Chico bath


Chico is the snuggliest dog ever. He loves to cuddle up under your chin and sleep under the covers with you. He also likes to roll in shit....hence, he finds himself in the pantry sink quite often for a scrubbing, which he hates.

Kenny learns about video...ooooo.aaaahhh

Walmart is the worst place on earth

My car battery died Friday night as I pulled into my driveway. OK, that's kind of good.

The next morning, I got up early and decided to go to Walmart and get the battery replaced. That was bad.

I NEVER go to Walmart and now I know why.

I got there at 8 a.m. along with ONE other person (who also happened to have his battery die when he got home Friday night, weird) and waited for 2 and a half hours for them to put in a stinkin' battery, which they told me would take 30 minutes tops!

GRRRRR!!!!

I had some time to kill so I wandered around the retail giant and here's what I learned.

They have random Raider stuff just scattered throughout the store for no apparent reason. No other teams, just Raiders (well, one or two LA Dogers things, but that's it). I wondered if it's because Bakersfield is a big Raiders town or is Walmart the big fan?

Don't know.

But here is some Raiders stuff you could find in the blanket and sheets section.


The clothing and placement of things was also interesting.

Here, in Juniors, all tops were made for very small, kind of slutty girls.

Then in the aisle was a massive display of every kind of donut you could want.
And right around the corner from the skinny slut tops and past the donuts, yup, the moo moo section. Because at Walmart, you either fit into the skinny slut stuff, or it's extra large all the way.

Raiders slippers.

It's hard to get the feel for this "outfit" which I found in the slutty section. But the top is very small and open practically to the naval. It is paird, obviously, with the micro denim mini. Slutty lumberjack?

You could pick up Raiders ponchos in the hunting section, of course.


And here's a funny decal on a car parked outside Walmart, which I think explains so much.

Friday night

Mexicali, Silver Fox, Guthries.
These gals KNOW how to party!

Dave and family

I stopped by the Madera estate for a few minutes after the reunion before I drove home and here's my report:

Dave in his okra fieldShe's unbelievably cute, isn't she!?

Robert was suspicious...but willing to have his tortilla and wait it out


Family at the ranch!

High school reunion...um...27th!



















Random stuff

I took this w/my phone. It says, Republicans for Voldemort. The wine bar at the MetroGalleries is closer to reality!
I took this for my pal Denise (Zapata)!

Larry turned 50! Hey, had to happen sometime!

Larry shaved his long time beard and got a flat top for the occassion. He'd let himself get as shaggy as ZZ Top before the event, so I knew to look out for some drastic change.

But others weren't so forewarned.

When he walked into the house (Barb and Al graciously offered their place) Barb didn't recognize him. And other longtime friends actually introduced themselves to him.

I knew him right off the bat though.

Anyway, we all decided this was his Lt. Dan look.
The cake was a masterpiece. You can see here the model used for one portion. Oh, and it actually tasted good too!

Is it cake? Or is it cigars and an ashtray???
