A strange turn. It all started today taking Forest to a doctors appointment. She had hurt her hand and it was uncomfortable to drive. After the appointment we stopped at Ralphs for some groceries. After parking in the lot, i had my door open and I was installing my sun shield when the driver beside me began to back up. I did not even notice until she had struck my open door and knocked it closed (not very hard) against my legs. This is my new car, so I jumped up and knocked on the window of the car. “You hit my car!” I exclaimed while she continued to back up. “Liar.” I hear from behind a closed window. I see a minor scrape on the driver door of my new car and my tone and intensity grow.

An Air Raid Siren Woke Me Up This Morning. . .
Seriously, at 6:30am approximately. I was ripped from my slumber more confused then annoyed. Trying to figure out what it was. Not a car alarm, no modern alarm at all, but the rolling wail of sirens past. The only thing I could think of was the cold war era air raid sirens that have dotted the San Fernando Valley landscape. It rang out again at approximately 10:30am. We also remember hearing something last night at approximately 11pm. I drove down to the nearest to have a look and snap this photo. It looked just as derelict as always. No sign of hooligans. I may never have answers. According to the internet this emergency system hasn’t been used since a test in the mid 80s. Anyone else have a clue?
Interested in these things? here is a great map:

Throwback Thursday – be3n’s boyhood home!
I found more pictures of my old bedroom recently. Below, I cleared out my bed to install a pull out sofa (seen in next frame). It turned my high school room into quite the hangout. Also on display were some art and other decorations from that era. If you look closely, you can find Pez, impressionists paintings, comics, Magic packs, and a Sun optical mouse/mousepad. I wonder what others will find. My room’s walls were quite the collage. I’ve added more pictures including this 4up from my Nickelodeon Photo Blaster. Can you find Audio/Video tapes next to the original Nintendo? enjoy.
Parking in Santa Monica is serious
This is how I find my car after the vallet parkers have gone. What were they trying to do? What purpose does that chain serve? I may never know.
How long does it take to register a Somali domain?
I thought of a great domain for a website Forest was planning. Perfect timing for a great present. . . or so I thought. This has thus far been the slowest registration processes I have ever endured. Hopefully I will have it this year. I have purchased so many domains that I am accustomed to measuring in minutes. It has been all day! where’s my .so domain! I have to find out eventually. I’ll certainly add more soon.
UPDATE!
Purchased Saturday 10pm.
Running by Monday 10am.
