I had a visitor at work yesterday. An Alligator Lizard decided to stop by the amphitheater and look around yesterday afternoon. For a frame of reference, that wall section to the lizard's right is 12.5 inches wide. I figure that places this lizard at about 15 inches long.

My Home Owners' Association is replacing the copper pipes in all the units in my condo complex with PEX piping. The contractor needs access to the units and my building just happens to be scheduled for the first week of the RTR. Unfortunately, I'm limited in how much time my employer will...

Lately I've taken to swearing at other drivers on the road in Pig Latin. I find that it helps relax me by turning my frustration with other drivers into a sort of game. Hopefully this makes me a safer driver.

I was at Home Depot this morning picking up some paint for work when I saw the most terrifying Halloween display ever!

I took these pictures from my porch today. I figure I'm probably about five miles or so from where the fire started. No need to worry about me though. As things stand, I'm in no danger.

I know there's already a thread from several years ago on this subject, but I found it less than informative and thought that a fresh start would be a better approach than trying to build on a long dead and buried thread. I've recently begun wearing cooling vests at work as a way of dealing...

Earlier today, while folding laundry, I inhaled a cough drop. I was fortunate in that it lodged high enough in my throat that I was able to cough it out. It was pure luck that it didn't go farther down.

I've been out of touch for the last week or so. Two weeks ago my truck (not my road tripper) ended up getting totaled in an accident when the brakes failed two weeks after another accident wiped out the right rear fender. I was not involved in either accident. An old friend has been borrowing...

I stumbled across this video by The Onion and it had me chuckling a bit. Imagine that this is, at least in part, how much of the wider world views vehicle dwellers. [video=youtube]

Today I got a fortune cookie with no fortune in it. does that mean I'm the master of my own destiny? :dodgy: :P

I need to get someone to talk to my knees for me, convince them I'm really an okay guy and that they should quit grumbling and complaining every time I take a step. :angel:

As of today, and for the next year, I am the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. :angel:

The power's out in my neighborhood today, so I went to a nearby Starbucks to make use of the wi-fi. There was a homeless lady sitting behind me, carrying on a conversation with herself. Aside from this slight disconnect with reality, she seemed a fairly nice lady. At one point, she asked if I...

I'm not sure how widespread this chain is, but they have locations all over Southern California. They're shutting down all of their stores and have already shut down their Web Business. Right now they're selling everything for 10%-30% off. I poked my head in my local store yesterday when I...

A friend of mine showed this to me. [video=youtube]

A friend of mine found this video. I figured I'd share it with another group of friends. [video=youtube]

Working hard or hardly working? This was about two thirds of the way through a work day that started at 8:00 a.m. and ended at 11:30 p.m. Two more days of dress rehearsals, then my schedule slacks off a bit for a few days. When I come back next week I'll be working straight through to...

I wonder if a miniaturized version of this could be installed on a vehicle. [video=youtube] If so, would it be a beneficial addition or just a really cool toy?

This here is a great video of a really cool truck conversion. [video=youtube]
