I love Picasa. The jazz 'stations' are fantastic and play incredible selections. There is an almost complete lack of 'Smooth Jazz' which I avoid, in much the same manner as I avoid mass production American lite beer.

Plus there a complete lack of Kenny G. I have not heard one Kenny G song. That is a plus.

Watching Australia with the wife right now. Pretty boring. Lots of wide open panoramic shots of grand vistas...and terrible characters and dull dialogue.

I know it might now seem like much, but that gas station I stop at for smokes did something really cool this morning. Se,, I always use them becuase they're the only ones who carry my smokes (Djarum Black Menthols). They know me enough that literally as soon as I walk in, they have a pak on the counter and rung up. So I grab a Jumex guava nector and some Pop-tarts and go to the counter...and find my pack waiting for me. I swipe my car and wait. The register beeps and he says to me "oh, it looks like the satellite link is down".....*looks around*....." just take your stuff and come back like tomorrow or whenever in the morning and remind me and pay for this later".

Pretty damn nice of them for a cutomer who has been a regular for like 3 years.

I used to have a gas station guy like that with me. I like having that kind of understood relationship with people throughout your day. Same as the guy at Starbucks who knows my order as soon as I pull up.

Evelyn at the Circle K comps my morning coffee occasionally, but I brought a shovel from the house two years ago and corrected a drainage problem for them. It was rendering half of their parking spaces unusable.

For my 1,000th post, I will say this:

People who say shit like "I/she/he looks like she/he's on crack in that/this picture!!" should be forced to actually do the drug they're talking about, because they obviously have absolutely no idea what they're talking about.

Drug ignorance is one of my major annoyances.

Dammit.

Stopped to put gas in the Tacoma on the way home...and discover that I can't unlock the gas flap. Lock won't turn, and I don't want to snap my ignition key 2 miles from home.

Drive home, nearly on empty. Try my wife's key that we had made right after I bought the truck a few months ago, still no luck. Sprayed the help out of the lock with that white graphite stuff, still nothing.

I'm about 10 minutes away from crowbarring that sonovabitch open and replacing the lock mechanism with a bigass magnet to keep the door closed (improves fuel mileage and cures arthritis too).

Joe Perez 08-12-2010 08:56 PM

It's time once again for another look inside the state of light rail commuter transit. But first, a general observation:

St. Louis sucks. It's too damn hot and humid here.


Ok, so I just flew in, and since I'm staying downtown by the arch, I took the Metrorail from the airport to 8th & Pine.

Now, at the airport rail terminal, there was the usual row of farecard vending machines, so I bought a single-ride card and proceeded out to the train. Got onto the platform, boarded the train, rode it downtown, got off the train.

And never once did I see a single turnstile or swipe my card.

They sell tickets, and yet at no point do you actually have to use the ticket. There is absolutely no access control. And not just at the airport. I started eyeballing every station we stopped at, and there's no fare control of any kind anywhere. You just walk up and get on the train.

In fact, I just looked at the ticket I bought, and there's no mag stripe on it. It looks like the sort of ticket you'd buy at the movie theater (it's made of paper, and the machine printed the date & time of purchase on the front) but nobody anywhere asked to see it, and it's not like they have conductors walking through the trains checking them.

WTF? Does St. Louis run their trains on the honor system or something?

I'm just giving you a hard time. There are days I really miss smoking.

I once had a very old gentleman (ancient actually) tell me in a bar as we're watching a pretty good Beatles cover band "Don't drink, don't smoke, eat healthy...and live a LONG and BORING life."

Doesn't always apply, and there are lots of facets to the argument, but it's a decent, simple justification for many of our vices. If you don't actually get enjoyment, or aren't able to see benefit from healthy living, then just live, and expect to pay for it.

It's a rare morning when I have breakfast. Today it was a banana and a Fanta strawberry (this can will last me about 4 hours as I sip on it..not chug it). Only smoke 4 cigs yesterday...which is my average...sometimes it goes up to 6 or 7 if I am hanging out with friends or drinking.

5'11" @156 :/

I need to get into some kinda shape...sitting on my ass at a desk job is killing my motivation....but using the stairs to hike my ass up to the 10th floor (200 stairs) should start doing something for me.

I've always wondered about those commercials. So how long do you have to workout exactly? As in number of months. Some of those guys go from being 250 with the muscle mass of someone who is 120 to a lean 190 by working out for just 20 minutes a day, three times a week. I call bullshit.
