It's 419, Do You Know Where Your Dealer Is?
by Steve West on April 19, 2008

It's the eve of 420 and you don't have to be high to enjoy the following links, but it couldn't hurt.

When this clock goes into production, it will be featured in my den.
Smart dog or dumb dog? Breeds ranked by intelligence.
Interesting website that challenges people to re-create now, a photo from then. Some are quite surreal and pretty amusing. Youngme - Nowme.
Ballpark promotions that went wrong.

Various images that made me laugh (sometimes humorlessly):
Current resident
Your pet as a rug
If Homer's car were real
Hillbilly Christmas gift
Which is the bigger idiot - the guy dressed like this or the guy who is willing to drink?

Easiest job in the world? Caribbean weatherman. Practice that delayed over-reaction, will ya!
If I had had a treehouse like these I really would have gotten into the Guinness Book of World Records.

No way! Of all the dogs I ever met that could be classified as dumb, all but one was a lab. Any list that comes up with anything else as the dumbest dog ever is lying, and any list that puts a lab on a smartest list is full of bullshizz!

The one outlier was a weimereiner...however you spell it. I don't condemn that breed, though. :)

I can only personally attest to the border collie's intelligence. That one is spot on.

I'm surprised no one in particular *coughamycough* has commented on the Bulldog being third dumbest. Especially after my anti-Gator comments... ;)

Post Florida is Literally Murder

Brenda and I recently returned from a wonderful week spent in Sarasota with Scott and Kelly. Lauren and her husband, Jon, were able to fly down from ND to care for Olivia while we were travelling. The trip started as a mixed bag of positives and negatives, as the people in the row in front of us spoke incessantly and at an annoyingly loud volume but the young lady who shared our row was delightful.

Hair's The Thing

I just got back from getting a haircut. I sat in the chair at a local salon and reminisced about my childhood and accompanying my father to his weekly hair trimmings. We went to a pretty old-fashioned Mayberry barbershop in suburban DC that was the Italian version of Floyd's. Go »

Stay-cation Week IV

Brenda had a minor medical procedure today so we dropped the girls at Grandma's house for the majority of the day. Got through the procedure and had a nice lunch (just the two of us) at a local restaurant. I had a steak sandwich that was very tasty except it was served on ciabatta bread. Go »

Let Loose The Pigeons!

I got a phone call today from my Service Coordinator of Prince George's County officially welcoming me and my daughter, Olivia, into the Autism Waiver program - a state funded program intended for families with an autistic child offering funds for state approved services such as Aqua therapy, Occupational community trips, Speech therapy and even respite for Brenda and I. This has been a nine year wait since getting a diagnosis for Olivia at age 2. The waiting list is horrific. Go »
