Vacation to SFO: Day 2

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

Waking up on Saturday morning in San Francisco, we had hoped that the weather would have turned for the better, even if the weatherman says otherwise.

Accidents Times Two

Wednesday, March 15th, 2006

Yesterday morning I made a trip to South Seattle to pickup up my brand new phone (i-mate SP5). On my way to work I decided to take I-90/I-405/SR-520 to Microsoft since I was closer to I-90 than I was to 520. All was well, until we get to the first tunnel… an accident in my [...]

Fence ‘em In!

Saturday, March 11th, 2006

Um, I don’t know what to say… well, maybe that “dildo wielding lesbionics” are ruling an un-fenced jail in a town very near to where I grew up. *sigh* At least they came to a compromise to put up a fence around the entire state.
