Eek! It's August. The weather has been nice during the afternoon, but very foggy in the mornings and evenings. Oh well, at least it's not hot. (I grew up in central PA where August was hot and muggy). We had a small medical emergency this week. I was out for a meeting on Wednesday and,… Continue reading

The weather was quite nice for most of the week Well, July is over and thus summer is more than half over. Drat. Well, we still have August and part of September. We've had our Scion xB for a full year now (and I still think it's a great car!). Have you test-driven one yet?… Continue reading

The weather has been quite warm this past week, even to say Hot on Saturday!. Ugh. I had to open lots of windows and turn on all of the fans. We ordered a solar-powered (water recycling) birdbath. The good news is that we can put it anywhere in the yard with no cords or cables… Continue reading

The weather has been quite nice, with some fog in the evenings. On Saturday, for our day trip up to the North Bay, it was delightfully sunny and quite warm at our destination! We ordered our Scion xB one year ago Monday. I don't think I've had a moment's regret in all that time (even… Continue reading

This week started off with a bang (several bangs in fact). We get a lot of neighborhood fireworks on the 4th and we can see them very well from our living room windows. I don't know how many were the most expensive "Safe and Sane" variety and how many came up from Mexico, Guatemala, or… Continue reading

The weather started out grey and foggy early in the week but it's been pretty and blue for the past few days. Rich was out of town last weekend. The cats and I snuggled and I read. I decided to install Visio (under Virtual PC) for The Job. Unfortunately, I don't run Windows much or… Continue reading

The weather has varied from blue to grey and back again, but no rain this week. Did you see the gorgeous full moon on the 21st? That was also the summer solstice. We had some fog that night but the moon kept peeking through. NASA posted an article on the "summer moon illusion". That's when… Continue reading

The weather has been variable this week, from blue and pretty early in the week to another late-season rain storm on Thursday. I've started using Mighty Mouse, a cursor customization program from Unsanity software. I like my new cursors. I am using a combination of cursors from three sets: most of a set called "large… Continue reading

It was an interesting week, weather-wise. There were several nice, almost warm days, followed by one full day of unexpected rain, then two days of thick fog. On Sunday night, we drove into the City and had dinner with Rich's co-author on a Mac OS X book (still in progress). Said co-author was in town… Continue reading

The weather has been particularly nice this week – warmish and sunny during the day, not too hot, some wind at night. Rich has been working on a software project; he's gotten it to the stage where he can ask other people to try it and give him feedback. The fluorescent lamp we had lighting… Continue reading
