Tried the new Sugarfree LifeSavers Sorbets yesterday - a little too much Aspartame aftertaste for me, but not horrible. Also tried some Trident Strawberry Fusion Sugarless sweet & sour gum - very tasty (both the sweet and the sour ones).

Lucky Jared received five shots yesterday, but wasn't the least bit happy about them: MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella), Varicella (Chicken Pox), DTaP (Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis), and Hib (H. Influenzae, type B). Ouch.

Found a nice, concise article on Mondrian at Wikipedia. I tried painting my first Mondrian knockoff a few weeks ago with watercolors (!). Comical indeed.   =)

The English word 'pogonip' (from the Shoshone pakenappeh) seems to be a term that most people aren't familiar with, even locals (even though they've experienced it). It's important to note that the term 'pogonip' actually has two distinct meanings. The first is a frozen icy fog, and the second is Hoarfrost or Rime Icing. Pogonip can, and does, mean either: the ice fog, itself, or the resulting hoarfrost (or Rime) we see on trees after the fog clears. In local media and books, both meanings are routinely used, as seen here:

Nevada Appeal
(main article uses it to mean fog, while sidebar uses it to mean hoarfrost)

Nevada Proud
(photo captions use pogonip on photos of both fog and hoarfrost)

California BLM
(same; fog-induced frost defined as 'hoarfrost')

Mike Wishart
(pogonip defined as frost on trees, but not on the ground; no mention of fog)

Pogonip Magic
(same; in a book entitled "Pogonip Magic" by local authors)
