Live Aid.

(from Wicked Gay Blog)


It's hard to believe that 25 years ago today LIVE AID happened. I remember it clearly because I was stuck with my family on the return leg of a cross-country road trip from Los Angeles. My family had a 'thing' for doing stuff like this. Somehow we made the trip in 3 days going west and just a little bit longer coming back east. Trust me, it wasn't cute by the beginning of day 3. We won't discuss the rest stop whore baths in New Mexico. ANYWAY, because of the 2 family conversion van caravan we had going on with my cousins, I missed the original telecast. I was devasted. I TRULY WAS. LOL. I remember seeing clips of it here and there on TV after the fact, but in a time before DVR's it wasn't until many, many years that I've been able to see it in it's entirety.

Traffic court (cont'd.).

CASE DISMISSED!  The police officer who wrote me the ticket for 'Failure to yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk' was a no-show today.  I wonder if it was because the infraction happened way back in July?  It's amazing how you can legally delay paying those traffic fines ($256 + traffic school).   Hmmmm.  The wonders of red-tape working on your side!

Yayyy me.

Top down and chin(s) away.

What an unflattering angle, huh?  Anyway -- the sun was out and I was going stir crazy in the house this weekend.  I just had to pop the convertible top down and enjoy the afternoon!

GeoTag!

I found this neat application for my phone today that basically tracks your movements via GPS. It's great if you're a hiker or some kind of distance bike rider so you can share your 'travels' with everyone. Being that I will probably not do any of these activities anytime soon, I decided to take the Cabrio for a spin with the top down and cruise around. Oh yeah -- along the way you can tag specific events/places along the way. Any pictures or video taken can be uploaded separately and then the program will figure out where to place it on your map according to the GPS and/or timestamp signature. I started out in the top left and did a full circle of sorts. Check out what I did this afternoon:
