i just recieved a "warning" from the university (i live in uni-owned grad housing) because i was caught... get this.... WASHING MY CAR. well, SHIT....

Apparently, it is now ILLEGAL to wash your own car in Palo Alto, under the assumption that trace amounts of oil and heavy metals will be carried into drains and gutters, and on into the bay. Palo Alto Sewer Ordinance 16.09.106

i bet i'm the only stanford phd who came in a liberal, and will come out a conservative.

Grew up in Newport and Villa ("Vanilla") Park (OC). I left in 1982 at 14 years old. Other than visiting remaining familly, I never have missed it. There is nothing that would bring me back - regardless of politics. I replaced the smell of the beach and watching the guys in the Dory fishing fleet with getting off of a chair at the top of Vail. Don't get me wrong, I had a killer child hood - I miss the fire rings on the beach, I miss the time spent with friends scraping wax. It's just not the same as it was. In todays world would you let your 10 year old go under the pier after dark to pry of muscles to go fishing with? We used to on a regular basis.
I like the seasons here in CO, I love the outdoor lifestyle, and the people are very friendly for the most part. I am leaving the office at 3 today (friday) will be at the Dillon house by four, will take a couple of nite skiing runs, then fire up the BBQ. Tomorrow I'll be at Vail at 8am. We are expecting 10" of new snow up there tonight. Maybe throw down a bit of Goldschlager around 2:30 on the deck at Lionshead.
A perfect day...... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drunk.gif)

In a few monthes we will wax and store the skis and do the exact same things - only with a mountian bike or hiking boots - and a cold Fat Tire!
