My long standing Father’s day dinner tradition is Sushi. The current winner, by far, for Sushi in Metrowest Massachussets is Oga’son the west-bound side of Route 9, in Natick. The food is just fabulous. I get the Nigiri Special Deluxe. It’s a beautifully presented meal.

I should mention that the Miso soup is just wonderful too. The salad is Japanese restaurant salad, which is to say, about 3 ounces of lettuce with a little cucumber, onion and one grape tomato with a ginger dressing.

Anyway, if you are near Natick and a fan of Sushi, visit Oga’s. If you can expense it, so much the better.

I visit the main page of Wikipedia most work days looking for what they have to say about events in history for that day. Yesterday, Friday, June 16th they had an entry on Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space.

It got me thinking about other people and beings sent to space. The russians launched a dog. Pretty naturally the thought of monkeys in space came next. Sadly, according to Wikipedia, Albert, the first monkey in space on a V2 rocket in 1948, died from suffocation. Similar fates awaited a handful more. It wasn’t a big stretch to think, maybe, just maybe it’s time to return to monkeys in space:

OK. Just no justice:

From News of the Weird

Wheelchair-confined Richard Paey committed almost exactly the same violations of Florida prescription drug laws that radio personality Rush Limbaugh did, with a different result: Limbaugh’s sentence, in May, was addiction treatment, and Paey’s, in 2004, was 25 years in prison. Both illegally possessed large quantities of painkillers for personal use, which Paey defiantly argued was (and will be) necessary to relieve nearly constant pain from unsuccessful spinal surgeries after an auto accident, but which Limbaugh admitted was simply the result of addiction. (In fact, if Limbaugh complies with his plea bargain, his conviction will be erased.) Paey’s sentence now rests with a state Court of Appeal. [Tampa Tribune, 2-8-06]

Is there more to say about this? Sure. Things like…So? New?
