Day Before

Well, it’s the night before the 25th, and you know what that means.
A last minute scramble to the grocery store because I forgot that they’ll be closed tomorrow.  I think I do this before every major holiday.
But before I go, I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holidays.

She’s the one

Yep, if ever you need to blame thank anyone for all the fine, high class content that you enjoy here at Lots of Monkeys dot com, there really is only one person you need to think about.

The humidity was a shock, having lived in California for my entire life.  [...]

Electronic Scarecrow

I still don’t see how this is recommended for me. 

Really, what does this say about my buying habits?
Video games, and uh, video games?  Is this the best you can come up with, Amazon? Really?
Is that all you got, Bezos?  Really?  An Electronic Scarecrow?!
Let’s see here.  Well, it is a humane way to scare off [...]
