The Boston Globe goes behind the scenes at the Netflix distribution center in Northborough, Massachusetts, and reveals just a bit of the service’s secrets for success. For our family, the key ingredient is you can order anime titles, even obscure ones, like Mushi-Shi, which I’ll be posting soon.

Made in China, Made in America
An article in The Boston Globe puts some good historical perspective on the adulterated and counterfeit products that China has been shipping. Apparently, we’ve been there and done that ourselves. Be sure to read the sidebar article on poisoned medicine. It reminds me of the big story in the news before 9/11/01. A pharmacist in Kansas City was diluting cancer medication.
The Pet Clark Mutual Admiration Society
Once again our friends over at the blog Petula Clark: Driven by Emotion have linked back here with words of praise. I was hoping to take a break, but now I’ve got to get back on the stick and get blogging some more! But seriously, thanks for the kind words, and for all of the great Pet music that you’re posting.
Purgatory Chasm Charm

Yesterday, we hiked the poor man’s Grand Canyon, Purgatory Chasm in Sutton, Massachusetts. That sure looks like me in that picture, but as far as I know it isn’t. I grabbed it from here. But I own a green cap, gray t-shirt, and green shorts just like those. Weird.
Purgatory Chasm is a fun and free excursion. But be careful! It can be dangerous. Stay on the blue trail and you’ll be through it, and back along the rim, in less than an hour.
