Steam engine time.

Sunday, November 1st, 2009

Last Sunday, a blood relative of mine was rear-ended while driving their Toyota Avalon; the force of the collision was sufficient to total the Avalon.

This Sunday, I was rear-ended while driving my mother back from San Antonio in her Toyota Avalon. Fortunately, it does not look like this Avalon is a total loss.

If you drive a Toyota Avalon, or are related to me by blood or marriage, please be careful on the highway until further notice.

(As a side note, Trooper Seth Fry of the Texas DPS was kind, polite, sympathetic, and made a stressful situation somewhat easier to deal with. My thanks to him.)

The jokes; sometimes, they write themselves.

Marc Katz has announced plans to run for lieutenant governor. 

I have nothing against Mr. Katz, and, indeed, he could be a perfectly fine officeholder.

But this raises the somewhat mindboggling possibility (arguably, a slim one) that the State of Texas could be run by a cowboy and a deli owner.

…here’s the link to the Wikipedia entry on Heil Honey I’m Home!

Edited to add: Lawrence provides us with a link. And a warning: “Some two and a half minutes in, it’s actually worse than it sounds.”

Yeah. I lasted about three and a half minutes.

Welcome to Whipped Cream Difficulties.

Tuesday, July 28th, 2009

Whipped Cream Difficulties is an occassional web log about things I find interesting. Some of those things might be:

  • Food (especially around Austin, TX).
  • Guns (especially Smith and Wesson revolvers).
  • Interesting items I find around the net (but I’ll try not to duplicate FARK).
  • People who died (died).
  • Popular culture.
  • Computer security.
  • Art, damn it, art!

This isn’t intended to be all-inclusive.

I work for a large four-letter computer company, but I am not an official representative of same, and will not comment on non-public information.

I welcome comments. Spam will be vigorously deleted.
