Huh. I've never really heard a good Springsteen guitar solo - great arranged
parts, but leads generally sucked.

re 576,
Hey ricard, how about re-entering that as an item in the music.cf?

Music could use a little something different. Not a bad idea.

re #519- actually, after the first day I was told not to use ice packs
but to use heated things (my solution, putting a damp washcloth in the
microwave for a few, then putting it in a Ziplock bag and putting that
on my cheeks). This worked out really well.
IHB- the beau and I have been together for almost a year (a year as of
Oct 11)- and not only have we never had anything even resembling a
fight (debates on ideas don't count) everything just keeps getting
better and better. :)
IAHB- while I'm a temp- I am employed. I like the people I work with
and the work itself isn't bad. Not my dream job- but it will do until I
figure out what my dream job is.

Wow, nice cool weather finally, although I missed a few cool days by being
in California.
Got a cool pair of comfortable shoes at an outlet mall, too.

IHB there is now a meeting of the electric sports car and the
lithium-ion battery: http://www.acpropulsion.com/ has details.
("Improvements in acceleration" in a car that already out-ran
a Ferrari! And upwards of 270 miles range!)

From the FAQ: "It will be priced between a Porsche and a Ferrari." Heh.
It doesn't really matter; I'm not going to be in the market for an
electric car until someone invents a wireless extension cord. I think
my apartment complex would frown on me running a power wire off my
balcony and across the parking lot.

I had a good birthday on Wed, and people are still doing birthday things. This
is nice.

You could always buy a gasoline or diesel generator to park next to it. ;)

IAHB night sailing was (mostly) fun. Trying to beat to the dock wasn't so
much fun, because the wind kept shifting and dying, but other than that 'twas
quite nice.

IAH because it took me ONLY all day Saturday to upgrade an iMac from
OS 8.6 to 9.2.2.

Re #590:
Tesla was working on something of the sort...
In the apartment I was living in before I moved into a house, it would
have been possible to accommodate an electric car. The building was a
single-floor four unit type built on a corner in a neighborhood of mostly
single-family houses. A driveway ran from one street, behind the building,
to the other street, with four parallel parking spots marked one outside each
apartment's kitchen window. (And the other three tenants almost never used
that parking, preferring to park in the street so as to be right outside the
door.) It would be easy in that building to run an extension cord from a
vehicle into the kitchen window (might have to loosen a screen, maybe) to
whatever plug would be convenient, without the cord even being visible let
alone interfering with anything.
When I moved recently, I looked for such a place. But they seem not to
exist in the location I was after. About the only thing listed were apartments
in complexes of multi-story building with parking spaces some distance from
their respective apartments. I do have a docking port (and am satisifed with
its location after all), and they run power to it as at the middle of each
pair of spaces there is a lightbulb which comes on at night. I doubt one could
get away with tapping power, though. Maybe some day apartment carports will
feature electric car charging hookups...
Anyway I plan to start the next search a few months early.

Last time I lived in an apartment complex, one guy had an extension cable
running out his window, off his 2nd story porch, and over to the nearest
parking spot.
It powered the trickle charger on his bass boat.

I got to see my friend Michael Black marry a really awesome woman named
Raina on Saturday. It is really nice when someone you love marries
someone who is wonderful.

I'm happy because I am nearly 3 weeks post-op from gastric bypass surgery and
I'm feeling awesome. I haven't been sick, I haven't had any bad side-effects,
and I'm starting to notice some significant weight loss.
Now we really see just how like m-net grex is.

I'm home. Daily showers, choice of footwear, clean laundry, internet
access whenever I feel like it. It's like a vacation from my vacation.

Speaking of sleep...got 14 hours last night. And only woke up because the
phone ringer was set on "high" at 9 this morning.

IHB I really like my new doctor. He came into the room ten minutes before my
scheduled appointment time, and he answered my questions in detail without
patronizing me or talking down to me. He was really friendly, as well. I'm
pleased.

food...like cat sausage or something.
