Holi!
So apparently today is Holi!
Do you know what Holi is? It's only the best holiday in any culture or religious tradition ever. Really. The BBC can tell you all about it:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/religion/religions/hinduism/holydays/holi/
And if you don't like to read, you can watch this video, although it features egregious bhang-drinking, scary mustaches and unseasonal touchyfeelyness:

Also, I don't know to what extent it is historically accurate, so you're on your own there.

About the BART/MUNI fire story the other day, a few comments:
1. Glad BG was safe and found the MUNI workers professional. AND check out his pictures. He's a content provider to local online print and television news!
2. Eat Cetera is a good place to get your morning bagel if you have to do it downtown. For downtown it's not very expensive, and they have 2 flavored cream cheeses, and they don't look at you funny if you want sprouts on your bagel. Also I think the owner/manager is Indian and his son works there. Good people (AFAIK). Oh, and if you don't get turned around coming out of BART, it's right by the exit.

In other news, I was at the Berkeley Public Library tutoring today and I found a copy of the Zumdahl intro Chemistry book! Ahh, good times. Couldn't find the picture of the glowing pickle, though. Maybe it's only in the advanced book. My student has gotten A's on two consecutive math quizzes since I began tutoring her!! Yay!
