Come on guys… Gas has been over $4 a gallon for the entire month of April. Even 87 octane is more over $3.80 a gallon…
Can you hear my tiny violins after reading this article?

April in the desert?
What a weekend. The average temperature in my back yard was 95 degrees! It was 110 degrees in the sun and 98 in the shade when I checked it around lunch time.
I spent most of this weekend finishing the shed. It was slow going because of the heat. I did learn one cool thing… If you need to get roofing tar off of a utility knife, cut up some cardboard boxes with it. It was sparkling clean when I was done.
So I finished painting the shed, stained the doors, built the garden caddy and stained it. I had to cut off a few nails inside the shed for safety reasons. I caulked up some of the gaps inside the shed as well. I will do some final touch ups next sunday after everything has had a while to dry.
I have uploaded some pictures to the gallery.
Next weekend will be spent moving dirt and installing the last run of sprinklers. Anyone that wants to come help feel free to show up.

read those EULA very carefully
It is so important to read the fine print. This is absolutely outrageous. Even though I host my own DNS, I intend to move all of my domain registrations away from Network Solutions.
How can I tell the inmates in the asylum?
OK, so I grew up in LA Country. I spent time in The Valley as well as the High Desert. I have seen my share of strange behaving people. You used to see a guy on the street talking to himself and knew “This is a person you need to avoid.”
Today I have noticed that tons of people walk around talking to themselves, or it appears that is what they are doing. Most of these people have wireless headsets and are talking to someone on their phone. But, are they really talking to people?
How do you tell if they are just talking on the phone or really crazy?
