Teen Hangout Discovery on the Trail

Out taking a walk on the desert trails surrounding the apartments we came across a teen hangout area atop a rocky mountain outcropping. Naturally we found a disgusting used condom on the ground amidst broken beer bottle glass and other paraphernalia.

Creepy.

inside it. Who would fornicate out there? Get a room, ferchristsake! ANIMALS!

Below is the site where the teenagers go to commit acts of sin and debauchery amongst the rocky look-out. Oh those filthy little degenerates! (Click to enlarge the high-res panoramic picture to see how sharp the new camera is).


UNGODLY ACTS have been committed amongst that rock outcropping!

It was icy cold out there walking around. My nose and cheeks felt the cold. I had a coat on, but I should have taken my gloves. It was a very cold day here today in the lower 40's. Tonight the temperature will drop below freezing (Weather.com Reno).

HOME PAGE UPDATES TOMORROW
Had to do some running around today getting supplies, the new camera and to my roommate's doctor which ate up a lot of my time. Along with that, I developed a very aggravating pain in my side just below my ribcage that suddenly cropped up complicating matters, especially while driving. Fuck, it hurts. Got so bad I had to take a pain pill and it still hurts, just slightly numbed. I think it's a pulled muscle. Must have done it when I mopped the kitchen floor twisting. Sucks to be out of shape and old as the dirt Jesus walked on... I thought the walk on the desert trail might help, but the exercise had no effect. I'm gonna drop a Naproxen anti-inflammatory pill to see if that takes it away. Hurts when I sit upright. Someone is poking a voodoo doll of me, I just know it!

I'll be digging up some new items for your perusal for the front page tomorrow. Gotta lie flat to see if that helps matters any.

Flash Of Light Interrupts Meteor Shower Above Reno
(See this link for related meteor shower videos.)

Something about the size of a basketball lit up the western sky about 11:10 p.m. Tuesday as it burned after entering the earth’s atmosphere, a Fleischmann Planetarium spokesman said.

It appeared the object was comet fragments and part of the Leonids meteor shower during the past few days, said Dan Ruby, associate planetarium director. But scientists concluded it was not part of Leonids and might have been an asteroid that broke free from normal rotation around the sun and entered earth’s atmosphere.

It burned so bright because it traveled at hypersonic speed, about 20,000 mph, Ruby said. An official at the Clark Planetarium in Salt Lake City estimated 80,000 mph.

“It could have been the size of a basketball and it most likely disintegrated before it had the ground,” Ruby said. “You’re pretty lucky if you see one of those because not many people get to see that kind of fantastic fireball in their lifetime.”

My New Kodak Easyshare Digital Camera

No more blurry, crappy pictures from that crummy, cheap Vivitar temporary camera I was using after my old Kodak DX3900 broke down a while back. I bought a new Kodak EasyShare C160 digital camera today. It was only $88.00 at Walmart and boy does it take great photos at super-high resolutions, including video (with automatic uploading to YouTube and Facebook feature), zoom to telephoto, action sports mode, face detection, flash, close-up setting and has anti-blur, anti-shake. It's all automatic, including the lighting, but it has a vast array of manual settings, back-light control, and much more. A vast improvement over my old Kodak DX3900 that I used for 10 years for all my websites that finally broke down a month ago. The new little EasyShare C160 model sports 9.2 megapixels and 3x zoom -- all that I need for website photos (in fact that's too much resolution for the Web, I have to reduce file size down to 1024 or 1280 anyway). And it's super sharp and takes great macro close-ups. It comes with Kodak EasyShare software which has a shitload of editing stuff I can use to crop and adjust instead of Photoshop -- for those things. I love the camera. Of course the store had other more pricey models with more megapixels and zoom and such, but this model suits -- no, exceeds -- my needs. So from now on, new pictures will be crisp and clear.

What better way to show the resolution than to take a photo of the Little Tiger Cat with all her stripes and markings? Click each to see the original uncompressed images to see the sharpness and detail of the new camera (large file sizes).

I've been lost since my original camera broke down, so today is a happy day of relief. Now I can get all the photos of the upcoming snow. It's 40-something degrees here today -- icy cold. People are going around with coats, wool caps and some with ear muffs on I saw when I was out and about. Snow is predicted on Friday morning, but we'll just see about that -- I think it's still too early.

Here is a photo of my booze stash in my bedroom closet. I have to hide my cocktail booze because my drunken roommate will suck it all up. I'm not a drinker, but I do enjoy a drink once in a while after din-din. I usually mix the whiskey with 7-Up. I've had this bottle hidden for quite some time and it's nearly full, that's how much of a drinker I am. Just don't like the feeling of being drunk. If I do drink some, I mix a shot with 7-Up on the rocks and only one round is all I can stand. This picture is here because I couldn't get a clear photo using that cheap Vivitar that didn't even have a flash. This is taken with the new camera and the original photo was monstrous in size -- poster size to be exact. I cropped it down and compressed it for the Web.

Whiskers as seen through the slats of a chair. Odd.


White Paws, resolution reduced down to 3.2 megapixels.
The store had more advanced cameras costing a lot more, but this one works great for my needs. No need to spend a fortune I don't have on a high-end camera. I just hope this one lasts me ten years like the old Kodak Kodak DX3900 did.

So now, equipped with a decent camera, I've got to get off my ass and go out and take some photos. Still have to test the video mode as well. Those will probably eat up a lot of space on the camera's memory chip.

Counters to Get Space Makeover

Charming thought, eh? Nice coated tongue.
Cum on A Taco... LAP IT UP Bum Stalkers.
Boy, the holiday push is in full gear on TV around these parts. Last night's TV watching was laced with Christmas commercials. But who's got the money in these times? Only society's privileged. Black Friday ads early, the tunes of Christmas... It's all ambushing us -- and the BURNED THANKSGIVING TURKEY hasn't even come out of the oven yet! Ha-ha!

For lack of anything better to write about (at this moment anyway), today's mental health project is to reorganize the cluttered kitchen countertops so that I may have more room to work joyously preparing Christmas cookies for all my minions of well-wishers, making rum cakes to share with my cherished loved ones, holiday punch to serve to all my guests who visit me incessantly during the holidays... Oh, I'm just such a social butterfly I just can't manage all the herds of well-wishers constantly knocking on my door bearing hand-delivered invitations to parties and dinners that I have trouble fitting into my social calender. It's TIRING being so loved and adored by man and feline alike. And all the GIFTS I get -- the jewelry, the mink coats, generous large-bill cash gifts in envelopes with poems of love written all over them in gold ink, expensive cologne from France, caviar and champagne handed to me by my multitudes of admirers gushing with compliments extolling my virtues, wishing my health good fortune with every syllable they utter ... yes, it's all just so TIRING, all this holiday spirit, being surrounded by such supportive, loving people in every direction who care about me so much. There's so much LOVE I can't stand it.

But I digress... back to the countertop reorganization mental health project of the day:


The microwave oven stuffed in the corner at the right in the photo above will be moved to the corner on the left in the photo below -- on the other side of the sink.


In the microwave's former place go all my gadgets: KitchenAid mixer, chopper, rice cooker, orange juicer -- gadgets that won't fit inside the dumbly constructed cupboards in this cell block of an apartment. I want the red ceramic cannisters in the lefthand corner to go in the middle where that spinning Lazy Susan is next to the blender so that I can have better access to them while cooking, instead of reaching for them on the other side of the sink.


Dumb wooden Lazy Susan filled with clutter get's taken out.
So everything gets switched around and cleaned, despite my feeling like shit -- because I am a glutton for punishment. I need SOMETHING to do to occupy my mind so I won't vent on ridiculous people and other irrelevant matters, and do something constructive with my time instead. Nice mental health trick, eh? Oh, the glory of organization.

RIPOFF REPORT: Supermarket Spice Price Gouging

Gaze at these two small 1.1 oz. containers of holiday spice. I have a story to tell about them.


I bought these two at Walmart priced at $2.72, which I thought was high -- however, yesterday I saw with my own eyes, these exact two bottles priced for $5.99 each at Scolaris supermarket at 5430 Sun Valley Road (see this map). I rubbed my eyes in disbelief at how that market had marked these two items up. But not only that -- I also saw a container of cloves -- the exact same size as these -- priced for $7.50! WTF?

I was glad I'd gotten them for half that outrageous price at Walmart. But it bothered me that others were paying Scolaris' extorted price for these items. The $7.50 price of cloves -- which are used on holiday ham, apple pie or in hot holiday drinks -- was total, unequivocal robbery. No doubt about it. I only wish I had my camera to take a picture of this disgusting ripoff to expose those fuckers for the greedmeisters they are.

They were laid out in a special section the store had set up containing ingredients needed to make various holiday dishes. I was so shocked I mentioned it to the store clerk there asking if those price signs were accurate and was told, yes indeed they were. Thus, the only thing I bought in that rip-off market was a 10-lb bag of russet potatoes advertised at $.99 cents -- a deal too hard to resist, as I'm gonna need to have potatoes around for Thanksgiving Dinner next week. I then left that supermarket vowing never to shop there again.

BEWARE OF BEING RIPPED OFF FOR YOUR HOLIDAY GOODS. Be smart and check prices. Don't buy if they are heavily marked up.

By the way, the same holiday section had cans of pineapple and mandarin oranges, along with marshmallows set out to make AMBROSIA (a recipe detailed in a previous post). But they forgot to set out jars of maraschino cherries that also go in it -- a fact I reminded the store clerk who worked that area of the store. Like, if you're gonna do something, such as set up a food display, at least do the job right! Actually, he was very happy about my pointing this failure out -- and knew of the recipe -- stating his grandmother makes the stuff every year. I just felt the NEED to be a good citizen by pointing this out so people won't go and screw up their recipes omitting very important items! We must preserve white trash tradition at all costs.

NO, I didn't buy any of that stuff for Ambrosia. ONLY the bag of cheap potatoes. That store price-gouges everything, but tries to CLOAK their greedy tactics by offering some stuff on sale. I don't like that trickery.


Clear, but blustery day in Reno as two storms approach...
As you can see in the picture above, Reno is DRY AS A BONE. In the coming weeks ahead that dry dirt will be covered with watery snow -- perhaps by Friday as is being predicted. Today is a clear, blue-skied day with blustery winds blowing the haze out of the valley floor. But this seemingly serene picture of the desert highlands may suddenly, drastically change in the coming days... I want the snow to come. Some do not want it. Some have auto accidents in it skidding on the ice... But I yearn to frolic in the bitter cold snow. And my meat-eating felines must feel its bitter shock upon their delicate pads, heh-heh.
