Price Fixing

Yeah.. and the oil/gas industry says there’s no price fixing going on..thats why a gas station in South Carolina is suing another gas station for…. wait for it…. setting its gas price to low!

Really.. I couldn’t make this one up… here’s the link to the SC TV station’s article about it..

Illegal Immigrants

By now, I’m sure y’all have heard about all the illegal (and I suppose some legal) immigrants who are planning on not going to work on monday in an attempt to fight immigration reform.

Personally, I think its mighty damn nice of them to group themselves in one (ok several, since they’re doing it across the country) big spot.. ought to make it that much easier for INS, DHS, and Border Patrol to pick them up and ship them back home. I would love to see Media reports of there being big buses and trucks at each ‘rally’ point… and all the illegals that gathered being herded onto a bus and sent the hell home.

4 Month Checkup

We took Maryn in for her 4 month checkup this morning. Her vital stats today were:

11 lbs 12.5 oz, 24 3/4 inches, and 41cm head. So..she is a healthy, teeny, tiny girl. Her weight puts her in the 10th percentile, which means that like 90% of the kids in the USA at her age, are heavier then she is. Height was a little better… she is in the 25th percentile there..and her head size, puts her slightly above average in the 51st percentile.

Teeny…Tiny…

Toddler Wisdom 17

“That’s Perfect!”

Said while I was hanging up a picture of the Denver Bronco’s Cheerleaders by my computer. For the rest of the time Kael was using the computer, he couldn’t take his eyes off the poster.

Kid’s got good taste the ’05 squad was full of hotties…

Can you say Gullible?

These ladies are probably soon going to fall for a email from someone in Nigeria telling them that a rich, distant relative died, and for only 100,000 dollars, they can have the sum of 150 million sent to them via western union…

In case you’re not sure what I’m talking about (and really, why would you be?) I’m referring to the two idiots in Florida (of course) that let someone claiming to be a Dr come into their house, get them undresses, and fondle them by saying he was giving out free breast exams.

From the article:

One woman became suspicious after the man asked her to remove all her clothes and began conducting a purported genital exam without donning rubber gloves, investigators said.

uh yeah… dumbass.. you don’t think maybe you should have been suspicious when he said he was a Dr, doing something for free, and not at the hospital or his office? did you even ask to see his ID? Probably not..

I’ve got a bridge I’d like to sell you….

Yummy!

I need one of these:

From the article:

As if the Hardee’s family of Monster Thickburgers doesn’t offer enough meat, the company’s latest version adds steak meat on top of an already large slab of beef.

The meat-on-meat Philly Cheesesteak Thickburger, launched Wednesday, features one-third of a pound of Angus beef, along with both Swiss and American cheeses, green peppers and onions. And piled atop all of that is thinly sliced steak meat.

Now, if only the closest Hardee’s wasn’t 101 miles from me (and yes.. I looked..its 101 miles)…wonder if I could have one shipped via fed-ex for same day delivery…..

Moving!

No…not us.. it’ll be quite a while before we move again..

Apple is moving.. they announced their plans to the Cupertino City Council the other day… they plan to build (and relocate to) a new 50 acre corporate campus..

Wonder if they can convince the city to move the 1 Infinite loop address the 1 mile to the new campus

Kael’s tattoo opinion

Janice sent me this email at work the other night:

Okay, so we’re watching “Miami Ink” and cuddling on the couch after I

put Maryn to bed. Kael asked what she was doing. So I told him she

was giving that guy a tattoo. The guy was being real dramatic about

it and crying out and closing his eyes real tight and saying “man,

this hurts so much”.

Then, Kael decided he wanted one of his Thomas tattoos. So, I start

putting his tattoo on, and notice that he’s got his eyes clenched

real tight and then he opens his eyes and says “why was he

screaming? This doesn’t hurt at all!”

Gotta love the kid.. he’s all set to go out and start calling people who say Tatoos hurt wimps…

1st Passover

Yesterday we took Maryn to her first Passover Seder. Unlike her big brother’s first Passover… Maryn wasn’t old enough to eat anything.. so, for her.. it was pretty much like any other dinner.. she sat there and watched us eat, getting passed around from person to person..

Next year though..she’ll be old enough to eat some of everything!
