    What happened to the rain?

    Is anyone experiencing a rather spring like winter? Last year, we had rain out of the gazoo, but this year, it's been scarce. We're having a string of 70-75 degree days. It is super nice, but I don't know what that will mean for the summer. It's just a good thing we had some stockpiled from...

    Do you think there is any solution to how loud motorcycles run? We have a neighbor a few houses down and across the street with a bike and as soon as he starts it up, believe me, we hear it no matter where we are inside are closed up house.

    A/C Woes

    Chocolate - yum!

    I just love chocolate, especially milk chocolate. It's very distracting from the love of cars, especially when I'm sitting here with a Godiva bar in front of me. Are you a chocolate fiend too?

    DeLoreans

    I have to admit that I have a fondness for the short lived DeLorean. A lot of celebrities had those. I just loved the way the doors raised up. It was so space like.
