Food Snob Bakes Vegan Pie

 
Shocking headline I know.  I hope everyone’s alright.  I know we’ve had plenty sad news this week, but this will have a happy outcome.
Peaches.  I love them.  There’s not much I like better than a good one.  Alas, here in Paradise, good ones are few and far between.  When they’re here I have to decide [...]

Trafficology: Zen and the Art of the Right of Way.

I live in a place where it is notoriously difficult to get one’s first driver’s license.  Honestly.  The DMV here is fabled in story and song.  Actually, I just made that part up, but maybe I will write a song about it.  But, really, you hear the worst stories.  Kids try 7-8 times to pass the [...]

Regrettable Decision of the Day

My office is right behind Jack-in-the-Box and Taco Bell, and McDonald’s is on the end of the back parking lot.  Across the street is Safeway.  So it is impossible to go hungry here.  There’s also a Blockbuster and a water store in the building.  So snacks and hydration are no problem. 
Coffee, however, is another story.

And I thought MY life was boring…

Here is Kate counting her nuts. 
There is a point to this.  She will explain everything.  Check out Ol’ Dirty Barista.

When life gives you strawberries…

Last night I didn’t sleep well and was awake very early.  I pondered whether or not it was raining.  It wasn’t.  I heard the cats running around.  I thought about my hives (yes, hives–quite mysterious).  I contemplated my pathetic life (or lack thereof)–which takes a lot of thought.  Then I started itching (the aforementioned hives).  [...]

Obviously, I need material for this blog.

This is the contents of my bag today.  Plus my camera–which I had to use to take the picture. 
There is a bag-within-a-bag too.
It’s pretty uninteresting.  There’s nothing crazy in there. 
I definitely need some blog fodder–and some crazier crap to carry around.

Neighbor cats

Iao Valley

Yesterday I had the day off because it was King Kamehameha Day.  Kate had the day off because she wasn’t scheduled to work.  In the afternoon we went a few miles up the road to Iao State Park. 

 It was pretty hot in the house so I figured it would be nice and cool up there.  [...]

I added my Shenandoah Caverns photos to my Flickr account.  Here is a link if you want to see them a little better. Or you can view it as a slideshow here.
Someone let me know if it works!

Shenandoah Caverns

When we were in  Virginia I was wanting to do something exciting (or at least interesting) on our last day there.  One last thing. Something I couldn’t experience back home. I wanted to be a tourist.  At home we encounter tourists all the time;  I didn’t want it  said about me that I can dish it out and not take [...]
