Mom's Day is coming up and so I took another

trip to See's Candy Store for a box of milk

chocolates. Of course every time you go into a

See's you are given a chocolate to sample. Here

is mine. But it was just too early in the day so I

didn't eat it. I don't know what happened to it.

After See's it was over to Barnes & Noble where

I picked up another bit of sweetness: The Carpenters

40 Greatest Hits. Because of the price I'd been putting

it off. I finally succumbed.

Karen was a great drummer.

The Baskin-Robbins ice cream shop was founded in 1945

in Glendale, California. Burt Baskin and Irv Robbins offers

"31 Flavors" in their stores so that you may have a different

flavor every day of the month.
 

 My favorite when I was young was always eggnog, though in

later years I was partial to a few scoops of vanilla

with caramel topping.

Why do people do this?

Why do people dump such awesome furniture?

A couple of bicycle patches, some electrical tape and
a Wesson Oil rubdown and it would be like new. It's just too
bad that I'm not in the truck today. Yeah, just too bad
I'm not in the truck.

I love you my raccon.

Pazuzu at Borden Cinema.

I hate dust in the house. Over here in the mountains I

have to dust almost every ten minutes. Look at the

dust on my computer's subwoofer. Ack. It never ends.

I took a few pictures around El Rancho De La Tex today.

This cactus, and I don't know what kind it is, is

about to bloom.

I just noticed the thorns (or spines, not sure which) on

this guy. They are intense. Some of these thorns (or spines,

not sure which) are over two inches long. Falling into this guy

would be brutal.

I didn't see this when I was taking the picture. I managed to

capture a photo of a bug hanging out on a bloom. I thought

it might be a praying mantis, but now I'm thinkin' not.

A small succulent in a pot.

Spotted sprinting across the stage at Borden Cinema.

This is a scan of a picture of just a portion of the view

from a house that I lived in in Santa Monica, California.

On Thursday March 5th of this year Han Solo, ahem, I

mean Harrison Ford crashed his 1942 Ryan Aeronautical

ST3KR aeroplane on that golf course right on the

left hand side of this photo. Just another slice.

I bought this for a friend who is retiring.

She deserves room service forever.

My son received another nerdy Loot Crate and the

theme this month is "Fantasy". This great blow-up

crown was one of the things inside.

My son's rough-n-tumble cat

wants some attention.

Whatever you do...

Don't. touch. this.

I hope this movie is as good as the name. I mean, you don't

hear a name like "The Babadook" every day. It says on the

cover that it freaked William "The Exorcist" Friedkin out so

there must be something good about it. On the other hand,

sometimes printing something like that on the front of a movie

cover is a very bad sign. It means the movie cannot stand on

it's own. But anyway, I've been waiting a good long time for

this one to come out and we shall see.

I also bought a set of "dog tags" from a seller on Amazon. I have

regulation Air Force dog tags that were my father's. I have purchased

dog tags at gun shows. These pieces of crap are toys. I'm a girl and I

didn't have to try hard at all to bend them in half. It's the good

ol' "you win some you lose some" thing. I will try again. Huzzah!

I just love night and to me even Carl's

Jr. is cool when it is dark out.

"Pssssssst, hey... what are they goin' on about?"

"They say they want the redhead."
