrence for the fact that our ELECTED leaders still believe that we need to spread democracy (or any of our other ideals) throughout the world or create peace in areas of the world that have seen strife since before our country came into being. However, I noticed a wiki project that has great potential for the fourth and/or fifth anniversary of 9/11. It would be amazing to see the 9/11 Memorial section of Wikipedia grow by leaps and bounds as a tribute to what was lost on that day. Anybody can contribute to the wiki. If you have something to say, go say it. It would probably be best to familiarize yourself with how to do so first.
