Man

I have to say that I hate the fact that everywhere we now go is more of the same old same old. Every major international airport on the planet is like every other major international airport: forcing passengers to suffer through the duty free malls of the same pile of mess from the same old transglobal corporations. If I’m forced… Continue reading

My Favorite Yuletide Gift

Yes, I got so many amazing holiday gifts that were nicely wrapped under our Solstice tree. [I’m being an Xmas warmonger this year just to piss off FAUX News.] One of my favorites is an odd thing, an odd contraption indeed! It’s a Penguin. It’s made by SodaStream and creates your own carbonated drinks at a tiny fraction of the… Continue reading

We Survived the Storms!

I’m not too sure how much rain fell over the past 3 days, but it seemed to be of Biblical proportions. One of our friends posted that his dog, Madison, was upset she wasn’t going to be allowed on the arc because she had been neutered. When the rain is pounding, you can hardly hear anything in the house but… Continue reading

Goats On Roof Old Country Market

Located on Vancouver Island in Coombs, BC, Canada, goats live atop the grassy roof until winter approaches, when they are taken down. Goat feces is one thing, but the whole goat sliding off of the icy roof onto the unsuspecting customers below is a entirely different matter. The old country market is not just a great tourist trap, it’s an… Continue reading

Piano Delivery Truck Blocks Road for Hours

I was very excited to finally be getting the piano on which I practiced as a child. It left Florida at the beginning of October and has been winging its way to Sausalito ever since. It was delivered today. Well, maybe, kinda, sorta. I stressed to the company that our street was exceedingly steep. I told them about how the… Continue reading

Can I Lease My Rooftop?

So, this is going to be really, really annoying! Apparently a startup in San Francisco is selling your daily routes to work and back to companies willing to post advertisements on your car. The car owner gets paid about $100 per month to have the advertisements stuck to their car. “This car runs on advertising.” The daily route you take… Continue reading

A Blast from My Childhood Past

I saw these at our neighborhood grocery store, Mollie Stone, this evening. I had to buy one for old times sake. They even still have the cloth string across the top! We would walk barefoot up to Harlie’s Meat Market to buy goodies. My sister and I especially loved the snow cones! I think they were a nickel back in… Continue reading

@TomLowe – Stunning Work! Bravo!!

I’ve blogged a a couple of times (here and here) about Tom Lowe’s time-lapse project. He worked on it for some time. Well, it’s finished. It’s beyond what I had imagined it would be. I just watched it while I was exercising. If you want to see places in the western US and our galaxy in ways you have never… Continue reading

The Good Ole Days Were “Fabulous”

In the past month I’ve come across two paper products that harken back to the styles of my childhood. Gotta love ’em. I especially liked the drink napkins that mix the old with the new. I don’t know what the names for these visual styles are, but if you do, please share! In the meantime, I wait patiently for ladies’… Continue reading
