Mikel and I stumbled across what we believe must the a lesbians dream come true for shopping. A shopping center that consists of nothing other than a home improvement/hardware store (Home Depot) and a outdoor/sporting goods store (REI).




Here is a photo to prove it exists.

Yesterday was fun. We both had the day off so we went to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We Mostly walked around but we rode the roller coaster. It really makes me want to go to a theme park. Perhaps when Nikki and Chris come to visit, we'll all make a trip to Six Flags San Francisco (which is really in Vallejo – the opposite side of the bay from S.F.).

Here are a few more photos from the beach.








Heh, here is me leaving footprints in the sand :P

I MISS STORMS. YOU GUYS ARE LUCKY.

OKLAHOMA CITY — A powerful storm system spawned at least two tornadoes and several severe thunderstorms, causing damage in central and northeastern areas of the state Monday, authorities said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries.

West of Oklahoma City, two tornadoes tore through sparsely populated areas of Canadian County, damaging hangars at the municipal airport south of El Reno.

Television footage showed debris from the buildings being lifted and flung about as the tornado moved overhead. Parts of the hangars’ roofs were ripped away and a couple of airplanes were moved outside.

Damage from the storms, which formed near U.S. Highway 81 and Interstate 40 about 40 miles west of Oklahoma City, appeared to be isolated, Lt. Stewart Meyer, an Oklahoma Highway Patrol spokesman said.

Nearby, employees and patrons watched as the twisters danced west and south of the Denny’s Restaurant along I-40, restaurant manager Danielle Landers said.

“We had about seven tables at the time,” she said. “There were a few people that wanted to go outside and see the tornadoes, but most people waited inside until the storm passed. We didn’t see any damage.”

Near Tulsa, a storm toppled trees and damaged at least one house, a mobile home and an auto dealership as it moved through around 1 p.m.

Resident Leslie Shanks said he saw a tornado twist a tree in his front yard and noticed that another tree had fallen onto the back of his house.

“It hit and was gone,” Shanks told the Tulsa World.

Some 2,618 Oklahoma Gas & Electric customers and between 3,000 and 4,000 AEP-PSO customers lost electric power at the height of the storms.

Service had been restored to all but 1,200 AEP-PSO customers by 8 p.m., officials said.

ya, I'm feeling it. Don't know how to change it at the moment. I think it's just my yearly-to biyearly lull.

SANTOS WINS!

I'm a little shocked by it, but not too much. Vinick (Alan Alda) gave a good run. I still half expect Santos to try and nominate him as the new Vice President. But I have a feeling the party won't let him.

I have finally finished reading all of Dan Brown's books. I have to say, Da vinci code is not the best. I think Angels and Deamons is the best, and Da vinci code is tied with Digital Fortress for second place.

All is well in the land of never-ending rain. Except that it doesn't stop raining. We are supposed to get rain for the next 10 days. Rivers are already near the flood point, and several levees have already broke.

Yesterday was mine and Mikel's 1 1/2 year anniversary. We didn't do much special, we just hung out and cooked and enjoyed each others company. Which was nice.
