When we were down in the Bay Area, we spent the first 3 nights in SF and then spent Sunday night in Santa Clara so that we could visit Mrs SPH's 94-year-old mom before flying home out of SJC. Sunday night we stayed at the Hyatt next door to the Santa Clara Convention Center. When we were checking in...

Turkey Tacos here! Warmed up flour tortillas, home-made guacamole, pepperjack cheese.... really more burritos than tacos, but same stuff! We were down in San Francisco over the weekend again, Mrs SPH went wedding dress shopping with she-keet bride-to-be Nicole. [smilie=battingeyes.gif] We got a tour...

It kinda depends... Usually with ketchup (catsup?) but if I'm at a Fish 'n Chips place I might have tartar sauce and I'll dip them in BBQ sauce when I'm in that kind of establishment. If they are really good fries, I'll eat them sans condiments.

Competing cafes opening up next to each other... which one serves the best coffee?

Washington state doesn't have an Income Tax (1 of 7 states that doesn't) but instead has a 6.5% Sales Tax; municipalities then add their bite, 3.75% in Seattle's case. Not applicable to groceries, but pretty much everything else.

I was at the local lumber yard to get some wood for a project. The cashier asked if I was eligible for a discount and I shrugged. He asked if I was a contractor or a senior. I said I was 72, so I was probably eligible. He rang it up and the total was $110.... I was buying about $100 worth of wood an...

... Three steps from the door to street level. I don't know if I tripped, or misjudged the first step or even if my knee buckled and pitched me off-balance - i do know that it most certainly wasn't that i'd been imbibing - but I ended up going down and landing like a sack of hammers. It sounds like...

Ok, I'll ask. What is a pop-out? A fly ball is a ball hit into the air (vs. a ground ball , one hit on the ground). A pop fly is a fly ball hit nearly vertically into the air, usually within the infield. If a batter hits a fly ball that is caught by an outfielder he is said to have flied-out and if...

Crazy ending to last night’s Mariners at Oakland ball game. After beating the A’s 8-2 and 9-0 the first two games, last night the M’s bats were dead and the A's had a no-hitter going until there were 2 outs in the 8th inning. Going into the 9th, the A’s were leading 1-0. In the top of the 9th inning...

Mmmm, love good onions rings! Don't like them greasy or mushy though....

Happy B'day MsMod's Mom.

Here in the Upper LH Corner at 47°36′22″ N, sunrise today was at 5:11 am and sunset will be at 9:10 pm. That means 15 hours and 59 minutes of daylight… more than double the 7 hours and 35 minutes that we had on the Winter Solstice.

Typical spring day here.... drizzle and 15° cooler than "normal".
But damnit, it's the middle of June, not March!

Nobody's gonna give you a nap; if you want one, you gotta take it.

The pain has arrived.

Did I ever mention I don't like dentists?

There ain't nobody ever said "Oh boy, I get to go to the dentist."

Today is our oldest nephew's birthday!
Hard to believe he is 48.

My brother was 10 years older than me and he had a kid when he was 20..... my nephew is 62!

No place to go and all day to get there.
58° and raining... what else is new?

Just a normal day here.... cold and rainy! We had record (for the date) rainfall today and have already exceeded the monthly average with about 3 weeks to go in the month. Most of the rivers in the Puget Sound basin have flood warnings.... much more rain and you'll be seeing pictures of salmon swimm...

At least there wasn't much late inning stress for either of us....
