...Although, since I did pick up a Chocolate Covered(!) Lemon Bar and a Chocolate-Dipped Apricot Linzer Cookie from Something Sweet...

...And a Vegan Red Velvet Cupcake from Pinisi Bakery...

...And a Chocolate Chip and Gingerbread Cookie from birdbath/City Bakery...

Well...

*And, believe it or not, all said baked goods made it home intact, and they only thing consumed so far has been the Marshmallow-Chocolate Chip-Cornflake Cookie.  -I actually found myself buying things tonight mainly for photographic purposes.  ::)

Oh...

And after my Pumpkin Horchata, Steamed Pork Buns, and Bouchot Mussels (w/Miso Garlic Sausage, Black Kale, Fennel and Red Chili Pepper), I thoroughly enjoyed a "twist" of Quince and Smoked(!) Maple Soft Serve Ice Cream.

Good night!

beautiful pics, Jane!  Congratulations to the happy couple.


Maybe I missed it, but was there a reason that they decided on a small home wedding?

DR Ann, Ioana's family, basically her mother & stepfather, are in Romania so they wanted a small wedding.  They had planned to get married in Greece, with her family there, but the timing never worked & Craig still needs to find a job.

The worst that could happen is that my insurance company will have to settle with him, but I don't want to.  Also, neither he nor his son nor me nor my passenger was harmed in any way - it will be interesting to see if he goes down THAT road, what with being an attorney and all.

Good Luck! Insurance law is tricky - rarely is any driver held blameless for an accident at an intersection; the presumption is that every driver is responsible for assuring that the intersection is clear for passage. Regardless of the reasons, you surely can be charged with a failure to yield. I am amazed you left the scene without calling the police - and if the combined damge to your car and his is greater than $750 (which at today's prices is a scratched bumper) you must make a DMV report.

If you gathered no witness statements (your passanger doesn't count) it will be a "he said - she said" event. For your sake, I hope the other guy doesn't wake up tomorrow claiming whiplash.

I just watched a movie on my netbook from the Netflix watch it now (or whatever they call it) although the screen is very small it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  I'm not going to mess with a viewer to watch them on my TV unless the selection gets better or I decide to watch them more often

Oh no, Sherlock was a very good boy.  He attempted to sniff the cake & we said "leave".  He almost shoved his nose in Ioana's bouquet-lol.  I'll have to post the funny photo of Craig's expression when Sherlock almost caught his tail on fire passing it through the flame of one of the candles.

Well that won't work with Fletcher! When he is about to get into trouble he is not looking for hand signals.

He made off with a mouthful of chicken bones before I could stop him - which of course earned him the added treat of a soft dinner roll to help cushion the bone.

He can claim whatever he likes, I suppose.  I'm insured.  And I'm sorry, I just visited the intersection - and since there was a car stopped in the left AND right lanes, it means he had to have come around them in a non-lane where cars park, in a clear attempt to try and get ahead of people - only he didn't understand that cars were STOPPED and he wasn't even in a LANE.

For DR Matt Hough or anyone else who knows about Blu Ray

I was watching LOST (Disc 3). Turned it off and came back to it later. It would not load up. I tried another Blu Ray Disc and a DVD and the both worked, It thought my Lost discs somehow were defective so I exchanged them. Same thing I could load them. I then tried Mama Mia which worked yesterday, but today would not work.

I have the latest firm ware. I have turned off the machine. Turn it back on. It would not get past loading disc.

very strange. some work some don't.

any ideas? any suggestions?

What kind of player are you using, if you don't mind my asking? Some are crankier than others. (My PS3 has never given one second of trouble, and the Samsung 1500's latest firmware fixed the only problem I've ever had with it: not loading FOR YOUR EYES ONLY past the FBI warnings.)

The Blu-rays of LOST (and GREY'S ANATOMY) use that system that is supposed to keep track of which episodes you've watched and which you haven't. It's supposed to save your place when you stop before finishing a disc. The system worked flawlessly on both my players, so I really have no clue what's wrong.

Next time this happens, don't just try turning off the player. Try unplugging it and leaving it off for a bit. I'm not saying that will help, but it can't hurt, and it certainly reset my Toshiba HD-DVD player when I did that.

I have a Sony 300.

Lost and Mama Mia both worked earlier on my player. I took them over to a friend's player and they work. Tried two other  Blus --Mad Max 2 and 2001 They work. I tried regular DVD and they work. But when I put in Lost or Mamma  is will say loading in the upper left corner. I wait a while another happens and I press the top menu button, play flashes for a moment and then  the blue loading bar shows up at bottom of the screen and then just keeps on loading and loading

Might he have been intending to turn right (onto the same street you were headed for)?

Off to pick DS Bryan's fiancee, Kate, up at the airport.  We think the road will be ok to drive up tonight.  Just in case I'm taking a flashlight.

Nope, he was clearly trying to go around other cars and NOT looking where he was going or what was happening around him.  The proof of that, of course, is that I only clipped the BACK of his car after he PASSED me.
