Trees, please

[badseed1980.livejournal.com]

I only bought a Christmas tree for the first time last year. I got it from the folks over by the Minuteman Trail, near Cameron Ave. It looked nice when I got it, but it seemed to dry out really quickly (like, the branches dried up, it wasn't just the needles falling) and it never drank much water, even though we got a slice cut off the bottom before we put it up. Does anyone know of a place around here that has typically had very good quality, fresh trees? Where would you all recommend I go this year?

Are you seeing red? Balloons, that is...

Here's an interesting contest by DARPA, celebrating the internet. Network with folks you know around the US, and see how many of the red DARPA weather balloons your network can find. The MIT team is sharing the prize, while doing an experiment, too. It's just started today, and probably won't take more than a day or two to finish, so check it out asap, if you're curious.

It might be fun...

physical therapist

Can anyone recommend a good physical therapist? Local is best, but anyone T-accessible would be fine. Preferably it would be somebody who has experience with arm and hand injuries (which I assume is going to be most physical therapists).
