quickly tonight

Tuesday, November 30th, 2004

Quickly tonight:
Work, then buying an electric blanket (screw you Sears for charging 250, while JC Penny’s had it list at 170, and then 40% more off).
Then to the Scout meeting, and I stayed till 9:15 chatting and talking and planning. This Saturday, if I remember, is the Scout University activity. Most of what I [...]

City of Industry, or City of Strippers?

Monday, November 29th, 2004

Quick blurb from KCAL 9: City of Industry has a 1 strip club for every 130 residents. So they want to shut some down….. you can make your own ideas here.

Medical Rights, or States Rights? City taxes too

Monday, November 29th, 2004

The big news of the day are the arguments in front of the Supreme Court regarding medical marijuana. Proponents of it are using the California law on medical use to try and overturn decades long federal law. The interesting approach this time for me is the states right argument: That marijuana is not an issue [...]

Car Stereos

I’ve been looking at replacing the stock AM/FM radio in my truck since the day I bought it. My main consideration is to allow my iPod to play clearly into the 4 built in speakers. Currently, I do this with a Belkin FM broadcast unit, but it has the disadvantage of being interrupted by fully [...]

Pictures from today’s skiing events

I got up this morning to cold air, and frosted windows. The condensate inside my room had frozen to the glass, but inside the room itself, it was warm enough. Barely. But lighting the heater did the trick, and the cabin warmed up nicely. We went out, did a few hours [...]

The snow is still falling, and while not heavy, it is consistent. The snow plows finally started running, and while not up to the quality level of Mr. Plow or the Plow King, the city provided services do keep things orderly. Except now, there is a large berm built up in our driveway, that I [...]

Snowing

Saturday, November 27th, 2004

It is snowing outside now, and the wind is blowing. Neither is heavy, as I can not hear the wind inside here, but one look out the window, and you can see both. A perfectly charming Saturday morning here in the mountains. The road is covered in snow, and while I have chains, I think [...]

skiing fun

Friday, November 26th, 2004

Things have not gone as planned, but that is acceptable. Ed didn’t want to leave at 4am yesterday, owing to the fact that he has been up early much of this week. I did not ask him how early, or how that portends to me, since I know I am up early every day, even [...]
