Sakura Matsuri
This weekend at the BBG. Suppose to rain on Saturday so we're gonna be going on Sunday. Who wants to go!? <crickets chirping>
If you act now you might even be able to meet computer genius #2, Mr. Chao at this event. He can solve all your java problems just like that.
We'll see if this year is any good since it is almost a month later than normal.
First nice warm weather day in quite a while.
My first outing on this beautiful day was stopping by the QMT
Fixing a power issue to our Axis video servers.
And the best part of it is giving some proper counsel to poor Dino, the internal security technician at this facility.
Being the straight shooter that I am, I say to him, "You know, you should be careful when you browse the web. Every mouseclick is monitored, and the network administrators can track malicious/suspicious activity emanating from your computer ports."
He seemed to listen intently as I worked on his computer and updating the adware scanner definitions. Hanging onto every word I said as if his job was on the line.
After I was done preaching to him, he was a reformed man. Swearing off any more lascvicious activity while at work and giving me the whole boy scout's third degree handshake. I had made a new friend. He even gave me a free tour of the rooms with future plans and construction upgrades.
I give him a few week. We'll see what happens in the reports. Damned grandpasex dot com. What will they think of next.

I was never one to exhibit signs of paraskavedekatriaphobia, however
today was definitely off to a bad start.
Locked myself out of the house and realized it as soon as the door closed.
Soon as I get to the bus stop, I see the bus has just left. But another one arrives
shortly and I wonder if my day was looking up. Alas, no.
I get onto the bus and my monthly metrocard has expired just the day before.
Then I try my backup card which had money on it for just such an eventuality, was also expired.
Those damned MTA people, now have free money from me which I did not get to spend.
On top of which, normally a metrocard will allow you unlimited transfers within a certain time period.
But by paying cash, you get a paper transfer which is not valid going from the bus to the subway. (it used to be a long time ago)
So what that means is I paid double for the price of one ride.
This is so good, all you guys need to subscribe to this if you're married or in a relationship.
Lions and Tigers oh my!
What an interesting designer breed of cat.
With most of these wonderful creatures close to extinction, mostly due to man, it is a bit ironic to breed these look alike cats in their memory.
It would certainly be a nice topic of conversation and you'd probably with the only one with it in your neighborhood.
pumpkin
Rated as one of the top 40th most beautiful english words. Yeah, who comes up with these? That's right, the British.
"Hi pumpkin". Actually that doesn't sound too bad. I wanna be a pumpkin now!
The love of food is international, but I wonder in what other languages this fascinating food fetish extends.
What other vegetables are terms of endearment? My Buxom broccoli, caring cassava, beautiful bok choy, swweet sweet corn, sweet pea, tantalizing tomato, cute cauliflower, pretty peanut, hot [cayenne] pepper, alluring avocado, etc
If you're having a great time in bed, make sure you let your partner know they are a wild leek, or a loving lotus or a crazy carrot.
We can't forget those feisty French and their love of food as well. But to be called mon petit chou - my little cabbage - is supposed to be romantic, a bit unsettling if you are not into veggies. However if you are a peach, you can be 'in good form'
By the way, steer clear of being a turnip and a pear, that isn't a good thing as you will be bad taste and naive in that order.
Next time you're on the streets ogling okra, make sure you compliment someone, "You're an awesome asparagus!"
