Next week Greece is likely to pass a new austerity package. It will then get the next €12 billion ($17 billion) of its first €110 billion bail-out, which it needs by mid-July. Assuming the Europeans agree on a face-saving Read the full article from The Economist on the Starbucks Digital Network (in partnership with Yahoo!).

Really Weird Weather! Fast Approaching Storm (06-21-2011, Clarksburg, WV)

When we saw this oncoming storm, we shut down work on preparing our fireworks tent in the Sam’s Club parking lot in Clarksburg, WV on 06-21-2011. The leading edge of the storm was comprised of some of the fastest moving clouds I’ve ever seen, with some of the weirdest claws (down-reaching fingers) I’ve ever seen. The heavy rain and strong wind that soon came well justified us shutting down the work.

Court: She goes to public school

Our thoughts after reading this article on OneNewsNow.com:

Both the lower and higher courts got it wrong. The mother’s right to choose a religious school did not offend any religious views of the father, but the father’s choice of a public school did indeed offend the religious convictions of the mother. The court’s decision to overrule the mother’s right in favor of the father’s right tramples religious liberty. A ruling the other way would not have.
