Why do I spend so much time in Guelph? Because we just don’t get weather like this in Oakland…

RCC at ORD B18
Friday, December 5, 2008
The RCC at Gate 18 in Chicago Ohare is really nice. It’s smaller than, but as nice as a lot of international lounges. The features I care about most and have been pestering UAL for for years (literally) have all been implemented now:
- Power outlets at every seat.
- Concordia espresso makers like in Europe that actually use coffee for coffee
- Free WiFi (this has been US wide for a year).
For a couple of years I’d fill out a complaint card every single time I visited an RCC (about twice a week all year, so about 100 cards a year for 2-3 years) asking for these three things, then email 1k and GS voice and beg and plead.
This is very nice. Uh oh, better run for the plane…

Ford Fusion Rental Review
Monday, December 1, 2008
The Ford Fusion is a perfectly capable, easy to live with car. It doesn’t stand out, it just gets going. It’s comfortable in a bland but competent way.

Pee Wee!!
Friday, November 28, 2008
We visited Cabazon to see Pee Wee’s big dinsaurs and it turned out to be a creationist thing.
In 2005 they were apparently purchased by Christian Developers who have turned it into a giant Jesus Horse Exhibit.

Speed Hump In Palm Springs
Friday, November 28, 2008
Developments in Palm Springs have some odd english. Who made these signs? Why? Didn’t anyone say anything? One of them was missing, probably taken for a souvenier.
