It’s raining here! What am I gonna do?!?!

Earlier it was like a cow ****ing on a flat rock! Winter in the AV and The High Desert. Currently 47 and light rain here in Cal City. I was hoping to do the back yard weeds with Roundup and rake/shovel doggie doo today. Such fun plans ya know. Ah well, I will adapt. The [...]

Olympic Hockey

I have managed to get to watch a bit of the tournament so far. I did not get to see a single women’s game. The cable company we have here and the NBC Universal Fine Family of channels have managed to screw that up in a most magnificent manner. The best info and coverage I [...]

The Great Escape – Leaving AT&T for Verizon Wireless

This is the kind of story you don’t hear very often.  AT&T Wireless sent me a letter recently which told me that they really weren’t that happy having me as a customer after almost nine years.  Confused?  So was I at first.
What happened was that I was on one of their nationwide plans and more [...]

Cal City, Antelope Valley, Tehachipi Mountains and such

Here are a few from today.  After I dropped the Missus off in Palmdale, I stopped by the house to get my camera. The house was already on the card. The Tehachipi shot was from north of town. I took a short trip up to Ridgecrest and the Naval Air Weapons Center. The other two [...]

Random Stuff and the last one for awhile

Backyard to neighbour’s house. Lots of sky!

The top one I found doing some surfing. It was one of two bicentennial birds we had. The other one was more red.
I figured to put new ones of the granddaughters in as I am heading west later today. The Missus and I are going to Oceanside to see [...]

Announcement. Been thinking about this for awhile.

I have decided to do a narrative, perspective, reaction, feelings blog. It is about my cancer. I have started a blog at Blogger for this. It was easy for me to do. It will be where I can let the things, thoughts, concerns and such out. And throw in a few pictures that I will [...]

Have you no Shame?

This is the title of an article/posting that Jeff sent me. It originally appeared on Blackfive. Go and read the whole thing. It is easier for me that way. By the way, Blackfive should be on everyone’s favourites. No further discussion is required.
I sent Kath an email telling her that I would try and keep this [...]

Here comes Winter. Note to algore, it’s October

On the Accuweather as of 0630 Mountain Time, my Hometown, Havre, Montana was at 20 degrees with a “real feel” of 9. That would be wind chill, I suppose. Here in the Air Capital it is a balmy37 with a wind chill of 29.
So Al, is this the global warming manure you are trying to [...]

Dinner and perspective

Yesterday afternoon/evening, the Missus and I went to Red Lobster for dinner. It was a two fold celebration, of sorts. One: It was the last fling before the unemployment ends. And there is a bit of set aside due to her inheritance/savings.
Two: It was a real sit down meal after the surgery to remove the [...]

Last Post of the Day

Philosophy and inspiration from Jimmy Buffett:
LAST MANGO IN PARIS
Album: Last Mango in Paris
Song: Last Mango in Paris
I went down to Captain Tony’s to get out of the heat
When I heard a voice call out to me, “Son, come have a seat”
I had to search my memory as I looked into those eyes
Our lives change like [...]
