I Can’t Quit You… Oh Wait, Actually I Can!
So what's a former Alaskan Governor who quit less than halfway through her term going to do now that she's on a book tour? Quit again! While visiting Noblesville, Indiana this past Thursday Sarah Palin decided that the last 300 people who just spent three hours getting wristbands and an additional three hours waiting in line just weren't worth her time anymore.
Were they pissed? You betcha'!! The mob boo'ed and yelled as she pulled away in her book tour bus:
I would be angry too. If I ever write a book and have a signing you can bet dollars to donuts I'm not going to leave until all the books are signed, my hand falls off, or all the sharpies at the store run out.
Only 1,000 people were allowed to be in that line to have their books signed, so she let down almost a third of her most devoted fans. Many of them got there very early in the morning just to wait in that line. I feel bad that those people had to learn the hard way that Sarah is, in reality, exactly the twit they used to claim she's not.

Base Jumping off Burj Dubai
The Burj Dubai, at 818m tall, is the tallest man-made structure in the world. It is scheduled to be completed on January 2010.
Here is a video of the first people to base jump off of the structure (back when it was "only" 600 meters tall):
To get a sense of just how BIG this building is, here is a more recent video taken from the pinnacle by the construction crew:
Turkey Run
A couple weeks ago we made a trip over to Turkey Run State Park with our good friends Heather and Brent. Libby did great, spending most of the time either riding in our baby backpack or stomping along in the leaves.
