From our morning walk.

Will this be the photo from this evenings meal?

Nope, but in a month or two ... then there will be this.

Hey New Yorkers, for the last few months the State of New York has been advertising on Tv in the LA market, trolling for investors/investments and recently, New York universities are advertising in the LA market.

I was wondering if there are advertisements for other states in New York?

University of Maryland, College Park used to - had a "Fear The Turtle" ad in Times Square. They used to draw some students from Jersey, not sure if they still try to recruit form there.

Just came from the tax lady...despite all the typing and frowning and sighing she was doing, I don't owe anything. I had income from multiple states this year and some other unusual circumstances that needed special attention. She seemed put out that I was not there with a cookie cutter situation. Well hell if it was easy I would have just e-filed myself like I usually do.

But... but... they're not in a row!!!

I'm curious if a $12 cup of Starbucks can process film better than a $3 can of instant?

 

[Gary A.]

According to our in-house expert, the crappier the instant the better the development. (Jon's coffee is so good it would most likely not even leave a trace of a silver bromide crystal.)

I love a good diner. It's one of the things I missed the most whenever I wasn't living in the northeast.

I die. *thud*

The first dentist visit for both my daughter, the dental assistants were dismayed because they found no plague.

That's a funny typo and I giggled

A cup of Starbucks coffee costs less than $2. It's all that other stuff they sell that people think is coffee that gets costly. If you just order a plain old cup of coffee, it's the same price as you'd pay for Dunkin' Donuts and only a little bit more expensive than gas station coffee.

And yes, the cheaper the instant coffee, the better it is for Caffenol. The chemistry of the robusta beans works better for developing than arabica, which of course is the higher quality bean preferred for drinking.

Gary spent the afternoon at Home Depot finding the best/easiest/non-Rube-Goldbergesque fittings and pipe to integrate his new 2" pond pump into the existing 1.5" filtration system. Gary is exhausted.

Cubs shutout Dodgers 4-0.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Anaheim is up 1-0 but it's only halfway into the first. What ducks do you have in a row?? I got redirected to something but no pics! It's too warm to wear my Ducks ugly Christmas sweater but I suppose it doesn't really matter for watching games on TV! lol Ooops Calgary just scored.

 

[Gary A.]

Gary lives halfway between the Ducks rink in Anaheim and the Kings rink in LA.

 

[vintagesnaps]

I haven't seen ads from anyone trying to lure anyone to here or outta here. Guess nobody wants us or wants to come here! lol probably for good reason.

 

[vintagesnaps]

So which team do you watch, none of the above?? lol or do you ever catch a game? Local hockey's over so all I have left is a hockey banquet, and may go to an ice show which isn't hockey but at least it's on ice.

 

[vintagesnaps]

Oh those ducks (now I see the picture).

I prefer ducks like the one that just slapped the heck out of that puck, and whichever ones helped send two Calgary players to the box.

Friend of mine is a big LA fan because he's a big Gretzky fan. I got to see Gretz play in one exhibition game when he was first with LA and he outskated his own team; they looked like the Keystone Cops trying to change direction to keep up.

Now why do you suppose they're showing a surfer and it looks like it's in redscale? It's a feed from one of the Canadian networks, I think they must be seeing everything in red & white what with the Worlds and CHL and NHL playoffs all going on.

(edit - Several more ocean scenes during breaks, always in red... I don't even know what the ads are for! lol and ducks just went ahead by one late in the second but I don't think I'm going to make it staying up for another period.)
