ImageNow that springtime is here in sunny CA, my thoughts turn to warm weather endeavors. Naturally, this includes the almighty barbeque, which provides the foundation for most warm weather meals. Life in CA does quite seem right without at least one BBQ per week.

Years ago, I used to use starter fluid. It really is the easiest method of lighting charcoal. Just squeeze the can for about 5 seconds, get a match, throw it on the pile of soaked coals, and stand back. Head for cover is closer to the truth. I suppose starter fluid isn’t the safest way to go. It has such a heavenly aroma, though. It reminds me of airplane glue. Your neighbors get all these added benefits, too. Notice how they smile when they head inside for clean air.

Fortunately, we have other far better ways to start those coals. For many years I have used an electric starter.

While these are the cleanest way to go, it does take some extra effort. You have to pile the coals over the heating element, and find an electrical outlet nearby. It might be challenging because you’ll have to find an extension cord. Be careful when you have to remove the heater from the coals. They are hot and could send a few sparks your way.

Lately I have tried the newspaper “chimney” starters that are new on the market.

ImageI’m not really complaining. I like having such a great high-tech electronics and computer gadget store just a few blocks from my home. For the most part, prices are very good. The great selection of electronic stuff is practically hypnotic..

However, the majority of the sales help and customer service is terrible at Fry’s. I have witnessed people receiving exactly the opposite of the advice I would give to the same question. One thing is certain, you must already know what you want before you go into the store. Asking a question is not an option there. Unless you want to hear some nice BS.

Fry’s runs these huge full-page ads almost every day in the SJ Mercury that are often just too good to pass up. Funny thing is that the majority of the time, when you go inside the store and look for the items on sale, the shelves are empty.

ImageI don’t pay much attention to celebrities. They’re an amusing way to pass time in a Saturday afternoon grocery store checkout lane sometimes. My attention span concerning them is almost as long as it is for fast-food employees. In fact, I probably pay more attention to fast-food workers. I don’t eat film. Terrible indigestion. Tom Cruise, however, is somewhat more interesting than the run-of-the-mill Hollywood personification because he seems to have become rabid.

It all begins some 95,000,000 years ago with the establishment of the Galactic Confederation.

Back then Earth was known as Teegeeack (pronounced: T-G-Ack! ?), and several million “people” (178 million per planet, on average) were brought to the planet we now call home.

Xenu, as Darth Sidious was once known, implanted these people with invalid circuitry in order to curb a population explosion. Fortunately, Xenu (or, perhaps, Xemu) was captured by the Loyal Officers who quickly placed him within an electronic prison on some mountain somewhere. While Xenu remains within his electric cell, some others up and disappeared. Who those others are is unclear; L. Ron Hubbard denotes them as “they.”
