WordPress Meetup – Milpitas
August 19, 2011
Hanging out afterward (almost 4 PM!) are a few members of a group that meets the third Wednesday of the month at 1:30 PM in the Milpitas Library computer room. (Kenna Mawk, R.I.P., had been scheduled to make the presentation at this meeting.)
Another group, complimentary to Milpitas, is starting in Saratoga. It will meet in the computer training room of the library on first Thursdays of the month, same time of day.
WordPress-Saratoga MeetUp Group <- 1st meeting is September 1st at 1:30 PM!
By the way, this blog, lincolnCt.com, is one of the simplest examples of what wordpress.com offers. (WordPress.org, on the other hand, gives you all the PHP/MySQL code to run on your own server.)

housing of the future?

Humongous storage facility being build on Curtner, east of highway 87. Looks like cellphone reception will be exceptional.

Crash at the Corner
April 10, 2011Echoing through the neighborhood this afternoon, the sound of a serious car accident. As usual, it was at Lincoln & Malone:

No one was hurt seriously except the passenger sitting in the right car. She seemed to be in a state of shock and eventually left the scene on a stretcher.
The little pedestrian with the scooter was also hurt, but I don’t know how that happened.
This intersection seems to be a more dangerous than most. Why is that?

Tokyo Chris
March 17, 2011Our friends have a son living in Japan. Skype allows them to maintain continuous contact with him, and report that he is doing fine:
Tokyo is 150 miles from the Fukushima nuclear-power plant damaged in the recent earthquake, but so far no one seems to think that current radiation levels in Tokyo pose much risk to human health.

taking a big, big bath
September 21, 2010The filter container burst while the pump was running, emptied almost all the water out of the pool, and flooded the garage ruining years of old New Yorker magazines!
Took some time to refill.

What Lurks Below
July 6, 2010It was seven or eight years ago when I started noticing a depression on the lawn in our back yard. Jumping up and down on it made me think there might be buried treasure.
I took a shovel and cut into the grass around the edge of the depression when suddenly whoosh! The circle of lawn disappeared. It was a sunny day and all I could see was a dark black hole. I must have turned completely white because all I could do for a while was stand there in shock.
That’s why they call it a “yardstick”, right?
Marleigh wants to know what I’m doing down there.
This deep, brick lined hole was the overflow for an ancient septic system. All the bricks were completely clean, with just one dry nasty pipe poking into it from the side.
One time I surprised some visitors by hiding in our “stink hole” and lighting my face with a flashlight when they peeked into it.
We eventually filled it completely with concrete slurry.
