Okay, I just updated the wish lists, so for those of you who only get these posts by mail, you’d better double check, ’cause I just took some things off.

2008 Wish List
We each have Amazon wish lists, so check those out.
For Joanna:
An electric pressure cooker
A mushroom brush
Some BDU pants, size Large-Regular or inseam 29 1/2 to 32 in., waist 35 to 39. I prefer solid black, but any color or design would be fine.
A Camelbak
Thick cotton boot socks
Boots
A nice desk chair
A feather duster
A bottle brush
A glass water purifier (our Brita is plastic)
A bootpull
For Berck:
An EdgePro knife sharpening set
Settlers of Catan board game
For both:
Amazingly, our Amazon wedding registry is still active. As is the one at Cooking.com (Berck is especially keen about knives).
Various canned pumpkin and apple products
Elbow Squid
An oil exploration camera caught something amazing on film deep in the Gulf of Mexico.
They’re actually doing it!
The auto execs are actually driving from Detroit to D.C. in hybrids for their latest plea for money:
Ford CEO Alan Mulally left for the capital Tuesday afternoon in a small Ford Escape sport utility vehicle, which runs on gas and electricity. Rick Wagoner of GM departs Wednesday in a hybrid Chevrolet Malibu. Chrysler LLC said its chief executive, Robert Nardelli, would leave Tuesday night, driving a hybrid Dodge Durango or Chrysler Aspen SUV.
Unfortunately, they’ll probably get the cash this way. Now along with $1,525 for health care per car produced (more than the steel in a GM vehicle’s price tag), we can have some taxpayer money as well.
Get yourself a Honda.
