You probably know that California is in the midst of a terrible drought and Texas is pretty much under water. What to do? Well, remember that pipeline the oil companies wanted to put across the country to carry oil from Canada all the way down to Texas (because what could possible go wrong with that)?…
Here is the great mystery: How can a program that needs updating as much as Adobe Flash continue to perform so badly? WTF, y’all? Just fucking FIX IT!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo tired of my FaceBook games doing a lock and crash because of Flash Shockwave. And if this program is soooooo…
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times … okay, it was just the best of times. A dear friend from Los Angeles was up in my area and called to get together. As if this wasn’t fun enough, he was accompanied by his dear friend from Australia! Someone I…
Cousin Alice and this fat old lady! My birthday happened. It was a good day. I was so touched by all the greetings and good wishes by all of my friends and family. At my (advanced) age, birthdays are not really about receiving gifts. But my friends Storm and Kristopher got me a Kindle book…

(The neighbor’s house) The place that’s kitty-corner from our little house just sold after 1 weekend of open house. They were asking $425,000, and I’m guessing by how quick it sold, they got their asking price. Holy crap. Our place is the exact same layout. The house (like ours) is 875 square feet (not counting…
