It looks like we had some local pot growers in the neighborhood.
I was reading the Rutland Herald online this morning (it is the local major newspaper), and one of today’s headlines jumped out at me - “Pot, guns, stolen property seized in raid in Ludlow”.
We probably walked by the place where they lived […]
Ok, so the Pogues reference was a bit of lame duck, being so cliche, but I couldn’t resist. Every time I went to post the photo my brain was trying to figure out how the Pogues song sounded.
So to continue the trend I figured I would use the name of an R.E.M. album for […]
NME.com linked to a story on http://www.thecure.com about the departure of two members of the Cure.
The simple statement says - “Perry Bamonte and Roger O’Donnell are no longer in the band.”
No details on who they will be replaced by, but the post mentions more details soon.
And now every April I sit on my porch
And I watch the parade pass before me
And I watch my old comrades, how proudly they march
Reliving old dreams of past glory
And the old men march slowly, all bent, stiff and sore
The forgotten heroes from a forgotten war

Driving home tonight Patty and I were impressed and scared by the six or more bonfires that were happily burning in viewing distance of the road. Not all in the same location either, but carefully spread out several miles apart or more.
It is Memorial Day Weekend, but I don’t remember bonfires being prerequisite for […]
We had our first bit of sun in Ludlow in a couple of days. It has been rather stereotypical Seattle weather - lots of clouds, lots of grey skies, and not a lot sunshine. I say stereotypical as Seattle is enjoying some hot and sunny weather. Go figure.
Unfortunately, we didn’t […]
New blog from my friend Richard. Get on the SparkleTrain!
I can’t remember how long ago it was that I first tried to read Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon. I tried several times, never getting very far each time, and as usual moving on to another book that was more interesting to me.
Now that I have read Cryptonomicon I understand the attraction of this […]
It is weird to think that I will finish Neal Stephenson’s Cryptonomicon before I finish Moby Dick (my reading is still stalled out on that one).
I have about a hundred pages left to read. Although an interesting and at times humorous exciting read, Cryptonomicon is a bit of a slog. […]
This is what you can get for about $40 at Fenway Park:
2 Hot Dogs with Mustard
1 Coca Cola
4 Pretzels with extra salt
2 Tubs of Cheese for the Pretzels
2 Beers
Glad to see the food and drink prices are similiar to those at Safeco Field in Seattle.
