Heaven or Las Vegas?
I disagree with the Cocteau Twins. This place is both. Now if the iPhone 4 could make me 20 pounds smaller, I’d buy it in a heartbeat since there are three Apple Stores within 10 miles of our vacation lair.

Buzzards tidying up the local road kill
Watching for cars before it gets another helping. Some poor turtle got run over and became a meal for the buzzards (or maybe vultures) of Central Texas. When it began I’m not sure but I’m sure one of the many … Continue reading

Post Hurricane Alex weather
Not a bad amount of rain last week. It certainly led to us having a relatively mild Fourth of July weekend and we still haven’t cracked 40 C/100 F yet. You guys who live further up North don’t know what … Continue reading

Spotted along the trail at work
Instead of our traditional staff meeting yesterday, we had permission to take the hour allocated to go outside, enjoy the weather. Most people take a lap around some pool created by the street drains from the adjacent neighborhood. While we … Continue reading

Cool picture of my Sunday with Moxie & Kate
The attractive young lady with hair is my friend, fellow Leo and former barista Kate. I haven’t been able to hang out with her for some time, namely the two concerts she hadn’t been able to swing. What can she … Continue reading

At least it wasn’t from the Unabomber
I remember reading or hearing a factoid about the USPS only losing one out of every 600,000 pieces of mail. It’s better (or worse, depending upon your viewpoint) than being hit by lightning (2 million to one against) so it … Continue reading

A videogame to guarantee snickering
Caught this gem at Target. If it didn’t have the horrible, double entendre title, it would only be remembered for being a dull game. I only wish I could find the ad for these shoes called Steamers, something I thought … Continue reading

Thanksgiving dinner rocked
This year’s Thanksgiving meal was a nice, low-key affair. Since Somara has had to work on Black Friday for years, we tend to stay put and avoid the insanity of traveling during the worst possible time in America. Somara’s parents … Continue reading

Sonic Screwdriver
Yeah, I know what you’re thinking…it resembles a lightsabre. I myself didn’t know what the Doctor’s omni-tool looked like either. To me the tool was always a cop-out for the writers to get the characters out of trouble, similar to … Continue reading

Jinkies! There’s a ghost haunting Cedar Park!
The Stars had a Halloween costume contest as part of last night’s intermission fun. Although this couple as Velma and Daphne didn’t win, judging by the crowd’s reaction, I would say they easily came in second. Humor usually loses out … Continue reading

Happy Halloween from Merlin
The first creature to greet me at the door today when I walked into White Rock Vet for Molly’s annual exam was this funny dog named Merlin. His owner says he does enjoy wearing a costume because like some people, … Continue reading

Plain language law going overboard?
Every Saturday, Somara and I get to have lunch together at work since our schedules during the rest of the week don’t line up. Ever since I moved over to my new gig, she picks it up and meets me … Continue reading

“How many pairs of Converse (Chucks) do you have?!?!” is a frequent question I am asked at work, online, Starbucks, parties, etc. Currently, the answer is 49. Thanks to the Converse store at the outlet mall in Round Rock, it … Continue reading

Yo Gabba Gabba shoes!
My belated birthday present from Somara! She completed the art work around the previous Wednesday or Friday but I had to wait for the paint to dry. Then I wore them to breakfast because several young people would recognize the … Continue reading
Insert dirty joke here
Then again, my friend Jeremy who’s nuts about baseball would snicker at this because it does sound like an over-the-counter brand of steroids to help faltering DHs.
