My mom said he's from North Korea, which is also kind of weird, because I've met him and he looks 40ish or so, too young to have come south before the war like my mom did.  I would think NK would be especially uptight about granting legal entry to folks who had jumped the border and fled the workers' paradise.

That part does seem odd.  However, North Korea is supposedly open (as of 2010) to US citizens year round on the guided tours.  The State Department still thinks it's a horrible idea for a US citizen to go to North Korea, though (and suggests you let the Swedes know you'll be going, first):

Upper Austria had state elections:


ÖVP   36,3 %   (-10,5  %)
SPÖ   18,3 %   (-6,6  %)
FPÖ   30,4 %   (+15,1  %)
GRÜNE   10,4 %   (+1,2  %)
Other   4,6 %

FPÖ   30,4 %   (+15,1  %)

Well isn't that special?

FPÖ   30,4 %   (+15,1  %)

They won 26.9% in the Austrian federal election of 1999, so it's not that much better than their historical results. Actually it's rather paltry compared to the 99,73% that their spiritual successor got back in the day.

I can't see the moon from my window. Is this super blood moon worth going out in the cold for?

I wasn't impressed with it.

Looks like taking a bite from a cookie.

Well between pouring rain and no clear sky and the fact that still have two hours of daylight, means no lunar eclipse pics for me.
