On Street Sweeping

I walked out to my car earlier today and found a parking ticket on my car. Actually, I found two, because L's car was parked right in front of mine. You see, on our new street we have street sweeping on the second and fourth weeks every month. Ok, that's fine I suppose. But, and here is our concern dude, I don't see any benefit of a street sweeper having gone by. I don't even see any evidence that it has gone by at all. I think the city of San Diego might just be sending around the meter maid in its place. Its a crafty plan to plug up those budget woes.

Well, anyway, I think street sweeping is a waste of time and resources. Needless to say, this $80 boondoggle put a damper on my outing to buy a Britta pitcher. Lousy city.

Road Trippin...

Here we are in Carson City (pictures to come later) visiting L's grandparents. Its been a fun trip thus far. Five days out on the road. We've seen a lot of historic places in California. Hopefully, we'll be putting together a project in August where by we get to use some of that new found historic knowledge. Either way, we took some pictures.

Two of our biggest problems on this trip do have something, at least in theory, to do with the purpose of this blog. One, my attempt to buy an iphone off ebay and make it work right has hit some snags. Sometimes, you just can't save your way out of a situation. Second, gas prices around California are at $3 a gallon. This is unfortunate. Money is being hemorrhaged right now. We'll have to do something about that.

Road Trip - Day 3

So, last night we stayed at the Cambria Pines Lodge in scenic Cambria California. You'll all see pictures later of course. Anyway, what a terrible hotel. The walls are super thin. The floor creaks so badly that I can't imagine that its nice to stay underneath this room. The shower faucet is falling out of the wall. To top it off, the hotel bar was wicked expensive. I mean, two cocktails cost us $15. It wasn't even that great a bar. This place probably has over 100 units, and it just isn't set up to handle that many people. Its quite unfortunate since the town has been so nice.

We took a trip down to Moonstone beach and grabbed some jade. I'm not sure why. Habit I guess, or maybe nostalgia. I haven't been there in probably 20 years. A long time anyway. Then we got some Olallieberry pie. I'll spell that correctly later. It was everything you remember. Today we're off to find some jam from the same berry, and then its off to Monterey. Hopefully a short 3 hour jaunt up the 101. I'll keep you posted.
