So what’s with the mid-month header change?
After 20 years together and 16 years of marriage, Somara has asked to call it quits. Why? A gazillion reasons why on both sides and in some ways I was too cowardly to ask for this as my birthday present … Continue reading

Thanks for the wishes and all, mellow day
Took it mostly easy yesterday. Had to get up relatively early to have some finishing touches done to my new car, goop they put on the windshield to protect it from all the damned rocks and gravel here. Then I … Continue reading
La Roche-Posay My Skin Track UV Sensor
Firstly, as I’ve had to tell some strangers…this is not a camera! Walking around with a disguised camera without warning people is a dick move. Why do you think those other people were nicknamed Glassholes. This is a cool little … Continue reading
Another toy tribute to a Caffe employee
Originally I wanted to make a Playmobil figure of Carlo as I’ve done for two other people at the Caffe who are very nice. The problem is that this chef wear a black outfit, not white. Besides being super difficult … Continue reading
Officially welcome my new car Harley Quinn
I want to officially introduce my new car I have officially dubbed her Harley Quinn because her exterior is a nice red and interior is black. As you probably forgot, my original Prius C was Vixen to match a lesser … Continue reading
