It was fun other than @terry kicking a rock down the hill that smashed my ankle which is killing me now.

If this is the Devils Hole, and it sures stinks like it, where is his mouth?

















Here is some interesting info about Devil's Hole

I just deleted 22,000 emails from my gmail and spent almost 4 hours unsubscribing from everything I ever signed up for in the last 5 years. Its amazing how complicated it is to unsubscribe from so much stuff. I can finally set my phone to auto sync because I think the inbox is now under control. Before this it would beep way too often with new crap, that I had set it to manual sync.

I wish so bad that Toronto was just part of the United States. Its the perfect distance for a big city to be away from me but the border, etc makes it such a pain in the ass.

Tonight Loadstar is playing at a new club in the guvernment complex called chroma. I would gladly pay $20 to go if it was here. Check out the club.

Wow the legal system is getting so ridiculous.

(CBS News) Is Nutella, the popular chocolate-hazelnut spread, actually good for you? A class-action lawsuit over the spread's purported health claims has just been settled, with a judge siding with a parent who says she was duped into believing it was good for her kids.Nutella-maker Ferrero USA, Inc. will pay out $3.05 million as part of the settlement, with $2.5 million to be divided among consumers who file a claim, the New York Daily News reported.

Maybe I should just open my own store.

wegmans had some great looking large aspagargus at the very reasonable price of $1.99/ lb. About 5 feet away from the display and big $1.99/lb sign was the same exact aspagus wrapped in celephane on styrofoam trays.

If you look carefully you see that the price is astronomically higher. The smaller pack was $4.99/lb. The larger pack was $3.99/lb. Surely the little styrofoam tray and plastic wrap can't be that expensive.

My feeling is that this is a scam for people that don't carefully pay attention as much as I do. You walk in, see the $1.99/lb sign. decide you want more than one bunch worth so you pick up a tray and bam - $3.00 extra dollars per pound. I think most people would have assumed the larger amount woukd be cheaper if anything. Its not like they had a sign saying $4.99/lb above those items.

I hope that snow was the last we see for a long time. I wonder if the pear tree will fruit because the blossoms got snowed on.

At Hayes fish market in Kenmore they have some great fried shrimp. I had this for lunch on the way back from the dentist yesterday. There were actually more shrimp than you see as I had eaten a bunch before I realized I should take a pig.

Its amazing how much the Ship Canal Commons has transformed the space it occupies. It's amazing how disgusting it used to be back in the day and how much crap went in the water. Its especially gross because like most of the heavy industry around there, its directly upstream of our water intake.

Anyways, it seems much nicer now. I wonder what types of businesses will end up occupying the location.

I also wonder how all the trees planted in rocks are going to survive?

We literally cleaned from the moment we woke up until 5 minutes ago. I steam cleaned all the floors and Terry even washed all the curtains and blinds. I finally emptied out the closet under the stairs. I had waited so long to have a home for the vacuums. At the very back of the very bottom of it I found the key for he drill that I lost maybe the first week we moved here in 2006. I was almost at the point of throwing out the drill. I am glad I didn't.

I must have emptied out 10 giant canisters of dust from the vacuum.
