Here on the Dancing Bean Ranch, we have World Cup Fever. In honor of the best ever American team, we're offering a 5% discount to anyone who can name the player who scored the goal that put the USA into the second round. Add 5% more if you identify the minute of play in which it was scored.
What's this got to do with the pictured rose? Nothing, really. But I didn't have a photo of Landon Donovan (NOOO!!! I've given away the first answer) or a soccer ball. It's the first rose of the season, and I thought it was nice. Except, I just noticed it's upside down and staring at it is making me dizzy. You've been warned.



Recently, Bill and I were treated to the sight of the finest rainbow either of us had ever witnessed, arcing horizon to horizon over the Dancing Bean Ranch. A fainter rainbow haloed it.
