The other day we took a family bikeride over to the outer harbor. The weather was so amazing. We saw the new empty business park where they already have a bikerack and toured to defunct new casino. I winder if the building will rust through before it is ever used? Leave it ti Buffalo to dilapidate a building before occupation.

We traveled up to the old water authority building. Someone left a bunch of nude playing cards all over the ground at the front steps. What a weird find.

I know every city has these but damn this is an eyesore on the way out to the outer harbour by bike. Maybe once the Chicago Street bridge is completed in 2050 I wont have to see it anymore.

The dead trees lining the subway station at the new harbor/HSBC look even worse now. Nothing like dead EVERgreens with a crow to spruce up the place. If I went and chopped them down would it just be extreme community gardening?

The foaming at the mouth part is so funny. The little one looks pissed but I guess its better than being beaten up and Basra isn't really having sex with him, just humping his shell.

@YesThatCasey and I went hiking at soar yesterday. The weather was awesome. We managed to hike a climb a lot and planned an even more rigorous adventure for next time.

I even managed to swim.

No matter how cute the other one is, basra is still my favorite

The other day I got an email from the store saying they have a new location on Sheridan and Eggert. This is so exciting because its so close to my parents house. So today my mother and I went down and picked up a bunch of delicious seafood.

We got king crab legs, halibut cheeks, cold water Alaskan wikcaught shrimp and Alaskan scallops. We had to eat the crab legs as soon as we got home. Ten minutes later my mother was cooking up the halibut cheeks. Despite my undying love for crab legs, the halibut cheeks were honestly just as tasty. In fact the texture and flavor makes them a great crab substitute.

Adele, the shop keeper made the whole experience so pleasant as always. She also mentioned they are also starting to get in seafood from Florida and at some point in the near future clams from the northeast which I am very excited about.

I will post again when I cook up the scallops and shrimp.

Its time to let the new tortoise go. He is healthy and eating but Basra the much bigger tortoise just keeps beating the crap out of him. This morning he was on his back and and basra was repeatedly was ramming his shell into a cinderblock at full force. Then when he tires of beating him up he tries to have sex with him. Its just not a good existence. Not sure what to do because we have to find someone with enough space.

So I watch more TV now that I have no friends and get home late from work M-TH. I used to like the way hulu had the shows on the night after they aired. Sames with Abc, Fox, etc but it seems that now all of the content providers have switched to airing the episodes the following week unless you buy hulu plus or have cable. For example, the raising hope that aired last night will be available wed sept 28th unless you pay $7.99/month for hulu plus or sign up for cable which is surely like $50+ a month.

I really don't get why Time Warner doesn't consider us a valuable enough customers to let us watch he shows online that are normally on the free over the air channels. Its not like we don't already pay them $120/month for our internet. I mean I don't expect to see HBO, etc but at least the shows on fox, abc, etc. What is the difference if I watch it as cable or over the internet over a cable wire. They are getting paid either way and I am subjected to advertisements that they profit from.

The whole thing makes me so aggravated. I probably just need to learn to be patient.

Its about to happen again. I am so excited to try some new places.
