Summer FoodCategory: food
Is it just me or does food seem to Tate better in the Summer. This is steak, zuchinni, avacado, and brocoli with strawberries and watermelon.

I agree, everything tastes 10x better. Maybe because of a shorter growing season, there is not much water-logging in the crops and their flavours intensify?

In Theory in summer all the fruits and things like that should be fresher ..... Or it could be you just feel better because of the son and no snow and ice and grey skies.....

Google+Category: web
Wow, could it be any more like facebook. I mean, I like it - I like it even more but it feels the same. Its going to be so hard to get people into both. I don't understand how people can possibly have enough time in their lives for all of this social networking. Maybe google is going to do an even better job with it.

Yikes.. this is somewhat disturbing. They spotted and suggested me as your "circle mate"... I don't know if I like this anymore than I "like" facebook. It's the same devil.

So Followed the link and from facebook's side it does make sense.... When I first signed up they had ways to find contacts or people you know through your e-mail (so many people alone use yahoo it is a no brainer)... So they don't want to have you find all your friends then google takes you and all your friends of facebook... Facebook knows that it is all about being connected... When two friends left myspace to go to facebook if you follow those two friends then you had to make the jump also....With limited time that made less and less people on myspace... Yes there are some people and bands you can only follow on myspace and things that would never fly on facebook... But the point is they don't want to lose people to google cause if they do then people who follow them will leave also... Think this is why they came out now with all the chat and skype stuff that I haven't used.... Seems like a good way for lovers to keep in touch or find new lovers.....

Well maybe Heidi is on and sees the pic so writes a comment like ok now i know where you are stay right there...Your phone buzzes you look Hey guys don't move Heidi is on her way over.... Or you know something like that again I don't have it so ........

Buffalo Fireworks From the Outer HarbourCategory: holidays
The spot we went to last year was
Its like this year everyone knew our spot so we moved out on the harbor into the dark. I think it was the most intense upclose view of large scale fireworks I have ever seen.
Here is the finale filmed with my outdated 5mp mobile phone cam.
It was a great end to a great weekend. Next weekend is (e:hodown) visit, Sirius Rising and the Taste of Buffalo.
- well lit by new street lights
- packed with 10,000 people

I saw it from 100 miles away at my window sipping a cup of tea and ruing the loss of a weekend...
