Ever wonder why water in bottles has an expiration date? It’s the plastic. It does bad things as it dissolves. Heard John and Ken talking about it this afternoon, while discussing emergency earthquake supplies.

You probably heard about the small fire in Griffith Park near the zoo yesterday. I couldn’t see it, but I knew something was up when helicopters started flying above our building and we started a-shaking.

I actually added a category yesterday called DWP. That’s sad.

Only H. David Nahai can save me now. By being the Superman I know he wants to be, and fixing up these egregious problems in Silver […]
