I ate Dim Sum at a new restaurant: Chinatown. Well, not really new to me as this is where Musashinos (Japanese Sushi) is located at on the ground floor. Their claim to fame was that they have “higher end” dim sum. And I do agree that it was pretty to look at. But I do miss the old classics. It was also way more expensive than other dim sum (2.5 times more).

I wonder if they only serve dim sum on one weekend or is it all year long?

Another sign of spring time is the Mud Dauber wasps. At least I haven’t noticed them around until now. Is it wrong of me to take out their nests on my soffits? They are not particularly aggressive. Especially when I got up close to them with all my photography equipment.

As I was walking out to the parking garage it started raining. What was surprising to me was what the weather looked like at the time. It was mostly sunny and bright. And it reminded me of Florida when a lone raincloud in the sky would rain down and the wind would blow it over to on top of you.

I had a craving for B.B.Q. today and decided to drive out to Taylor for some Louis Mueller B.B.Q.. It was a 15 mile drive out there. When I arrived, the line was already to the door. Apparently, the credit card machine was giving them problems. I tried the moist brisket, chipotle sausage, and peach cobbler. Not bad at all. But not worth the long drive.

My oak trees are just bursting with pollen. Ugh. Fortunately, I am not having an allergic reaction to it. But it is impressive just how much resources it puts towards reproduction.

A friend took me out to one of his favorite local eateries: Enchiladas y mas. It was good. Although he was telling how packed this place gets and that you had to go early if you don’t want to wait. But it wasn’t busy today. Perhaps the recession is affecting people’s enchiladas cravings?

I woke up to find this snake warming up on the driveway. It took probably 8 years before I started seeing squirrels in the neighborhood. And now I am seeing a snake. Will it never end?

The pink sunset combined nicely with pink peach flowers with a slight pink tint via Photoshop.

I have been playing around with a Desktop Tower Defense clone game. This one is space based. And is quite fun to play. I just wish that the screen was bigger…

It took me a while to figure out how to survive some of the tougher levels. You need to upgrade the mineral miner. This brings your minerals from 80 mpm to 200 mpm! This is a 2.5x increase. This will help you get the income stream necessary to build the weapons necessary to stay alive. The other tip is to turn off the miners when you are severely under attack. Running out of power is to be avoided at all costs!

Although I do suspect that it was when I was trying to take pictures of Comet Lulin…
