My granddad has a theory that when men begin to lose hair on their head they compensate by growing facial hair. I have always wondered about this theory. Now that I am begining to lose my hair I have a tremendous urge to grow a beard.
Hurricane Ike ripped through Houston causing quite a bit of damage. This photo was taken on Memorial at I-10. I am sure the owner parked the Jag next to the wall thinking it would be safer… makes sense to me, but unfortunately his car was the only car in the parking lot that received any damage.

The precious, little eggling looks and feels like an extra large egg, but crack its top and discover a garden ready to grow! Cultivation is easy — seeds are already sown into eggling’s fortified peat mixture, just crack it’s top (by tapping on it with a spoon), water and place in bright spot. Plants grow for up to five months in the eggling, after which it can be planted directly in soil.
Extremely popular in Japan where it is hand made of white porous ceramic, the eggling (54mm x 47.5mm) comes with a terra cotta tray and an extra seed pack to insure success. Ten egglings are available: three herbs (basil, mint and thyme), three flowers (chrysanthemum, phlox, petunia), and four special edition varieties (lavender, cactus, red pepper, and wild strawberry). In its handsome gift box, the eggling makes a clever and delightful gift for the chef, gardener or anyone who loves the cute and curious.
