OMG did you hear the latest baby mammoth news? I think it’s a week old, but I just got around to reading about it the same place everyone reads the New Yorker…on the can:

Mary, again, you need to subscribe to my uncle’s magazine…

@1, not everyone reads the New Yorker “on the can.”
I have a special room with stained-glass windows, indirect lighting, wind chimes under the eaves, a small burbling fountain in the corner, and a lovely Persian carpet (with a hole in the middle and a 300-foot drop to the cliffs below).
I used that SMBC comic last night on my step-daughter, actually.
@3, that sounds just lovely, though when a gale blows up I’d imagine things get to flapping in the wind, magazine pages and such…
Updrafts can certainly be a problem, though a glance at the falcon most often gives me adequate warning. Pages are usually glued together as a result of a particularly rousing George Packer article or somesuch.
That dinosaur model is wicked sweet!
Speaking of Jurassic Park, I rode through those gates (on Kauai, on the hike to Blue Hole) over New Years. One of the few movie location type things (even though it’s pretty damn remote, 3 miles in on a 4×4-only access road) I’ve ever legitimately fanned out on. It’s all overgrown now, so it’s hard not to feel like you’re in some shitty sequel when you’re there.
