Ooh! Ahh!

You can learn so much from watching The Colbert Report.
I went almost two whole days not knowing that Mozilla Firefox came out with a new version until Colbert's guest mentioned it in an interview.
So I thought you all should know that too.
I just installed it, so I can't say how I like it yet. But hopefully, Firefox 3 won't keep updating itself like v. 2 did.
And if you don't already run Firefox, look into it! It's at least 50 times less annoying than Internet Explorer.

Not like you'd care...

...but I got a new watch at Walmart today. It's pretty spiff 'cause it lights up different colors. I needed it for camp 'cause my old one is too nice and needs a new battery and a new strap. So yeah, check it out:
I'm working on a video slide show of the Half Dome pictures, so look forward to that.

Blackout Shopping Fun!

There was a blackout this afternoon all over Poway. Around 5:00 pm, Emily and I went to shop for dinner at Henry's. But they were closed, as was Vons, because of a decided prohibitive lack of electricity. Fortunately, Stater Bros. has a very sophisticated backup plan for such situations. The lights and background music were off, which wasn't such a bad thing. And they have these retractable thermal covers over the produce, dairy, cheese, etc. which the flashlight-bearing employees opened for customers. It was kind of like a game of "memory", trying to remember exactly where they keep the bleu cheese. It was probably the most fun I've had grocery shopping in a long time.

Two Yosemite posts will be coming soon.
Until then,

Thursday incident report

Yesterday morning, we went to the park to walk. Beth (8-year-old sister) got a bee sting on her right hand. The poor thing. It hurt for a while, but fortunately it stopped stinging shortly after we finally managed to remove the stinger. We came home afterwards and Beth made her oatmeal for breakfast. I don't know how it happened, but she managed to spill it on her right hand. Now there's a huge blister on her right pinky. Absolutely nasty! She was in pain for most of the afternoon, but she says it doesn't hurt much anymore.

Last night Emily and I went to see Thoroughly Modern Millie at "The Church". Good times. Especially because the church is called "The Church". It was pretty good. We had fun.

We're leaving tomorrow to go camping in Yosemite. I still have to pack. Talk to you in a week!
