Oh no what have I done now…

I have gone from caring less about any smart phone to trying out an iPhone to this! The steps I have taken over the last week:

Got Wifi to work at work on Monday

Got Wifi to work at home on Mon nite

Wifi did not work on Tue morning

Wow this is really working on Facebook…

mad props to KNX 1070’s reporter Ron Kilgore for his efforts to sensationalize a rain sprinkle. According to my boy Ronnie (reporting from the KNX Storm Center in La Canada) “we’re getting a real good strong sprinkle here.” Half an hour earlier he reported: “I had rain coming in through the top of my windshield. It’s THAT kind of rain. The kind that just digs into everything.”

Ron, it wasn’t THAT kind of rain. I think you may have THAT kind of windshield, but I’ll have to check.

Dude, please. I have seen all and every kind of rain, hundreds more kinds than you, and thousands more storms than you. In all my life and in all my rains, I have NEVER, and I mean EVER, seen THAT kind of rain. I will assure you and millions of Southern Californians that this type of rain does not exist.

That’s great that it took 4 adjectives to describe a sprinkle of rain: real, good, strong and sprinkle!

And can I say forget La Cresentia, Sunland, and anywhere else in SoCal where summer cabins became full time homes. I cannot prevent your bad judgment to influence my sympathies. THESE WERE MEANT TO BE SUMMER CABINS PEOPLE. I am tired of hearing about it, and paying for it. You can’t withstand the rain, and you can’t withstand the fire, so what are you doing up there…???

“humanpong” over at the You Tube has got it all together. Covering The Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up” playing 3 instruments at once and singing up a storm…

Love the calm American accent on the guy inside the ambulance…

I can understand the need for Blue Rhino to “get their name out there” but… geez us. They could not have put their name plate on a chintzier piece of work than this!

This grill is the worst!!

Ohh, how many ways does this grill suck? Let me count the ways:

Assembly time: Immediately out of the box, I was impressed. Wow, what a LOT of parts and a whole lotta hardware, like 200 or so. 6 hours later…

Assembled product: Barely weighs 2 pounds. Thin plastic handles (think 99 cent store spatula thin) and weird legs just begin to hint at the mistake I have made.

Cooking experience: Unmitigated disaster. It’s hilarious they put a little thermometer jammed in the top hole. That must have been originally designed for a mini fire extinguisher.

Little did I know that I had paid 40 bucks to enroll in Blue Rhino’s green initiative: The converting of all cows, pigs, and lobsters into clean burning charcoal.
