The storm we are having is so great. My cell phone has been working for about a half hour or so. I do hope everyone is OK with the lightning striking and everyone being out. Luckily did not get soaked.
Went with (e:mike) and his mother to the Elmwood Ave art festival. That was so much fun hanging out with the two of them. His mom came and sat on the porch for a while too and saw my new place. Also went again to the festival with my friend Justin whom I haven't seen in forever. It was nice to see him again. The festival was excellent. The garden parade was one of the best parades I have seen. Music, dancing and the scary masks were all so awesome.
(e:mike) so if you see this you know why I can' t call you. Sent you an email.

4th of July Waterfront
This is my new porch which I enjoy every day. Look at my new Weber grill. This grill is awesome! I have been grilling A LOT since I got it on the 4th. Everything is sooo tasty.

Glad you had a good time on the 4th and nice pictures by the way. I just want to add to be very careful with that grill I can see the charcoal dust on the metal catcher thing, most people for charcoal use some kind of gas or lighter fluid and just a bit to much on a porch then a house fire starts. I'm not saying it will happen to you but it does happen to lots of people every year. On a side note that corn looks pretty good.

Your porch looks so relaxing.
Also Mike looks drunk in that last picture. Why am I not surprised?

Economic StimulusEconomic stimulus takes on a new meaning with Bush's tax rebates. I was listening to 970 AM when I heard that the latest economic stimulus checks are being used for pay pornographic websites. Now that is why I call economic stimulus.

I love my netti pettiMy netti petti is awesome! I have been using it two days and no longer have a soar throat from talking all day at work and I can breath so much better. Because I am getting more oxygen I feel more energetic and happier than I have in a long time. I really had no idea how bad my sinuses were! It's just like a tea pot that has a spout and you pour the saline solution in one nose and out the other.
There are ants ALL over my kitchen (old apt). It seems most people in old homes have ant problems.
What is with these new parking meters all over? What a waste of money. Who wants to walk almost a block away to get a ticket and then back again to put it on your dashboard in the winter so that you can park on the street?

uncut, i do love that OMD song. Thanks for clarifying. I have to admit that I found it kind of disturbing when I saw it because I didn't understand why you were using it. It seems like we had a conversation about the Enola Gay before but I couldn't remember what was said or why we even talked about it. Here is a clip of OMD on youtube. :::link:::
lady, these are available just about anywhere. I'm sure if you can get some birth control over the counter they will have them in Dohar as well. If you can't find one I can see about sending you one if you want. I'm not sure if the parking machines are all over the city but on my way home from work I saw them on Allen and on Elmwood.
felly, it is good im leaving. Those ants wont go away even after I cleaned the whole kitchen last night. I don't want to, but I think I will have to get an ant trap.

I think I saw this photo again around the time Paul Tibbetts, the man in the photo and the pilot of the Enola Gay, died last year. The photo was taken right before the plane took off to bomb Hiroshima.
The plane is named after his mother. And the bomb, itself, ironically enough was called "Little Boy." I like the OMD song of the same name.
I'm a pacifist. I don't think that there any such thing as a "just war". I believe, as Ghandi said, that the ends and means are linked morally. I use the photo with a deep sense of irony.
I think it is a interesting photo. Tibbetts is waving. Without knowing the context, no one would guess he would soon be on his way to destroy an entire city and kill many thousands of people.

You are so right uncutsaniflush, my reference to the Netti Petti was the Netti Pot. I'm just curious...why do you have the Enola Gay as your userpic?

If memory serves, Toronto and Hamilton in Ontario have had similar parking kiosk machines since at least the turn of the century when I first noticed them. So, if one were so inclined, one could say that once again Buffalo is copying Toronto. And, again, if memory serves, Downtown Buffalo near City Hall has had them since about 2005.
As for people, being unwilling to walk in the winter to pay for parking, the City of Buffalo is A-OK with that. That's why there is a Parking Enforcement Department. The City makes more money from a parking ticket than it does from someone paying the meter.
(e:libertad) - What in the world is a "netti petti". Both Google and Wikipedia don't give me a clue other than netti petti is a Finnish and/or Hindi phrase. From the context, I wonder if you are referring to a Neti Pot :::link:::

Think about it, its also a huge waste of paper. And what else is obviously a money maker for them is there is never any left over time. You drive away with your pass so the next person has to pay to part from scratch. In the current system you almost always had some time left over from the last person.
