As if the Ohio State Fair and the Dublin Irish Festival aren't enough to do this weekend......

"After the Invasion of the Giant Termites," a movie starring Columbus Ohio, shown free in Columbus Ohio. "After the Invasion" is a comic look at a dysfunctional family, who come together over a Memorial Day Weekend after termites have destroyed the city, (Columbus)  Gleisser (the director) said" according to This Week Newspapers.

It is based on a movie 'Them" about atomic ants destroying LA ,  "Our film is a sequel of sorts to 'Them,' except it's 30 years later and it's set in Columbus and not Los Angeles and it involves termites and not ants," the director said!

An Irish Blessing for Halloween!

Is it any wonder with a name like Jack O' Lantern that it is the Irish who gave us the carved pumpkin?  O'Brien, O'Shaunessy, O'Doyle, O'Lantern.... O' means "of"  as in son of.  "Mc" also means of as in "son of."  Son of Cabe?   Caba is hood, cape  or cloak?  I believe they were soldiers, mercenaries. 

I have read in Ireland they carved gourds, squashes and turnips for Halloween. 

Click on the Jack O' Lantern and use your mouse to carve a face.  Then click on Done!
