There's nothing like a homeowner's association to take your mind off sad thoughts and focus your energy back into annoyance mode. This gem arrived today:
  • On behalf of the Board of Directors for Carlsbad Parkside, I would like to remind the homeowners/residents of the parking policies.
  • Parking on the street should occur only if a garage has one vehicle in it already and one in the driveway. I'd have to guess that most houses here have three vehicles. I'm not sure who is getting singled out but someone complained.
  • Please do not park in the wrong direction on the street. Please make sure you park your car facing the flow of traffic. This has been bugging me though. In the last month a lot of drivers are getting lazy.
  • Please do not park in a red zone at any time. We have red zones?
  • Please do not use the vehicle turn-abouts for vehicle storage or toys such as basketball hoops and play structures. No, it wasn't me and it wasn't the next door neighbor. She's been parking her car in the corner turn-around. We didn't complain. Everyone backs up even when no one is in the corners. And has the association not figured out yet that the playhouse and basketball hoop were abandoned months ago by former owners?

Sorry guys, no more parking in the corner. Use the driveway or the sidewalk. Run over the basketball hoop if you want though.

    I've seen a very large motor home parked in a red zone before, along the entrance street to your home. My association gives warnings first, then fines for repeat offenders of parking violations. Our biggest problem is people using the open areas as short-cuts, thus ruining the landscaping. A few weeks ago I saw a man walk through the ice plant in front of my condo. I gave him a dirty look but he ignored me with his ipod playing.

    And welcome home, for at least awhile.

    It's nice to have more parking than I can use and neighbors who don't complain. But it is good that the HOA at least trys to enforce the rules. I should bring my truck over and park on top of the playhouse and hoop. Maybe then someone will haul it away.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug

-
Most Hobbit minded people have already seen the latest installment so this is for those of you waiting for the crowds to go down. Part 2 is much better than part 1. This applies to all viewers. Where the gap happens if you have not read the book (including the appendices) you will probably like the whole movie. If you've read the book and taken the time to read the appendices, then you'll appreciate the back story that's presented here. The spirit of Tolkien is present and Desolation of Smaug fits well within what will become a 6 part movie. What I liked....The opening sequence. This is not in the book and I had to look it up in the appendices and sure enough, Gandalf and Thorin did meet in Bree. Thranduil and Legolas father/son relationship. I liked it. While only a mere mention in the appendices, in this movie we see Legolas loyal to his father. That Legolas doesn't mesh with the person he becomes and it will be interesting to see what happens to Legolas in the nex...

COASTAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISHCOLUMBIA - AND ALASKA....THE TSUNAMI WARNING AND WATCH STATUS IS CANCELED FOR CALIFORNIA - OREGON - WASHINGTON - BRITISH COLUMBIA - AND ALASKA... It's good to know that today's media is so excited for another tsunami, that newscasters managed to panic coastal residents for thousands of miles. My neighbor came rushing out her house to call out "tsunami" in 3 hours! She was ready to evacuate. We could not convice her that while we are near the beach, it is a good mile away, with a major freeway inbetween us and a nice rolling hill. She was still ready to go to higher ground, bathrobe and all. Luckily, the Weather Channel has announced the cancellation of the alert. I guess I can sleep now and not have to worry about being washed away.

Calgary, Canada - The Starfleet Experience

Against all odds, the Star Trek Starfleet Academy Experience was in Calgary the same time as me! It was interactive with games, Klingon language lessons, and the Kobayashi Maru exam. All of it is to test what area you'll be admitted into Starfleet. Entrances are timed to reduce wait time to do the activities and it never felt crowded. Here's my image getting ready to beam up. And if this plays correctly, it's my actual beam up. Turns out I'm Uhura and bound for Communications!
