We're on the road to the Cape and my first official "Vacation" photo was
of an ice cream man at the drive up at McDonalds. You just *know*
vacation will rock when that's how it starts!

A Packing I Will Go
Packing to go on vacation = fun and exciting because the whole vacation is just a week of possibilities waiting on the golden horizon.
Packing to come home = sucks.
We are doing the former. In a week, we do the latter. I will have my laptop with me to pull photos off my camera, and apparently the house has wifi, so you may just have something to read/look at over the course of the week, depending on how often I pull out the laptop.
I know you’re going to miss me, so I’m going to remind you of a game I rediscovered (via a bookmark I made of it) so that you can keep busy. Idle minds being the devil’s workshop and all.

Happy Fun Food
Happy Belated Laundry Day!
Yesterday was laundry day around Casa Des DumpTrucks. I think I personally did 375 loads of laundry. I know that there were parts of the floor I hadn’t seen in months that are now part of the family again.
We celebrated laundry day by, um, doing laundry. We also took in a showing of The Simpsons (only a couple of iffy words, I was more concerned about the content of the preview for Good Luck Chuck, or whatever it’s called, which seemed to me to be more R than PG-13, given that the entire thing was about sex) and got some shampoo at Target. (Pantene, I got the one that has shampoo and conditioner combined because I’m so damned lazy that I cannot be bothered to do them both if it involves flipping the cap on two different bottles. I haven’t done a 2-in-1 shampoo since Pert was first introduced in the Middle Ages and I hated how greasy it made my hair.)
Oh, okay, we also celebrated laundry day by playing a round of Travel Blokus (tip ‘o the hat to utterwonder.com for bringing Blokus to my attention) and Mario Party 8 on the Wii. And then I ended laundry day by pretending I had enough money to buy a wide angle lens for my camera. (Anyone have an opinion on the Sigma 10-20mm? Is it too slow to use indoors?)
Okay, so I added a script to the page that will automatically turn key terms into Amazon.com links. Let’s see how much of the above ends up sending you all on shopping sprees…
Used Bidet? No Thanks
Saw a “news” article this morning that something is planning to sell Jerry Garcia’s stereo speakers and bidet.
His bidet.
The thing he used to clean his arse with.
Okay, no offense, but why on earth would someone want to own such a thing? I know that there are people out there who are gigantic fans, still, of his, but really, do you need his bidet? What about his toilet, he probably used that a lot more than the bidet. Or was there a urinal cake somewhere that he peed on?
It looks like the proceeds from this sale will be going to charity, so I’ll cut them a little slack, but please, people, if any of you want to buy my used appliances, contact me offline so we don’t have to deal with the embarrassment of holding a public auction.
