Tuesday morning roundup

The kids are not all right, but they will be.

Archeologists found a 6,000-year old wine-making operation in Armenia.

Here's a visual aid to demonstrate that healthy food is not more expensive than fast food.

This so perfectly captures my recent shopping spree:
Every year brings the same hopes and the same mistakes. Seeds seem so inexpensive — only $3.95 a packet — and soon your subtotal is as much as a round trip to Reykjavik. Somehow you forget how much arable land you have and the length of your growing season and — most critical of all — the labor you will actually expend in the garden.


I saw "Marcus; or the Secret of Sweet" on Friday and really enjoyed it.
