Mike's special offer

Playboy not only knows the demographics of (e:mike), but this whole household. I was so sick of paying full retail.

Demolition on Franklin?

Are they about to demolish the burned out building on Franklin near Allen? They've started to remove the asbestos. I hope not. The block looks bad enough with all the parking lots and I'm sure this would just become another. Imagine this building gone, and the boarded up yellow one next to Hill Hotel demolished too. The street would be empty.

(e:paul) and I looked at the building and it's really three separate ones - an originial house, an added on storefront and then a cinder block rear building.

Presto! Cafe

On Monday, (e:terry) and I went to Presto for lunch. The space was huge, almost too big. The food seemed fresh and decent, but it was really bland. Maybe next time if we get the vegetarian nachos, we'll need to bring some Lloyd's sauce.

A missing sock

When we got back from camping this weekend, we found a huge puddle of soapy water flooding the basement. (E:Paul) and I tried to figure out why every time it ran, water would flow out the soap dispenser. it turns out there was a clog - (e:terry) found this beat up sock plugging the fill line to the tub. Too bad it wasn't my ring.

Brushwood And Allegahny

We went down and camped in Brushwood on Friday and Alleghany on Saturday. The fireflies at both places were really amazing, although we were a little early for the synchronous ones. I would have loved to stay at Alleghany more.

It was so freaking dark when we walked for the fireflies there. It's insane when the only light your eyes can pick up are from their glow, and you have no idea where you're actually walking.

The weather was amazing, although we didn't have time to swim.

Monster truck

We rented a giant Ford SUV to go camping, and carry all our friends and our things down to Brushwood. While I'm sure it was more efficent than taking multiple cars, it was my worst nightmare to be in it.

(e:paul) took right to it. Air conditioned seats, satellite radio porn and 15 miles per gallon. America, fuck yeah. It runs on freedom and a bald eagle's tears.

Bikes at the square

You know its a good thing when you can't find a bike parking spot. (e:Paul), (e:terry), (e:heidi), (e:dianne) and I all rode down to catch the end of moe.

They sounded decent but I'm sure it would have been even better if we as high as the crowd was.

Bier auf dem Kopf

It's easier to balance beers on your head than you'd think. I have a bumpy head and I could do it.

More food

(e:terry) and I adapted a recipie for spicy potatoes out of the Indian food book. It used potatoes, dried chilli, peppers, onions, garlic and some cumin. Our ratio was a little off - too much potato and not enough spice - but if you scraped some of the chili seeds off the bottom of the pan it added enough heat. He also cooked up some mushrooms to go with it.

The view from the backyard while we were cooking.

Sprouted grapefruit

I was eating this giant grapefruit at work today, when I noticed it tasted awful. I got to the middle and found all these sprouted seeds. I planted one at home. Maybe we'll be growing grapefruits 10 years from now?
