February 25, 2010 by Dooley
Ah, the things I see when I walk around this beautiful city.
This woman is going to jail. She was clearly drunk.
As they took her out of the car, I heard her screaming (from several blocks away, mind you) “I WANT ALL YOUR BADGE NUMBERS, MY DADS A COP AND YOU’RE ALL GONNA BE FIRED
I really enjoy my morning walks.
Bad Ideas in Motion
February 22, 2010 by Dooley
This is wrong on SO many levels.
Really, a moving TELEVISION SCREEN with advertising? How many accidents will THIS thing cause?
Sorry for the poor quality picture – this was snapped at a red light, through the window, using a cellphone. It gets the point across.
This is just dangerous, and just plain dumb.
I think this needs some serious legislation to get these dangerous vehicles off the street.
Hello world!
January 22, 2010 by DooleyTime to start Blogging again, and I decided to move to WordPress, so here we are!
Most of the images are missing, but I have backups of most, and will be replacing them soon enough!
Frogo is FroGONE
September 25, 2009 by Dooley
So, this store opened up some time last year. I drove by, and saw their new store selling frozen yogurt, and decided to stop in and check it out.
I parked my car in front, but I did not have change for the parking meter. Now, this is Santa Monica. The meter police have this keen sense of smell, and they can sniff out when a meter is expired, and pounce before you can blink!
So, I run into the store, and ask for change of a dollar.
They refused. Sorry, we can’t give you change.
“But I want to buy, but I can’t leave my car out there”
“Find another spot, there’s parking in the back” (Note: There was no sign indicating parking in the back) so again I reasoned with them, that I did not want to move my car, I’m already parked. I don’t want them to pay for my parking, just take my dollar and give me four quarters, so I would be able to put one in the meter!
Again they refused, and I hastily told them, “Well if that’s how you treat customers, good luck with your business” and I left.
Now here it is, less than a year later.
And they’re closed.
They weren’t even in business long enough to take down their “Grand Opening” signage, and now they’re gone.
It just goes to show you. If you treat your customers poorly, you won’t have customers. And they were not very nice to their customers.
Did I mention that they’re closed, out of business? Even before the honeymoon was over?
I hate to say it, but….
I told you so!
An Audition followed by a Geocache
July 28, 2009 by DooleyOkay, it's been a while since my last Blog entry, but its time to start Blogging again, and I will start with a story from today…
I came down to So, So, So, And, So, So, I I added my own, and also signed "The All Access Karaoke Crew" Now the cameras were off, and we walked back to the production office, and I left. One thing for sure…. They will NOT forget my audition! Thanks for a fun cache, a VERY unique hide, and a great story to go home with. This is what Geocaching is all about. Oh, and here's what the show is all about if you're interested: All Access Karaoke
Escondido for an audition. I was auditioning to be the host of a new TV
show coming out this fall, "All Access Karaoke"
as I usually do when I'm traveling, I pull up Geocache Navigator on my
blackberry, and as I go in for my audition, I notice there's a cache
1/10 of a mile away. Cool, I'll get this after the audition.
during the interview, before I did my lines, the producers asked me
about myself, so I mention my hobbies, including Geocaching. And of
course, the inevitable "What is that?" Well, I go into an explanation,
and they are fascinated about it. I told them that there's even one
right near their production office, less than 600 feet away.
on with the audition (I was nervous, and it showed, so we'll see how it
pans out, but I had fun doing it. Maybe I'm being too critical, and it
wasn't bad.. We'll see if I get a callback)
since I was the last audition of the night, they asked me if I was
going to look for that cache, and I told them of course! So, they asked
if they could tag along and tape it.
off we go! I pop the coords into my Garmin (I much prefer to use the
navigation on the Garmin if I have it, rather than the blackberry) and
off we go…. The producers, cameraman and PA… And now I'm in *MY*
natural environment, talking up a storm about geocaching…. I show
them the lamppost we pass on the way, and show them that many caches
are under the "lamp skirt" and show them how it lifts….. Then I read
the difficulty and see it's a D-3, and it's at night no less!!! How
embarrassing would it be if I don't find this cache????? And to top it
off, the last cacher logged a DNF…. Let's look at more logs… Phew!
It was found just over a week ago.
the flashlight going, and more eyes looking, I notice something that
was, to put it best, something that should be there, but maybe not.
Without spoiling the cache for the rest, let's just suffice it to say
that BINGO! I found the cache. "Got it!!"
unrolled the log (which by the way needs a new plastic baggie – it's
all ripped but the log is in good shape) and I showed it to the
cameraman, who Wow'ed at how many people signed it….. Then I flipped
it over to show the REST of the signatures. 
And here's a link to the Cache page: Tower of Power
Buying allergy pills can cause Identity Theft
November 20, 2008 by DooleySo, in order to buy my allergy medication (Zyrtec-D) I had to give up all the information necessary for identity theft.
They punched in my name, address, date of birth, Driver License number, and expiration date. Everything except my Social Security number, which someone who stole this information could get it.
How secure is this database? Will I be receiving yet ANOTHER one of those “We lost our data backup tapes, but here’s three free months of privacy guard” letters?
