Watched the new Jet Li movie we rented, Kiss of the Dragon, from a 92 cent place.

It was worth 91 cents maybe....

Hopfgarten, Austria, a lovely village!

Child Safety Seat Serial #

This is our pool after cleaning :-)

This phone is the pits.... Finally got rid of it, donated to the Disabled Veterans. 

Hmm... The BlogThis button on Picasa stopped working since yesterday, anyone know why?

Where can you spend this money? 

We had to pay $15 to park at the Staples Center, but it was pretty close to the entrance. 

A vendor gave me tickets to their VIP luxury suite at the Staples Center!
Too bad it was the Clippers playing... 

We sold this car to CarMax, got a pretty good price too! 

State of Fear ---
This thriller is not Crichton's best read, but the concepts it presents (through the rather prosaic musings of his characters/puppets) are very thought provoking.
I think this should at least be read by the Greenpeace-niks or the bp-ad writers to at least balance some of the thoughts. A lot of science facts are mere conjectures that are proven false later, such as eugenics as Crichton mentions in his book.

Sold this on auctions.overstock.com, but it wasn't that great of an experience.
