There is a new and VERY fun/exciting item in No. 6:

Yesterday I saw a tourist risking his life on a busy street trying to get the perfect photograph of … a gas-station sign! Yep, that’s right, here in Cal-ee-fornia, we have even higher prices than they do wherever you’re visiting from. Steve said to me recently something I remember Bridget saying once, that the only way our country is going to invest in alternative, more planet-healthy fuels is if gas prices increase past the point where drivers use gas without thinking about it, in order to create opportunities in the marketplace for competitive forms of fuel and transportation to court consumers.

We had a fun visit from our friends the Kadoshes the other night. Take-out and games, including GTA IV. I’ve been seeing a lot of GTA billboards around town, and they sort of screw with my brain. The thought of Niko not being someone who lives in our living room, whose decisions are made by us and us alone is troubling. That there could be OTHER Nikos out there … it’s unacceptable to me, like if I saw a clone of myself cross the street in front of my car or something.

In case you didn’t notice in the video, Aunt Cheri is here. [smile]

That video was awesome! I love how Violet is transfixed by what’s happening on the Wii.

I think she is transfixed by her Dad.
Cherei looks great, but that little Eskimo baby is adorable
And Stevel is absolutely right. A Senate Sub-committe had the Oil Execs on Capital Hill for hearings. The Oil companies again are recording record profits for this past quarter. It is time for the failing Auto industry to take matters in to their own hands. They have a vested interest in developing alternative sources to save their own butts.
Go Hydrogen, go ethanol, go methane (pig farmers and whales would benefit as well as the environment) go urine (a self sustaining source).

Or, we could walk our fat, lazy, spoiled, ignorant American asses to the corner store.
