New Jersey

So, we left home last week amidst the worst snowstorm in the Pacific NW in 40 years (give or take a decade!) Fortunately our flight from SeaTac left more or less on time. While our flight was never officially delayed, we did actually leave 2 hours late... check-in was a little weird. We had to get into a 400' long line and stand there for a while. When we got to about 100' from the counter, they grabbed us and put us in the e-line. We got to Newark and made it to the relatives house in mostly one piece. It was snowy on this end too... but much colder.

Next post... OLD BARNEY

Spotted Dick.

What exactly IS this? I saw it and had to buy it... but what is it, really?

Cooking instructions say: Place can in a large saucepan containing sufficient water for the can to float, at least 2½ pints. Boil gently for 35 minutes. NEVER ALLOW SAUCEPAN TO BOIL DRY! Add more water as necessary. TO OPEN: To prevent spurting.. (ed: It can spurt if it get's hot? Imagine that!) hold cloth over can opener when removing can top marked "open this end first". .... By the way... If you want to cook it in a microwave... remove it from the can.

STOP

  So, this is a picture of a Stop Sign that I took to try out a new Geotagger and the associated software. It works pretty good!Yes.. the picture is crappy... that's because I was playing with editing tools in Picasa and came across the "Add to Blog" tool as well, so I wanted to try it out.
