Good 32º morning. Good thing Sami's party was on Saturday because yesterday was windy, rain, corn snow, and just plain nasty most of the day.
The summit wasn't looking good...
well, except for the California side....
As I was on my way to Brian and Jen's Saturday I took a picture of the gas prices (notice 4.17!)
.... this one is from last year at this time...
Email chatted with BFFF .. Jeannie and Bill are in So. Cal desert near Palm Desert... Indio. They were going "geocaching" ... a game played with GPS and you find the 'cache'...
It sounds like a lot of fun!

1918 – Moscow becomes the capital of Russia again after Saint Petersburg held this status for 215 years.
2009 – Financier Bernard Madoff plead guilty in New York to scamming $18 billion, the largest in Wall Street history.
And births this date include....
Dinner last night.... I mixed a small can of crushed pineapple, diced fine red onion, diced fine 2 jalapeños (seeds and membranes removed), and pulled the leaves off cilantro stems. Mix all with about a teaspoon of sea salt, juice of a lime, and I added a dash of lemon....
I grilled a piece of white fish coated with olive oil, garlic powder, and some chile con limon.
Topped it with the pineapple salsa...
The original recipe is on www.budgetbytes.blogspot.com but I don't like my cilantro chopped up and I added another jalapeño. Really tasty! Would be good on chicken too.
All I know. Nuff said. Trip to the dentist today for that 6 month thingy! Ciao.
