18 Things You Might Need

This was the worst article I have ever read about packing.

Here is an except:

On my last big trip, I learned that I didn’t need to pack my normal cotton underwears for the trip. I got myself some paper underwear which were good for one time use, and that was a great help I intend to follow next time I’m on a trip. It helps because I can live with wearing a slighty dirty shirt and or pants, but an underwear thats not clean is just gross.

Read the list and feel free to get defensive!

About Desert and Dessert

OK, so if you're thinking that 40°C is too warm, you're right. We just had lunch outdoors and we all started to sweat. However, 1°C drizzle sounds pretty awful.  In the desert "drizzle" is something that happens on dessert.

There's A Reason That I Love This Town

Google Dad 2

I just realized I can't see Dave's dad in the garage on my beautiful 22" monitors at work. That's a bit creepy. 

Google Dad

I love Google Maps. You can see Dave's dad in the garage, painting an Adirondack chair.

Lasik

Jen:    I wonder how they figured out they could do lasik eye surgery. Do you think they tested it on someone who was practically blind and had nothing to lose?
Dave: I guess they tested it on rats.
Jen:    How did they know the rats were near-sighted?
Dave: I guess they were always bumping into stuff.
Jen:    I would not want to do eye surgery on a rat.
Dave: I would not want to be a rat.

No Doubt Whatsoever

Peter: ...he looks like Beck.
Jen: I got Devil's Haircut on my running play list.
Sarah: Too bad he's a Scientologist.
Jen: I didn't know that.
Dave: Jerry Seinfeld is also Scientologist.
Jen: Is he?
Sarah: I thought he was Jewish.
Dave: Oh, wait. Maybe.
Sarah: I always thought he was Jewish.
Dave: Yeah...no, you're right. There's no doubt...I don't think.
