Aw, another reason to love Cory Booker. And I've seen "Brick City" I thought I knew them all.(Wirefiends especially should see "Brick City")

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I have not seen Brick City but if you want to (a) fall in love a little bit with Cory Booker and (b) feel like The Wire let politicians off too easy, see Street Fight.

I feel compelled to do the llama drama sign after that rant session. summary: this woman got chewed out for taking out-of-town employee participants away from the hotel on night one of the conference (instead of them attending a welcome reception). The out-of-towners requested the leaving, but it was something only 2 of them did because of a personal relationship with this local employee. After getting chewed out, she proceeded to drive the same 2 out-of-towners to 1)an offsite dinner and 2) their departure at the airport. Wouldn't you have stopped? like told them sorry, you need to take the conference transportation the rest of the time? good gravy.

I am a bit sad to realize how cynical I am because I too LOVE Cory Booker and I am overwhelmed with sadness anticipation what I am sure is some scandal that will come out about him soon. mistresses, drugs, kicked puppies, embezzelment, something.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
No Lee, we cannot.
Hmph.
So I've discovered two things that may not have survived last night's storm: one of the Japanese Maples in my front yard, and the remote entry/locking system on my car.
I am hoping that letting them both dry out will bring them back to life, because I like the tree and I really really don't want to think about how much fixing the car will cost.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Amazing photos, sumi!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I did my one thing! Woot!!

I bet they'll be fine.

So that really was an unusual thunderstorm last night:
The violent thunderstorm that blew through the Bay Area Thursday night was one for the record books - it shattered rain fall records in four cities and produced more lightning strikes than any other storm in recent history.
The National Weather Service counted a whopping 750 lightning strikes across the Bay Area, said Chris Stumpf, a forecaster.
