Lots of rain this past weekend.  1.54 inches to be exact and the precipitation race is starting to be a run away. 

 This month we see a rapid rise in temperatures in the area.

I'm pretty sure my friend adubya that moved to NY to be with his loved one (while abandoning his male friends) will either have these OR , has them already - Google Glasses. A augmented reality wearable computer with a head-mounted display.  Hey - I would have them in a second if they cost $25.  However there is one small problem.

A bar in Seattle has posted a message on their FB page

"For the record, The 5 Point is the first Seattle business to ban in advance Google Glasses. And  ass kickings will be encouraged for violators."

Of course he will probably wear this on the golf course to find yardage WHILE wearing an UnderArmor touchscreen T-Shirt which is still a year away.

Fascinating interview with inventor of UnderArmor - wow - talk about a guy with an idea that became a billionair in 10 years.

An NFL football player said a t-shirt weights 6 ounces dry but 2 pounds wet.  Why not build a t-shirt out of woman's lingerie that will not soak up water.  Now - he is getting close to challenging Nike for market share.


BUT WAIT - there is more - how about a dress that turns clear when you get turned on.  Wait . . I suppose it's when SHE gets turned on and is made out of opaque smart e-foils. When the body gets excited and the heart races, the coils turn clear.

 I don't know - I think there might be some draw backs on this idea.  I'm not exactly sure how well this will sell.

How about this little baby!

This will take a photo every 30 seconds ALL DAY LONG!!   careful in the bathroom!

If you are looking for what we (Dj and I) have been up too . . .we are boring.   The fun news is that we are ordering a few trees this year.  A Black Hills Spruce for the south corner of our lot since the golf course decided to let the Japanese beetles kill their tree so there is an opening.

This is a wonderful little woods we are creating. Our neighbors have 2 trees, the golf course still have two and we will have 3 birch and a spruce.  A bird haven and golf ball stopper.  Another Heritage River Birch will be added to the back yard.  Plus on the east side of our house we're putting another Summer Ninebark, three Neon Flash Spireas and two Fineline Buckhorns.  The east side finally gets worked on this year.

Then we're going to move one of our Goldmound Spirea from the bottom of the deck to the corner and add another clematis going up the deck.

McKay's had a suggestion for three French Lace Weigela but those need full sun (at least 6 hours) and I think they are stretching the position so that spot still needs some ideas. The problem is that  Fineline Buckhorns might look weird all by themselves. I'll have to see how much sun that area gets.

So that's the plan.
