Misc.

  • I have been promised a Brazilian in Seattle, a home cooked rijsttafel in the Netherlands, and a party to remember in New York City.
  • All this is a result of my new FB group that is an offshoot of a website I’ve been on since ’94 that shut down yesterday.
  • People are grateful that they have a place to commiserate over the closing of the site. We’ve all relied on it for contact over the years.
  • Looks like biking weather all next week, except for the weekends. Of course I don’t believe a word the weatherliar says and my repeated emails to the station are now being ignored.
  • The owner of the gas station at the next exit, that is no longer there just called. They offered me the lot and equipment for $400,000.  The land comes with a house, 3 gas tanks, and the pumps. Once they list the place they will list at $500,000.
  • I declined. I’d need to steal the place to make it work.
  • Erin’s fish are doing great. No dead fish so far. Marylou enjoys watching them, but she thinks I overloaded the tank with fish. I did, but I did it with past experience and equipped the tank to handle the overload. Filtration and aeration are the key. I like an active tank.
  • Marylou’s father had aquariums and she feels that what he did was better than what I am doing.
  • Let it be known, Marylou has no opinion that she has kept to herself. I like telling her that she’s wrong and it angers her, but she will not rise to the bait.
  • I’m tired of the homeless guy getting killed by the Albuquerque police story. The cops were wrong. They should have known what they did was wrong. They should be dealt with by now, but they haven’t been. And I wish the story would just go away, but it won’t and I see this cropping up regularly for the next several years.
  • The rain we’ve received lately is wonderful! While the Memorial Day receipts were down because of it, we still did better than a normal weekend. Besides, I will not complain about the rain because it’s for the greater good that we get it whenever we can.
  • The area is greening up nicely. Dust is not an issue right now. People with allergies are no longer suffering. All of this is good!
  • Well, I need to get to work. I’ve got a full day ahead of me. Well full day is a bit of a stretch. I should be done in an hour or so and then I plan on heading to Vegas to meet Nina for lunch.
