I am very pleased that so many people are making comments on the blog!  Some of you might want to be able to personalize the little picture that appears next to your comments.  It’s very easy!  You have to go to a site called Gravatar.com.  This is a service that allows one centrally located avatar to be used any time you comment on anyone’s WordPress blog.  It’s pretty sweet.  You just create an account with the e-mail address you use for your blog commenting, upload a picture, and you are done!  Enjoy.

It’s so easy, even a caveman can do it!

Breakfast at the White Harte in Woodland Hills

I set myself up with an early morning project last Saturday of photographing all of the Woodland Hills marijuana stores that I could find.  That kind of hard work always generates some hunger for a delicious breakfast.  I remembered seeing a sign on the White Harte’s (22456 Ventura Blvd) exterior that they were now serving breakfast daily, so I figured I’d stop by.

The White Harte is of course an English pub, so the menu is littered with delicious and undoubtedly joyously artery clogging culinary delights like bangers and “Irish bacon rashers.”  I must confess I don’t even know what rashers are but perhaps I will try that next time after I check out their Wikipedia entry.

I decided to keep it simple and got the “Ham and Scrambled Eggs” which consisted of “3 Scrambled Eggs, smoked ham with shredded cheddar, fresh salsa and potatoes.”  They were actually quite delicious.  Also what was best about the experience was eating outside, street side on Ventura Blvd.  It’s nice to have a sidewalk-type breakfast every now and again, and the White Harte I think is a good destination for it.

Try it out!

Woodland Hills Man Shows Son How to Use Gunpowder to Blow Off Own Finger

Written by Girard on October 29, 2009 - 4 Comments
Categories: In The News

Um, okay well I hope whoever this happened to wasn’t one of my readers.  KTLA writes:

WOODLAND HILLS — A man attempting to demonstrate the dangers of gunpowder to his son blew off one of his fingers in a blast that also injured the boy, authorities said.

At first, the explosion in the 22900 block of Calvert Street in Woodland Hills was thought to be a shooting, said Los Angeles Fire Department Capt. Tom Sammartano.

But, it was a father-son lesson gone wrong.

The father somehow ignited the gunpowder while trying to demonstrate its dangers just before 10:45 p.m. Wednesday.

Arriving police and firefighters found a window in the home blown out, and a bomb squad was called in to check for any further dangers.

Investigators say the son suffered minor face injuries and possible loss of hearing. The father lost a finger in the blast.

Both were taken to a hospital for treatment.

I don’t have any kids (that I know of, knock on wood), but in my opinion the best way to keep your kid safe from the dangers of gunpowder is NOT TO HAVE ANY DAMN GUNPOWDER IN YOUR HOUSE.  Ya think?
