Last Friday we took a day trip and met up with friends Larry and Robin in San Francisco. The main reason? To see the Chihuly Exhibit at the DeYoung Museum. Dale Chihuly is the most famous glass artist working today and for good reason. Check out his wikipedia page to learn more about him or [...]
Stupidity. It’s everywhere! As the chart shows, this is an especially stupid time. Code Red! As part of a continuing effort, I will share some of the stupidest things I run across. Today we have some dense people in our second-favorite city, Seattle, courtesy of Seattle Metblogs. “Suspects Kyle Burress and Allen Pierce broke into Fred Meyer in Monroe, [...]
This is the first in a series of real, true signs that I found funny and interesting. The sign at right is cut off a little at the top. What it said was “Reptiles For Your Birthday”. Yep. It’s a company that will bring reptiles to your birthday party. Uh, ok…. Read it for yourself. Four [...]

You can also read an exciting written summary of what we did, which will amaze and astound you. And the [...]
Yesterday Petra B was at an art class so I decided to start getting caught up on my Mixmasters CD reviews. Or get ONE done at least! (If you don’t know what Miximasters is, click here for the old web site then click on Mixmasters along the bottom of the page). And yes, I did [...]
Help! We’re up to our #$%!@ in Rolling Stone magazines! As you can see from the picture, even Prince can’t believe it! Actually we have put an ad on Craigslist. We have over 600 issues for sale (as a lot, no single issues). And we’re throwing in 20 or so Spin magazines too. The catch? You [...]

We went to the Sacramento Rivercats baseball game last night. It was about 100 degrees (ouch!) when we got there and really smoky from all the fires burning up and down California. Ugh. Cough. Luckily, the sweat dried eventually and the temperature cooled into the 80s by the time the game ended nearly three hours [...]
It’s Nineteen Minutes by best-selling author Jodi Picoult. Apparently this is her 14th novel, but it’s the first one I have read by her. It won’t be the last. This was a really interesting look at a tragic event (a school mass-shooting), but more importantly about how it affected the lives of the people involved, [...]
Hi, nice of you to stop by! But you know, this whole blogging thing is more fun when you leave me a comment, telling me you’ve read a post or agree or disagree with me. Or whatever else you want to contribute. Now, I know what you are thinking. HOW? Easy. So easy. So many [...]
Last weekend there was a record swap at Bricka Bracka in midtown Sacramento. There were maybe a dozen or so local folks selling music. It was mostly vinyl, but there were some CDs and some other collectibles too. We found a few items, as we always seem to do. They’re not in our list of [...]
