First of June Weekend Links

These are late because we were finishing up planting, but I did come across some interesting stuff:

Physicists Prove Surprising Rule of Threes - Wired

100-Year-Old Negatives Discovered in Block of Ice in Antarctica - My Modern Met (h/t Kaye)

7 Million People Earn America's Other Minimum Wage: $23,660 - Wall Street Journal.  That's the least somebody can make and be legally allowed to be on salary and exempt from overtime.  It was lowered to that under the Bush administration, and Obama recently proposed increasing that amount.

Fire on the Mountain - The Atlantic. On the Yarnell fire.  See more here.

How the VA developed its culture of coverups - Washington Post

Climate Change Meets Kitchen Table as Issue Gets Personal - Bloomberg
