Explorer as Heat Lamp

I just like to state how effective a car in the sun is as a keep-food-warm device.
This morning, like most, I made two to-go mugs of coffee. Brought one into the office with me, left the other in the car. I just got it out....it's about as hot as when I made the coffee this morning!

Same goes for food. I make some microwave Boca food item in the morning, leave it in it's wrapper in the car, and when I get it in the afternoon......hot and (nearly) fresh!

Brilliant!

An amusing passage from A.O. Scott's review of The Love Guru:

No, “The Love Guru” is downright antifunny, an experience that makes you wonder if you will ever laugh again.

And this is, come to think of it, something of an achievement. What is the opposite of a belly laugh? An interesting question, in a way, and to hear lines like “I think I just made a happy wee-wee” or “I’m making diarrhea noises in my cup” or to watch apprentice gurus attack one another with urine-soaked mops is to grasp the answer. Please don’t misunderstand: I’m not opposed to infantile, regressive, scatological humor. Indeed, I consider myself something of a connoisseur. Or maybe a glutton. So it’s not that I object to the idea of, say, witnessing elephants copulate on the ice in the middle of a Stanley Cup hockey match, or seeing a dwarf sent flying over the same ice by the shock of defibrillator paddles. But it will never be enough simply to do such things. They must be done well.

Eric Moseley operates a charming inn here...

Although he spells his name differently now...

Recent Photos

Busy busy on the campaign trail. Got some St. Pete photos up on Flickr now. Not a lot from work because I'm careful about that, but there are some nice mild scenes from life here.
