[Back to our regularly scheduled programming]

Sat in the food court over looking the ice rink this evening, a family takes the table next to me, mother, father and three small kids. But before the kids can sit down, the parents bring out the wet naps and wipe down the table. Yeah, the table could do with a wipe. Next they wipe down all the chairs, including seats and frames. Well, they are all wearing shorts. Finally, more wet naps come out and they wipe down the metal railing over which you can watch the action on the ice. I suppose you can’t be too careful in these germ infested hovels.

Had a doosie of a storm overnight, I haven’t heard thunder so deafening and room shaking in a long time. Lots of lightening, too. Very cool. Made me think of my mother who hates thunder, she would always try to hide behind a pillow on the sofa so as not to hear the claps. The storm must have lasted a couple of hours, kept me awake (well, that and some other things). dbmini has some neat pictures of the stormy skies up his way.

PS. In case you haven’t guessed I did not win the $250M lottery jackpot.

I am really starting to hate the theme I picked for this site, look for a change just as soon as I can find one I like. If you don’t read the MINI blog, you should as the theme there is really kind of cool, in a fruity way.

I’m disappointed, but not surprised, in the result of the San Diego Mayoral election. The results bothers me in that I really think Donna Frye has zero clue about anything to do with running a city, but what bothers me more is that she looks like a warning poster for staying out in the sun too long: wear sun block kids, or else look like this….

I’m off to England Friday evening for a week, visit my mother in her convalescent hospital, so there will be no updates for a while.

Last Year’s Hash House Harriers Red Dress Run; this year’s is on Saturday. I think I look ok in red….
