Mission Mission

Vegemite, cheese, dough. An Aussie delicacy, custom-made just for AUSTRALIA DAY MATE!

And the techies complained for years.

New promo from the newest ape planet movie.

Whenever I see a cool car around the neighborhood, I take pictures and send them to my pal Eric up in Portland who runs Other People’s Things, my favorite car blog. He responds with some knowledge and we post the results here and it’s called “Car Beat.” Here’s what Eric has to say about this little beauty:

That’s a nice car you found, looks to me like a Studebaker Lark Convertible. Very nice. Probably one of the most versatile designs from Studebaker, it had a ton of different variations; they even used the front end from the B-pillar forward in their pickup truck, the Champ.

Thanks, Eric!

And now:

New this week at the Dear Mom Kitchen. Bomb.

Just to make you all remember who’s really in control!

• Honestly, the only way for the protesters to get the Google bus out of the Mission is for them to stage a pedestrian getting run over by one
• The Google Bus: “If you want an iPhone, a Facebook profile, and Google Maps, this is part of the price you’ve gotta pay”
