First 100F degree day today
Yeah, last year took some getting used to. But at least I'm not in the desert..nice and green w/ palm trees here in the city. I think I'll take a little heat over the disgusting gray, damp, cold winters I lived with in Ohio and Michigan. Moving back to that kind of climate would be a big shock to me.

First 100F degree day today
Today was the first day it really felt hot. Car thermometer said 130 when I started, but after a few min w/ the A/C on, it settled down to 100. Though one TV news channel says it was only 98. Well, 6 months of heat begins. Looking forward to getting in pool soon. Supposed to be 102 tomorrow, then cool down to the 90s for a few days.

Clever.... a few months ago, my blue (recyclables) rolly bin cracked, had to call for a new one...then more recently, I backed over the green bin... has a couple cracks now, duct taped over..

Shanghai 2009: Buick MPV Business Concept
Well, the tallness of the front is probably for meeting ped safety regs. The Enclave is pretty tall in the front also. It's a decent looking minivan/MPV/whatever.

In Phoenix, I have two big rolly bins that I roll out to the street on Tues (blue bin for recyclables--paper, glass, etc) and Friday (green bin for trash and yard clippings that the yard guys put in on Monday).

OH MY GOD
Yeah, It would make a great April 1 or Onion article, but is apparently real. I can see it now, greenie ultrathin vegans screaming at obese people---'You are destroying the environment! Get thin or die!!"

This just in: fat is not green. Lose weight to help save the planet. Stop global warming by getting thin. Fun for all. Obesity causes Climate Change

Billy Mays vs. Shamwow Guy
I'd like to see how it works on dog urine... since I'm always cleaning that up off the tile and hardwood floors. Or oil off of the driveway, from my sister's old Merc that can piss a quart in 15 minutes. (I use kitty litter under that car).

Billy Mays vs. Shamwow Guy
The real question, though, does anyone here have experience w/ ShamWow or Zorbeez? Seems like they would be great if they actually work..

Whenever I hear of Billy, I think of the retired baseball player.

Interesting snow pic from this weekend..
Ahhhh....I finally see why people are saying it's a truck... the left side of the pic is the rear of a truck. I've been thinking it's the front of a mid '50s GM--Oldsmobile, maybe (big chrome bumper w/ inset grille, rounded roof, etc)

Idea's... for my next car and its a poll... UPDATE 2
I don't remember either generation having an MCE beyond wheel changes..must have been subtle. Now the '89-96 gen had a few changes over it's run.

Recent polls have shown a fifth of Americans can't locate the U.S. on a world map.
I've always been a map fan...loved studying the Rand McNally when my folks were planning vacations. I've long been interested in maps, globes, atlases and cartography in general..things like the path of rivers, state and country borders, etc. I took geography in high school, one of my electives. In the modern era, I love studying Google Maps and Google Earth.

Interesting snow pic from this weekend..
Yeah, it's probably a truck..the pic is pretty fuzzy..something about it reminds me of the shape and front bumper of a mid '50s GM.
