Hmm, is a 22 year old listening to Crystal Method’s Vegas kinda the equivalent to me listening to Pink Floyd back when I was in college?

I got old somewhere along the line…

The Palo Verde nuclear power plant, the largest in the United States, was sealed off on Friday after security guards found a pipe bomb in a worker’s pickup truck as he tried to enter the facility, officials said.

…

The California Highway Patrol has shut down both northbound and southbound I-5 from the 52 to the 805 merge after a suspicious device was found on the side of the road. A suspect with a pipe bomb was taken into custody, and reportedly told police he threw at least one other on the side of the road. Bomb squad units are at the scene and plan to detonate the device.

I just heard two girls talking about mud wrestling in american flag bikinis…

… I should really just have Edmunds send my next paycheck to Capital One and not even look at how much I’ve spent this trip…

Oh, yeah, I got put in my place today… Gretchen’s mom asked me what I do, and I just couldn’t really explain it to her in a way she understood.. “so, you do html?”… noooo, I work more like with the operating system…. I don’t think she got it.

“So, you work with html?”
“Um… no, I, um… I push code to the web site.”
“So you’re a developer?”
“No, but sometimes I work with the developers! Sometimes…”
“What exactly do you do…?”
“I’m vital to this company! I have PEOPLE SKILLS, DAMNIT! WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!”

The highlight of the wedding had to be when the minister advised Gretchen and Christopher to be fruitful, then the two of them looking down at her (7 months pregnant) belly… We kept the laughter to a minimum.
