This report Natural Hazards Observer came out last November, and describes the challenges everyone in New Orleans and Louisiana are facing now. Their estimation of 40 to 60 thousand dead fortunately was off (those numbers were assuming a direct hit). The total cost of this will be amazing. It could very well be that [...]
I was talking to Steve today, in the late morning. Turns out, he was about to leave for the Western Sierra to hike over to Mammoth, to be in Mammoth over Labor Day.
But he didn’t have a ride.
Fortunately, he wasn’t asking if I could take him up today (6 hours one way). But he did [...]
SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Mexico — Mexican politicians face challenge in U.S.
I understand the ramifications of having imigrants in this country, is that they can vote in their country of origin. Having the politicians from other countries come here to campaign though…. strikes a bad cord with me.
I have a few other thoughts, but [...]
Ok, 4:20am wake up call this morning. It was the usual database error. I ran the repair that Access suggested using.
That has worked well in the past here, but it doesn’t *solve* the problem. Just starts everything, which is what we want.

Anybody interested in going to the Dodger game on Satruday Septemeber 10th? It’s a 1:10pm game.
Ben will be in town, and wanted to take Caltech Girl and her husband to the Dodger game. Sandro will probably be in as well. I’m willing to organize this, so if anybody else wants in, let me know!
After the [...]

I’ll be posting more pictures, and probably a full thumbnail page about the trip later this week. I [...]
Here’s a question for all of you concerned with my dietery habits:
What does Bill eat at Wahoos? Besides having a Dr. Pepper to drink.
No burgers, no fried shrimp….
Take your best guess, and tonight or tomorrow, I will let you know the answer!
National Weather Service – NWS San Francisco/Monterey Bay Area
Here’s the government’s report for the waters outside of San Francisco. 15 to 20 knot winds in the afternoon tomorrow, and 3 to 5 foot swells at 7 seconds from the northwest. Not too bad, but it will be interesting.
The traditional “worry” point is when the size [...]
Spam is back on my website… My spamminator program is catching it all right now. But since I’m going up the Bay Area in a few hours, and don’t know if I will be checking my email, I’m turning off email notifications for the spam. So if you think you have left a commment, and [...]
Just incase you haven’t seen it yet, check out TVIV Wiki. It’s for all TV shows, but it’s pretty new and could use some help and love. I know you are kind and helpful readers there who are more than willing to give a little bit of effort and time to fill in info on [...]
