It’s sad to get Christmas cards for someone who used to live at your address. We’ve gotten two this year, but none last year. Maybe last year’s were still forwarded, and the forwarding order expired.

Doing my part to confuse Goldstar. The last ticket I bought through them: Equivocation, a serious policital thriller about Shakespeare and terrorism. This time: Xanadu, a musical comedy on roller skates based on an 80s movie.
It’s almost 2010. Why do OK/Cancel boxes STILL pop up while I’m typing & accept my “input”? I’m not sure what I just confirmed. Or canceled.

Co-workers arguing over how the circuit breaker in the lunch room is set up. I asked the critical question: “Is it still out now?”…and turned the coffee pot on. C’mon, priorities, here!

I have been at the mall for 20 minutes and I’m already overwhelmed. The children’s choir singing “Holly Jolly Christmas” isn’t helping.

Santa Ana Mountains Snow
Santa Ana Mountains Snow – Quail Hill View, originally uploaded by Kelson.
Monday’s storm didn’t leave much snow on Saddleback (though the San Gabriel Mountains were pretty well covered), but it’s been cold enough that I half-suspect this weekend’s storm will leave a bit more.
So here are a couple of views of the Santa Ana Mountains and the Irvine Spectrum from last December, seen from Quail Hill. The first was taken the morning after the storm ended. The second was taken the following day at lunchtime. I’ve also got a full panorama taken at the same time as the first photo.

I’m not sure light drizzle counts as “wind and rain,” but since I’d like to have water next year, I’ll take what I can get.

I’m getting word salad spam comments on my blog. It’s entertaining to read them in the vocal style of a Cylon hybrid.

Strawberry Flower

My wife and I stopped at a nursery to pick up a sage plant this weekend, and there was a shelf of strawberries with one solitary flower.
I have no idea how I managed to get something this sharp with my phone!

My internet connection is acting kind of flaky. Actually the connection is fine, but it isn't talking to some content delivery network, so all the small-time websites load perfectly, but Facebook takes 20 minutes to load a 16×16 “share link” button, and I have yet to see more than the title on PayPal. *grumble*
