Taiwan Whisky "beats" real Scotch... 5 Comments

Too funny;

It appears that the rest of the world is catching up with the famous Scotch Whiskey, in a British blind test , a Taiwan whiskey beats both the Scotch and the English whiskey...

Let it snow let it snow... 18 Comments

So Indy finally got hit with some snow, actually the ~~3rd~~6th most snow in a day or so (per the news), around a foot in my area of the woods.

The ride home on the day it started proved to be a slow one, so when it got to a crawl I grabbed the chance to take a couple of pictures.

Driving in the snow

Most people still don't know how to drive on snow though... you know its not the speed that kills you, its the sudden stop. So if everyone stopped tailgating in the snow, we all could actually go a bit faster too... unless you are the first in line and is scared, scared of going over 10 mph...

Snowblind

Anyway it kept snowing through the night, so the day after it was nice to be able to stay home and work from home rather than having to spend hours driving back and forth to work. Especially because it would have meant to clean the drive way of snow first ;)

After Christmas hell... 5 Comments

I have finally been able to put this in a perspective that allows me to write a few words about it ;)

I am of course talking about our trip to the mall after Christmas, or the after Christmas sale or whatever...

Juli got a Build-a-Bear credit card, and since they gave us 10% off if we used the card prior to Jan 4, off we went to the mall...

Luckily not as bad as black Friday, but bad enough for me anyway :)

Lost in the mall?

The wait for the build a bear was, as expected, long... long enough that I had time to take a game back to one of the other stores in the mall, and even get to participate in the "amusing" event of standing in line.

The line

After the animal was picked out, it was more standing in line waiting to get it stuffed and dressed...

Juli getting a bit bored?

In the end we got done and could get a bite to eat in the mall as well, before we went home...

What to eat, what to eat..

Wall posters 0 Comments

As I mentioned over at the bluviews, I spent 3 hours at Juli's school, supporting Riley Hospital for children , so of course I had to click a few pictures...

I thought I'd give you the gyms wall posters here. All taken from the same position, I was lazy and there where too many crazy kids running around ;)

Some nice pointers to follow I think.

Be the best you can be

Who you are begins with what you do

Never settle for less than your best

Be someone others can depend on

Be someone you can be proud of

And then there is Harrison watching over the shoes...

Got shoes?

Ok so some of them are a bit blurry, but you sit there and take pictures with several hundred kids (Ok maybe around 30) running around while screaming and shouting... :)

Moon closer than last week... 4 Comments

It seems to have been mentioned a'plenty of times already, but the moon is closer now than it has been for a while, and from what I have read it been 15 years since it last was this close and there was a full moon at the same time.

So here is my documentation:

Time for E-Cards... 1 Comment

It is the Christmas so I guess it's time for some pesky E-cards again. At least some of them may be from someone that wants to take over your PC.

Got this in the email today, my advice to all, don't click, just delete. If you don't you will infect your PC with a trojan and will run the risk of having your PC taken over by some jerks.

Fake Hallmark card.

Circle of Lights 30 Comments

Perhaps a misleading title, and a bit early, but every year this Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument inside the Monmument Circle is dressed up with 4,784 lights and 52 strands of garland to become Indianapolis christmas tree. This picture was taken this summer, obviously before the light have been added and turned on.
