660. not a whole lot to post today - did snap this picture this morning as Buckeye Street had its name changed overnight.

661. Some interesting thoughts about college basketball and the NBA from Orlando Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy:  "I don't understand," Van Gundy says. "Why can't a kid go to NBA right out of high school if that's what he wants to do? If a kid is 18 years old, why doesn't he have the right to go earn a living? If he can get a job at Publix, why can't he get a job in our league if he's good enough? We're forcing guys to go to college who have absolutely no interest or intention of getting a degree."
Van Gundy then adds sarcastically: "I don't know — I have this antiquated notion that college should be about education."

662. For those of you who really love bacon -      A bacon-themed coffin sounds like a killer gift for some fat-loving foodies, but it smells like a hoax to at least one professional prankster.  A Seattle-based company that specializes in various bacon-themed products, such as bacon mayonnaise, bacon soda and even bacon lubricant has just added a bacon coffin to its list of products.  The allegedly genuine bacon casket sells for $2,999.99 and is supposedly made of 18-gauge gasketed steel with "a premium Bacon Exterior/Interior, and includes a Memorial and Record Tube, Adjustable Bed and Mattress and Stationary and Swingbar handles."
