Both the seen and the unseen

Althouse writes a great series of posts on how we as humans often deal with what is seen, but neglect what is unseen.

• Things seen and unseen
• How Dan Quayle got into law school
• Rick Perry's admirable eschewal of anecdotal argument of the HPV vaccine
• "We've got better vision. We've got better ideas. We've got real plans. And we've got better hair."

Sunday Ten

I'm gonna try and start a new tradition as part of my sabbath and each week post ten things that I am thankful to God for. (Thanks for the inspiration, here and here.)

1. my brother (Happy Birthday!)
2. a working washing machine
3. getting a microwave (new) as a surprise on Teacher's Day
4. a good internet connection
5. a nearby Century Mart and McDonald's (American fast food is suddenly more desirable!)
6. time to transition before I begin teaching
7. high speed rail to Xi'an
8. wonderful people to spend last week with
9. a loving girlfriend
10. His daily grace

Megatron, come!

Wouldn't 'Megatron' be a fun name for a dog? Think of the power in saying, "Megatron, come!" "Megatron, sit!"

Don't use a racist dog

Another reason why Althouse is so funny.
