Since news and social media is so obsessed with the presidential election, if you don't know who's running on your local ballot, you can look them up here. The League of Woman Voters also sends every candidate in every …
After spending all yesterday morning cleaning up even more of the Halloween party (this time taking down and untangling the lights) e:terry and I went for a bike ride. We came across the Campus Wheelworks "Dominator" cy…
I had a Couchsurfing.org profile from a long time ago but I only just recently filled it out. I did a few weeks ago, and got a request last week for a couchsurfing on Thursday and Friday night. So the first night we hos…
Do you ever have simpathy for the centipedes your house? (I know you don't e:mike) I caught this one in the yellow room and felt bad as he kept trying to squiggle his butt up the container. I avoid killing them and usua…
After the hike I went shopping at Price Rite and the co-op for 2 hours. And then e:terry and I began our cooking marathon. Terry made potato goat cheese galettes e:60460, and I made a double batch of chana masala. It al…
While e:paul went down to East Aurora with e:libertad and e:mike, e:terry and I rode bikes out to Reinstein woods. Despite it being way out in the burbs, in Cheektowaga, it's really easy to ride there. Just go down Will…
Like e:mike I took time to get rid of old junk. e:mike,60694 I dislike keeping things around in case you 'need' them later. I'm guilty of hoarding though. I finally got rid of my old high school and college computer, a …
e:chris bought it for his playstation. Compared to the Samsung VR, it's way more immersive. The helmet tracks your movement in the real world and you can walk around a little bit. The controllers are also tracked by the…
I have a real hard time getting rid of clothes. One I have gained enough weight in the last few years that some are probably never going to fit again so it is time to say goodbye. But also, some things I just never wear…
They converted Pearl street to two-way, and added bike lanes in each direction. I'm actually surprised it turned out well. I think they gave the car travel lanes 11 ft which would be the absolute minimum. It should calm…
Terry and I have tried a couple times to do yoga in the living room. It's hard to keep up with these slinky Youtube yoga women, who seem to all inexplicably live in tropical retirement communities. https://www.youtube.c…
I was ready to go back home. I would have like to seen downtown Las Vegas to see if it was any different, but e:paul and his boss were at the conference and my flight left at 3. I decided to walk to the airport because …
Definitely my favorite part of Las Vegas so far. We drove out to the far west side, right up to the edge of the sprawl the park begins. The traffic was really heavy in the park loop, and there were a ton of cyclists rid…
Las Vegas Boulevard is an assault on all senses. 12 lanes of speeding traffic honking and barreling through pedestrians. 2 story screens screaming advertisements at you A bigger, brighter 3 story screen, commanding you …
The drive between Flagstaff and Las Vegas was about three and a half hours. The landscape changes from cool, mountainous pine forest to a hellish 90F+ gravel desert, with no vegetation. At one point we stopped for e:pau…
That night we had to find a hotel but they were almost all booked. Except roach motels on the outside of the town, and even they were going for $115+. I found a hostel ran by the same company we stayed at earlier for $8…
On the way back from the Grand Canyon, we passed by the Lava River caves outside of Flagstaff. e:terry had taken e:paul there before so e:paul had a vague idea of where it was. But it was night and he wasn't sure about …
e:paul and I got to the south rim pretty late in the afternoon (almost 2). It was more packed than I've ever seen Niagara Falls So we rented bikes and zoomed west from the canyon village to Hermit's camp. It was a steep…
After the mountain we rested a bit and went to a ramen restaurant called Sosoba. At 5pm the food is half priced for an hour. I got a vegan tofu ramen and e:paul got a spam and pork one (blech) for half off, so dinner wa…
