On the hustle

Trying to finish my errands in California before flying back on Sunday. Spare inner tube for the bicycle, dry cleaning, car registration etc. It's so easy. In and out of the DMV in 20 minutes, pick up the dry cleaning no problem. Although why I had to bring a suitcase full of clothes that I hadn't worn from Africa to California to get them cleaned and pressed to bring back to Africa where I won't wear them really escapes me. Some things are better not questioned. Can't wait to get my shorts back on.

Some news items I found noteworthy:

• HP sells printers in Iran, well duh that's what they do and is it so dangerous?
• American broadcast TV goes digital February 17th. OK, so why is it that the PBS stations are the ones running the information on convertors and such? Do they just have the stupid viewers?
• Feds may open up offshore California for oil drilling. For a 17 months supply?
• Kickback scandal reveals that bribes exist in California? What a shock!
• English footballers behaving badly just like the yanks.
  
• Boats for sale ads increase on Craigslist. Maybe try to make one more house payment or just get out of town.
  
• The governator inducts class of 2008 into California Hall of Fame. With Dr. Seus and Dave Brubeck that's a distinguished group.
  

On the just like home notes, had a power cut on friday. But no generator man to fire up the backup. Just had to sit.
