DUI Checkpoint
There was a DUI Checkpoint at 116th and Federal in Westminster Colorado last Friday night.
They were stopping all cars in the northbound lane, and asking them a few questions.
Go To Texas, Get Cowboy Boots
The boots I got look something like this. Note the square, lower heel.
Austin in August, Calgary in March. I really know how to pick the vacations I go on. Maybe I will go to Fairbanks in December for Christmas…
I have a huge backlog of photos to sort through. (Swimsuit Models in Garden of the Gods with Guns, lots of pictures were taken… And then there was that DUI Checkpoint I walked past as well.)
“A” and “The”
I was trying to explain the usage of articles, like “A” and “The”, and got to a very odd case: when I am talking about a license, the correct one is … none.
For example:
- I bought Doom
- I bought a copy of Doom
- I bout the last copy of Doom
(All should be grammatically correct, but mean different things.)
More Shopping…
Since I have an oven and stove, it seems like I keep buying stuff to cook with.
Hopefully my rate of buying stuff slows down, but it seems like it is just going to get more expensive. (Computer, PS3, etc.)
Black Box
“Black Box Testing” is testing a system without knowledge of the contents.
At work, I use “black box” to refer to a sub-system that I don’t (at that moment) care how it works.
This Black Box might be more interesting, though…
Bike Rides
I have done a bit of bike riding these past 2 weekends, taking advantage of the fairly extensive bike path system that Westminster has.
This is south-west of here, near Stanley Lake, about 45 minutes away (on bike)
Avaya Building
This is across the street from where I work, made a nice landmark when I drove to work.
All Systems Green!
