    Just like those of you remembering JFK I remember much later where I was when I learned that the space shuttle exploded. I was in High school band class senior year and the principal came in and...

    I was born in 1967. I remember going out into our backyard to look at the ‘spaceship going to the moon’. Not knowing what to look for I didn’t see it and was very frustrated since the rest of my...
  3. The first news story you remember being aware of as a child?

    A friend on facebook posed this question and I immediately recalled the Patty Hearst trial.

    A bit of backstory. My mother didn't realize (or didn't care) that there was a fresh vegetable aisle...

    It was kind of a self inflicted wound on trump's part. If he would've just acknowledged that they had sex then she wouldn't have been needed as a witness.

    I guess to some people it's weird that...

    Northern lights

    Driving home from dinner earlier SO joked ‘can you see the northern lights?’ It wasn’t dark yet so he was just being silly. Then two minutes later a friend texted that his mom had seen them in...

    Ugggh. No. She literally spends 2-3 hours every day out there. Also the hoa no longer allows potted plants on driveways but she and one other woman have been grandfathered. When she does those plants...

    This got me curious. A quick search on amazon finds that people make standalone induction burners specifically for woks. I don't know enough about woks to know how practical this is. For instance...

    Indeed! It will be sad when our neighbor passes, both because she's a total sweetheart and because the area in front of our house will look way less cheerful once she's gone. But she's only 92 and...

    I wish we had a footed tv room. SO has the tv on virtually 100% of the time that he’s home.

    The downstairs of our 1575 sq foot home has no doors (except the bathroom of course). But the bathroom...

    Had a lovely hike about ten minutes south of us this weekend. That's downtown San Francisco in the distance (the salesforce tower is the tallest building) and the Bay Bridge off to the left.

    The old lady next door's flowers

    I've mentioned before that the old lady next door LOVES gardening and is very good at it. And that she also plants and cares for flowers on our side of the sidewalk area leading to our front doors. ...

    That's an interesting observation. And not one I would've ever thought of. But it makes sense since the surface area of a wok on the burner is actually quite small. I actually did a stir fry...

    There’s a difference between Palestinian sympathizers and Hamas sympathizers. Kind of the same as acknowledging that not all republicans are loser trump sympathizers.
