I walked into the lobby of the building I work in this morning. It smelled like someone had just cut a giagantic fart. I walked on to the elevator and held my breath until I got to the top floor. It was that bad.

Last week we started working on remodeling our kitchen counter. The plan was fairly simple. We'll take the sink out its resting place, leave the Formica there, tile over top of it then put the sink back in. Whoa-la! All done. Needless to say things have not gone has planned. This particular trip down the rabbits hole started two Monday nights ago ( Read more... )

I've had Styx's "Come Sail Away" and Starship's "We Built This City" on constant repeat in my head since Saturday.

Beatrice got skunked this morning ( Read more... )

You can bet that if I was a refuge in New Orleans, LA right now and I was out of food and supplies that I’d be “looting”, too. Imagine this -- You finally ran out of supplies after sitting on a roof top since Monday. You swam around until you could find something to float on. You finally came to higher ground and could walk again. You pass a Circle ( Read more... )

Just in case anyone is wondering I was not shot last night. I was right near by the intersection of Jefferson & Woodward just before this shooting apparently went down. As a matter of fact, I was just about to set up camp up on a median right next to the Joe Louis fist when a cop came up and told me that I couldn't sit down on the median. So, I ( Read more... )

Went to the viewing for Steve last night. It was really sad standing around a funeral home with a bunch of guys you normally associate with rockin' goodtimes, ya know? It was weird seeing ole Hank in a suit. John and Adam weren't there yet. I talked to John on Thursday night and he sounded pretty shell shocked. The funeral was today at 11:00 am, ( Read more... )

Against my better judgment I went to the Magic Bag theater tonight to see a preview showing of the movie "Wonderland". The movie was good, but I'll get to that later. I parked at lot behind the Pizza Hut just up Woodward from the Magic Bag. I had to leave the movie early because I had to get to work. So, I walked out of there at about 11:10 pm ( Read more... )

I saw a roll over accident tonight. I was on my way to my parents house from rehearsal, heading west bound on I-94 near Belleville. This red Ford Expedition was in the left hand fast lane and skidded off to the left, then the driver way over corrected and flew across to all lanes of traffic to the right, narrowly avoiding hitting at least 4 cars.

Friday at work was a real drag. It was very warm outside, which makes it extra difficult for me to sit inside and work. I love warm whether. Anything above 85 degrees is awesome. Also, this is a pretty slow time of year as most people involved with automotive design and engineering work around the Metro Detroit area are taking vacations. Also, ( Read more... )
