Picture A Day – 19 January 2010

When I said I was going to be working overtime, I wasn’t kidding.  It was two hours yesterday and four hours today.  I expect to work another four hours overtime on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday as well.  I might even be in on the weekend.  This isn’t a bad thing in so many ways, but [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 3 January 2010

Three days into the year and I swear I feel like I’ve got a bit of a hangover even though I didn’t drink a drop.  I put it down to something like pollen in the air or the fake coconut smell they put in the air conditioning at the establishment at which I dined with [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 24 December 2009 – I’ll Be Home For Christmas!

Well, I finally made it   Actually, I got here about 1900 local time or 1800 Pacific.  It only took about 5 hours to get here, but I learned a bit more than that on the trip.  Thanks to the computer brain in my HHR, I was able to learn that I averaged 64 [...]

Picture A Day – 25 November 2009

I’d forgotten that I’d taken this picture when I posted last night
I figured it was about time to finally change the air filter in my HHR   I bought this car back in May of 2008 and it’s been out in the desert enough that I figured it couldn’t hurt.
There’s usually a [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 10 October 2009

Work went pretty darn well today.  I’m feeling quite a bit better today, though I can’t quite figure out why.  Sleep’s been a problem off and on and last night was no different.  Maybe it was the caffeine, but I seemed to be doing rather well and the calls weren’t all that bad
Fall [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 22 October 2009 – Open Desert, Sunset, and “Recoil Therapy™”

Work today… what can I say about it?  Well, if you read my previous post, you probably know about how it went and what I had planned for the short duration of leftover daylight remaining after I left.  “Recoil Therapy™” is what I call it.
“Recoil Therapy™” involves more than just the wonderful, first hand (or [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 15 October 2009

Not much to report today.  0800 – 1830 is a long time on the phones when you’re overwhelmed.
That said, at least I managed to get out to Sonic for lunch and to take a few pictures in my 30 minutes of freedom

El Pollo Loco is right next to Sonic and I just happened [...]

Insurance Shopping…

It looks like I get to have almost as much fun as one can have while undergoing quadruple root canals without anesthesia – I get to go insurance shopping
I’m usually a pretty easy going guy.  I’ll deal with a little rate increase here or a small fee there and just not worry about [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 20 August 2009

The National Weather Service issued an excessive heat warning today.  Really?  You mean you didn’t think we could figure that out on our own?
Nothing really all that surprising or spectacular – that’s scheduled for Saturday

Just driving up Lake Mead towards Cimarron here – looking at the mountains, blue sky, puffy clouds and one [...]

Picture(s) A Day – 18 July 2009

So, how’s the weather today in Las Vegas?  Well, it’s hot, it’s wet (by our standards), and I’m thankful for air conditioning.
They weren’t here yet, but you can see the thunderstorms in this picture.  It’s official – the monsoon season is here.
As you can see, when it rains here it usually pours.  Lots of runoff [...]
