Another After Work SURPRISE!

First there was Home From Work? SURPRISE Then came Off Work.. SURPRISE Today was part three in what I hope is only a trilogy in this Saga. Sorry. No photo to accompany this post, as there's nothing to photograph. When I drive to work, if the weather's okay, I'll only drive part way to work, park in free parking and then bicycle into downtown. This week was the first time I drove myself to work in months and the first time since last summer that I ditched the truck and cycled into the office.

Reaction from some people was that the car’s owner should be charged with negligence as their refusal to install an immobilizer facilitated this crime. So why on God’s green Earth, would I advocate against such a device? Well, honestly, I don’t advocate against these units. I advocate against a requir

The Moving Baby Swing

IF you have this swing, be careful. Some parents put a baby into a swing so they can do some chores around the house. Our baby loves her swing. She swings and naps, giving us time to clean up etc. Well on the weekend, I was doing some computer work, when I noticed little girl was right beside me. Check out the video. I called Graco to log a safety concern. They are investigating and appear quite pro-active at this point. I'll keep you up to date!
