Congratulations to everyone who entered the Cow Caption Contest. What an exceptionally witty bunch you are. The winner, who made me laugh out loud, is Ninja Shoetrees Pop, closely followed by Andrew C. See their entries below.

First prize is a scenic train ride with the Girl... Nah, not really.

Apart from a very enjoyable lunch with my friend Exile #2 it has been an unremarkable day, so I'll write a few words in praise of National Public Radio.
This is the nearest thing here to BBC Radio 4, except that it is run on a budget of about a dollar a day. It consists of part local, part national and part international broadcasts. So, depending on what time you happen to tune in you might get the regular Albany phone-in on brewing (seriously - every Friday afternoon, all your brewing dilemmas resolved by a panel of experts); or the inimitable Garrison Keillor's 'Writer's Almanac'; or, at three in the morning (always my favourite hour), the BBC World Service. It is unashamedly liberal, educated broadcasting and it shines like a beacon of intelligence through the airwaves of dross (well, not so much the brewing phone-in, though it is surprisingly entertaining).


It was a grim discovery, the Americans had a cow that did Coca-cola on one side and Pepsi on the udder. Ninja
