Almost famous, again

I made Andrew Sullivan's "The View from Your Window" again:

He captioned it incorrectly. I twas actually taken at 00:05 -- i.e., 5 minutes past midnight. The orangish color is from the tungsten filament light bulbs -- while they appear light to your eye, they are really orangish. Your brain is pretty smart and adjusts for this (and for fluorescent, or mercury vapor, or even sunny versus cloudy sunlight.)

So, that's the Santa Monica office and the LA apartment....next stop, Lompoc!

Nice. I guess I'll have to do a post about my brushes with near Internet fame.

Now, now, there'll be none of that -- I can't have you ratcheting up the pressure to post!

Is there an echo in here?

Yep, there seems to be an echo in this cavernous empty space.

On those gas situations;...

So not only does the gas pump cap out at a $65 or $75 withdrawal on an ATM card, they don't really have that cleared with the banks. If you topped out $75 in your Jeep and you put more money in by reentering your card, if you do that, say twice in the same weekend, the next time you go to take cash out you're screwed: "sorry we put a fraud lock on your card because we were afraid it was being used after having been stolen, being used twice for gas within a few minute is a fraud sign." Note, the bank they did the right thing. The gas companies, they're just screw us every which way we go. listen Powered by Jott

Life in California....

Life in California. 1 car, 2 bumper stickers. "Fight Terrorists, not Wal-Mart" and "McCain". Firmly consistent, no problem at all. In fact, they both even have nice blue backgrounds. But, they're on a freakin' Prius!!! Anyway, that's life on the PCH. Happy, sunny and sometimes conflicting. That's all for now. Bye. listen Powered by Jott
