Yesterday’s heat. Temps are creeping up again. But it’s still a “dry” heat.

The boat before the Boat. Before the Coupe de Ville was the 1968 Chrysler Imperial. A 440 cubic inch V-8, power everything, it would float along at 80 mph like it was riding on silk. Another gas hog, and a bit spare compared to the opulence of the Cadillac that followed, but still a great car. I think my Dad paid about $300 for it. Mine was a rich blue, called “silver cloud metallic”. I didn’t see the silver, the metallic, or the clouds, bit it was a nice blue shade.
Some other cars I’ve owned…

Personal Cadillac, Coupe de Ville, memory lane Leave a comment
1973 Cadillac Coupe de Ville
I had one just like this, waaaay back in the early 80’s.
Great car, a joy to drive, smooth as silk.
7 miles to a gallon.
Sigh.
No, not economical, not ecological, not cheap to run.
But still a heck of a car.
It Was 1976… it could have been worse!

June, 1976 Senior Prom
About to leave to go pick up my date.
All I can say is the model in the tux catalog looked really good.
We didn’t go in my truck.
Boy, I wish I could go back and talk to this kid for a few minutes!
Oh… look at that hair!

An interesting take on the anti-immigrant movement in this country. So much rhetoric, so little factual basis. Studies like this will be ignored or discounted, but they are at least based on facts.

Personal fruitless cherry tree, Jim hates yard work, lawn, unusual weather 1 Comment
I really do, every once in a while, some yard work. At least in the front yard, where I see it all the time. Not to mention the traffic on Tulare Avenue. And of course it doesn’t help that, right across the street, “Jesus” is staring right at my yard!
I was going to do a “before and after” thing, but I forgot the “before”! Trust me, it wasn’t this pretty.
Ok, “pretty” is a bit of a stretch… ” neat”. “Neat” is a better term. It wasn’t this neat. I was going to mow and trim the front, then work on the back yard a bit too. “Unfortunately” (snicker, yeah, unfortunately) I filled up the yard waste can with the front yard stuff. The back yard will have to wait. Say it with me… aaawwwwww. A couple of more pictures of the front yard after the jump. No pictures of the back yard. They’re much to embarrassing.

How’s this for a birthday bash? Oakland’s gay community got together and decided to throw a big street party in honor of my birthday!
Such thoughtful folks! And so many adorable men! Even Chaka Khan was there!
Sorry about the audio, iPhones just can’t handle loud bass. Or just plain loud, for that matter.
Here are some random pictures from the day…
