You guys need to go back to just embedding straight Youtube videos. Whatever video player you've been using lately has been unreliable at best. Half the time, the videos don't load for me. :( i need my daily dose of tearful reunions, man!

For what it's worth, latex is completely biodegradable. Also, in calm weather, very few of the balloons released will make it back to the surface intact - most will rise high enough to shatter into significantly smaller pieces (apparently due to colder temperature and the expansion of the helium inside the balloon caused by the lower air pressure). Those that do fall back to the ground are typically scattered along the lines of 1 balloon every 15 square miles or so and they are quickly broken down and decomposed by sunlight, bacteria, and the atmosphere.

I'd say it's not as big a deal as it could be and you shouldn't let your concerns cloud your memories of Granny Ginny's tribute! Also, that is a great picture :-)

I certainly appreciate the effort Anne. I am definitely disappointed with BoA and I'll make a point to only travel Citibank from now on

Note taken - Cleveland has a ridiculously glorious number of farmers markets. Ohio and Western Pennsylvania farmland and Amish country are apparently very productive 8-)

Why for is that image not clickable / resizable? Can't see a thing.

As explained in his first appearance, Krypto was originally the toddler Kal-El's dog while they were on Krypton. Jor-El, testing prototypes for the rocket that would eventually send Kal-El to Earth, decided to use Krypto as a test subject. However, Krypto's rocket was knocked off-course; the rocket drifted through space for years until it eventually landed on Earth, where Krypto was reunited with the now-teenaged superhero, Superboy. Due to the environment (vs. Earth's yellow sun and lower gravity), Krypto possessed the same powers and abilities as his master, although his physical abilities were proportionate to his smaller size and species, similar to an ordinary dog vs. a human. Certain sensory abilities of Krypto's (senses of smell and hearing) would be more acute than those of Superman, just as an ordinary dog's senses would be more acute than those of an ordinary human. Krypto also had super-canine intelligence (approximately human level, though with his canine traits and interests still present); the comics expressed this via the use of thought balloons indicating what Krypto was thinking.

Krypto was drawn as a white dog of generic pedigree. The early appearances of the character in the comics usually featured exaggerated anthropomorphic facial expressions; these were replaced in later appearances by a more generic canine face. When fighting crime, Krypto usually wore a gold collar, a miniature facsimile of the famed Superman-"S" symbol for a dog tag, and a dog-sized version of Superman's cape.

my sofa is always open to random crashings. even have a second bedroom for extended privacy. and a rear deck large enough for a tent for two. and a front porch for a few more sleeping bags and cots. heck, i could probably accommodate 5 or 6 people at a time :)

I have seen conflicting reports, some say this was just clever cropping by the photographer, others saying the ducks were rescued (with a video of the ducklings being pulled from a drainage grate.
