Historically: Three coffee pots, two regular and one decaf = one half-filled decaf, one empty regular pot sitting on a burner that is on and one nearly empty regular pot This week: Two coffee pots, one regular and one decaf = one half-filled decaf and one regular with barely enough coffee to cover the bottom…
Passed by some teapartier peeps on my way to lunch today. Reading their signs reminded me of a little poem I have hanging on my cubical wall. This little ditty came from a Mad magazine published at some point in my childhood–a photocopy of which I’ve lugged around to every cubical job since, roughly, the…
If I was really down for tropical living, I would live in that area of the globe designated as the tropics. Just thought you’d be interested to know this in the event you were acting all hot and humid for my benefit. Love, Nick

Rolled out this morning with the Egg’s new dual-band Yaesu in full operations mode. Once I made it to what passes for an arterial in our neighborhood I fired up the mic on the 2 meter call channel. To my surprise I was answered with a 5×5 from someone also in the south of Bellevue.…
One of the things we tried a fair bit of while in Los Angeles was Yelp* when looking for places to go, eat, waste time, etc. I have to say it batted about .500 in terms of giving good advice. The closer in we were to the city itself, the better it seemed to do.…
The night sky in the nearby desert is truly remarkable. Have you looked at it lately? If not you definitely should. Love, Nick
