Too hot for golf
Posted on June 13th, 2005 No commentsIn a few minutes I’m leaving for the second of my four golf lessons this month. It’s 97 degrees outside. This is going to hurt. Maybe if I try hard enough at my lesson I won’t notice the blistering heat. I have much work to do when it comes to my swing!

June 11th garden update
Posted on June 11th, 2005 No commentsThis one’s a quick one…
First have a look at my corn! It’s now over a foot tall!
Then there’s my grapes. Holy crap! You have to blow up the photo to count them all. This is my flame grape plant — I’ve got 5 more plants worth too (one muscat, four thompson)! -
Rant of the week: ATM machines
Posted on June 10th, 2005 3 commentsIs it just me, or are they getting more and more difficult to use? Bank of America’s are especially bad. Insert card, choose your language, enter your PIN number, and wait.
“Fast cash” used to be fast. Not anymore… now you have to pick how much you want to withdraw instead of pressing one button and collecting your $40. If I wanted to choose my withdrawl amount I’d get cash the regular, non-fast way!
And depositing money is more of a pain too. How much do you want to deposit? Are you sure? Which account? Okay, give me your money. Then the stupid thing prints out the receipt which wastes paper if you want to perform another transaction after that (like withdraw money).
Wells Fargo’s ATMs, on the other hand, are cool. You can even buy stamps from them!
Man, I feel better now. -

Stuck at home
Posted on June 7th, 2005 No commentsOn Friday my street will be closed so they can “slurry” it. Why they have to do this on a street 2 years old is beyond me, but hey, I don’t have any choice in the matter. So I either need to put the car somewhere else (where I do not know), stay at home all day, or walk everywhere.
Update: It never happened! Grrr… -

Fire!
Posted on June 5th, 2005 No comments
There was a brush fire down the street but (unfortunately) I wasn’t around to see it happen. I saw smoke but had no idea it was down the block! Above is one of the destroyed construction vehicles and this panorama shows the whole burn area. This happened in-between my street and the new high school. There were some other fires in the area today (it was really windy) that I could see from around town.
Update: As it turns out the fire was not an accident (see story) -

What lucky timing for this shot! Taken with the Canon PowerShot S2 in Foster City, CA (where I grew up).
