First toast, and now, finally, diapers as a sign from God

In May, Katy Vasquez, a devout resident of Winter Park, FLA, posted on Facebook (and told Huffington Post in an interview) that she had just seen a "sign from God"--a cross--as a smudge in her infant's soiled diaper. "I prayed to God for a sign that everything would be okay," she gushed to the reporter. "It might not be the prettiest sign, but he put it where he knew I'd see it."

Ann Coulter: I'm A Grateful Dead Fan For Life

By Jack Brummet, Grateful Dead Ed.

Is this a mindf***er or what?  Ann Coulter is a serious DeadHead.  Read her full piece in Billboard here.  Among other observations, she names some of her favorite songs:

“Tennessee Jed, Althea, Stagger Lee, Eyes of the World, Loose Lucy, Franklin's Tower, Deal, Sugar Magnolia, Unbroken Chain, Cassidy, Pride of Cucamonga, Uncle John's Band, Ripple, Casey Jones, I Will Take You Home, Passenger, Mississippi Half-Step, Good Lovin' and of course, the famous Mickey Hart rap version of Fire on the Mountain. It breaks my heart that the band never played Pride of Cucamonga in concert.”

Methow Headwaters Music Festival

By Jack Brummet, Travel Ed.

We went to an amazing celebration today [July 2nd, north of Twisp] for the Methow Headwaters group fighting the folks who want to build the Flagg Mountain open copper pit at the top of the watershed. It was brimming with small town love and fellowship. 

There were BBQ roasted pigs, free beer from the local breweries in Winthrop and Twisp, non-stop bands and solo acts. We all brought side dishes and a few hundred of us had a gas. It was wonderful and inspirational.  Not just for the cause, but for the strong and warm small town vibe.
