  • Another odd Google Spot on the Map

    3rd try and I chanced on to an odd one. A place where only on this one arrow is there snow. It dead ends here, the car could go no further. But if you turn to go back down the road away from the snow, you enter a world without snow. Only at the one…

Click the next arrow on the street and you’ll be there. View Larger Map And here’s the other entrance. View…

  • Party

    Party

    Just a record of H.o.p. having a blast at a party Friday night. Chowing down on chips here before he really got going. One thing he isn’t is shy. He loves parties. Loves entertaining people with stories and jokes. Loves people. (One thing I like about Hipstamatic and Lo-mob is a feel fairly comfortable with…

  • April Fool

    April Fool

    I got the treatment from my 12-y-o today. I was up all night writing. I have allergies. I woke up in a daze, absolutely unable to function. And my son was all over me from the moment I opened my eyes, hugging me, all grins, wouldn’t stop hugging me as he did his manipulative best…

  • I Was Wrong

  • The Wedding Shower

    The Wedding Shower

    The wedding shower of my niece held at my youngest sister’s. I did the best I could to chronicle some of it with my iphone. All photos have post processing. After the shower Light box link. Light box link. Light box link. Light box link. Flowers and Mints Light box link. The Bride to Be…

  • Leigh Bielenberg

    The last few days I’ve been getting a fair number of hits on my site for “Leigh Bielenberg”, which will have had to do with her death, most landing on the page I put up to do with Leigh’s talk before the Atlanta City Council in August of 2008. On Monday, Leigh died after another…

    Quick, what’s the first thought that springs to your mind when you view this image

    Boingboing today pointed to this film, “Century 21 Calling…”, dated 1964 but courtesy of the 1962 World’s Fair in Seattle. Toward the beginning of the film, the camera following a teenage couple gleefully riding the monorail, we get this rear shot of them. What first comes to your mind? Me? I thought, ah, so here…

  • Facetious Personhood

    Facetious Personhood

    One of the better comments I’ve seen on yesterday’s diabolical Supreme Court ruling is over at Americablog. Ode to a Frog And as she ran from the room screaming and crying he was heard to say……. “Was it something I did, was it something I said???”

  • Eventually, the DSi and the wifi made friends

    Eventually, the DSi and the wifi made friends

    The equivalent of putting together any of the Legos builds H.o.p. was so fascinated by when he was younger, this Christmas Eve was spent toiling over connecting his DSi to the wifi so he could procure the coveted Rayman game. First efforts were failures which led to me searching the internet on the issue and…
