Back to the grind

Off to work after my

690 day weekend.

.

I wonder if anything has changed in the biz?

Where are you now?

Just got word AND a tracking number! The G9 returns... soon... maybe in time for this weeks theme?

I see you!

This is where I mailed my camera.

.

El Paso road trip anyone?

An entire month

It's National Pomegranate Month!

Yes, an entire month dedicated to this antioxidant.

This is Halloween

.

.

A.K.A. All Hallows Eve.

The celebration of the dead on the eve of

All Hallows (A.K.A. All Saints Day.)

.

We celebrate Halloween with candy and All Hallows with stomach aches.

Subliminal Primates

.

...and now you are, too.

Casual Friday

An American and Canadian custom which has spread to other parts of the world where some offices celebrate by allowing workers to wear more casual dress.

Fun!

(Whatever.)

I prefer underwear only Fridays.

The New World - Give Thanks

Today in 1492 the Italian explorer Christopher Columbus arrives in the Americas making today Columbus Day. No mail. No banks.








Today across the border in Canada it's Thanksgiving. The Canadians give thanks for a successful harvest and don't seem to have any Pilgrims involved. But is there pie?










Two holidays - One day.

If it makes you happy.

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
(Albert Einstein)

If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad.
(Sheryl Crow)


Where else but This is Eric's Blog
can you find complementing quotes from Einstein & Crow?

Rainy days and nachos

A cool rainy fall day
calls for deep fried
Mexican food!
.
Olé!

What happened to Tuesday?

All day I thought it was Tuesday. But it's not. It seems to already be Wednesday. What happened to Tuesday? Now looking at my posts I see one from said Tuesday. Now I remember it. I remember it was the beginning of fall. That's probably why I blocked it out of my memory. That or the bottle of wine I drank last night. Mmm... cheap cabernet... nothing better than that to celebrate the start of autumn. I suppose I should have celebrated with an Octoberfest brew BUT I didn't!

Autumnal Equinox

5:18 P.M.
Marking the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere.
The sun crosses the equator.
The ecliptic and the celestial equators intersect.
The day and night are approximately equal length.
.
NOW it's time for Octoberfest!
Bring on the autumn beers!

Update in tomato land

A friend from another land (Canada) stepped in and might have saved the furry chipmunk by telling me that I may be dealing with tomato hornworms! Gahhhhhh!

This is what I now

have to look for

and possibly

d-e-s-t-r-o-y!

.

.

So much for the Critter Ridder I bought (organic furry deterrent).

Lots of cars

Today was the 15th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise here in the Motor City. Well actually the cruise takes place on the 16-mile stretch of Woodward NORTH of the Motor City. Over a million of people came to my hood to look at cars. I really don't understand "looking at cars" but it sure was a BIG PARTY! And an even bigger traffic jam!















not my pic

Early morning shower

Long ago Perseus may gave slain Medusa but tonight (or early tomorrow morning) his constellation will be showering down on Earth. In other words, the peak time to see the Perseids Meteor Shower will be tonight between midnight and dawn. Put on some coffee because it's going to be a late night out!

Rain in August

A much needed rainy day here.

But just remember:

"Never sell your hen on a rainy day."

Good bye, country life.

Ahhh, back to the suburbs and my suburban mini-farm. And by mini I mean 0.00165 of an acre. I can't imagine taking care of 10.5 acres. That's 10.49835 more acres! Who's got that kind of time?

Today in automotive history and today

Today in 1903 the first Ford,
a two-cylinder Model A,
was delivered to its buyer.


Today today (2009) Ford Motor Co. posted a second-quarter profit of $2.8 billion as the other two U.S. car manufactures come out of "poor management related" (cough cough) bankruptcy bothleaner, stronger, etc. and ready to ummmm... ummm... make cars and profit? I MEAN I MEAN bankruptcy due to unforeseen (except by the management at Ford) economic changes.

DON'T judge me. I grew up in a GM family and worked at Chrysler for almost 13 years. Just telling it how I see it.

Best food ever

Enough said.
