Foto Friday: More View for YouWhat's that I hear you say? "Let's see more of that great view, Angie!" Why, glad to oblige! Sunset over Maalaea Bay, July, 2009 The island of Lanai is in the background. I had to go out into the road to get that one. I have a more spectacular sunset that I didn't have to get out of the chair to capture. I'll post that in a week or two. When I was looking for a place to live I'd see places advertised as having a view, and thought, "View, Schmiew. I don't need no stinking view. I do want walls of my own: no sharing." But it's nice to have a view. I had forgotten how very very much I missed living in the country. It's so quiet and peaceful. It reminds me of my grandmother's house. You could bathe in the silence in that place. (Grandma had a sweeping view of majestic...cornfields.) The other night I was lying in bed and heard...footsteps. Very slow footsteps in the grass outside. Oh, no! Someone's prowling around! I waited for a moment, and then I heard, Phlphlphlphlp! It was the landlady's horse.

Foto Friday: A Room with a ViewDoo doo doo, lookin' out my back door... UPDATE: Oh, great. No sooner do I post my new view, than I wake up to find it gone! Someone has stolen my view! And now a helicopter is buzzing the neighbors' house. Are the police on the case, or are view thieves using helicopters now? (Actually, we're just having some fog this morning. Worst since I've been here. Don't know what the helicopter's about, though: that's just plain weird.) Labels: Foto Friday, Hawaii Sunday, July 19, 2009

Weather ReportInstapundit has a round-up of weather reports from around the nation (says it's chilly in Knoxville). A friend visiting the Northeast says it's cold there. Meanwhile, in Houston, it's in the high 90s (as one of Glenn's correspondents notes). It was 104 at the end of June. Niles bought me a nice wireless weather station for the new home, but strangely enough, he doesn't want to hear about the weather... Me: Overcast and 75 degrees at 2:30pm, with an overnight low of 56. Niles: Shut. Up. Hopefully Foto Friday will resume next Friday with fresh pics. Monday, July 06, 2009

A Lesson in GeographyInstapundit writes:
Except that the intersection of Stevens Creek and Winchester is in San Jose, not Sunnyvale. A Sunnyvale man is quoted at the top of the article, leading to Glenn's confusion. I post this EXTREEEME trivia because a) I am always nostalgic for Silicon Valley, and b) I'm trying to stay awake for 45 more minutes. I am still in the midst of moving. I am now safely lodged in the new home. I love it. For one thing, I am now safe from tsunamis, here on the volcano. The mountain decided to herald my arrival with an earthquake. 3.5, I believe. No tsunamis are known to have resulted.
