SD Pride 2011 — I hadda lotta funna!!
Friday night Lance and I were driving through the Hillcrest area and we both noticed the excitement in the air, almost like crackling electricity. Saturday we were in the parade with the Mission gathering Churchs’ contingent. Ours was near the last, at number E126. only about 10 from the end. So we ended up standing around waiting for about an hour and a half before we got to take our turn down the parade route. In 20 short minutes i saw a lot of beautiful people, made even more beautiful by the positive support everyone was showing our community.
Here is a small gallery of the photos i got from the weekend.
Memorial Day – Never Forget, Ever Honor!
HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY!!!!!
Happy Memorial Day
I will be downtown tomorrow at 10am for the annual parade, looking out especially this year for the gay service-members contingent.
A friend of mine asked me to send him a zip code. i live in 2 zip coeds, so i used Google Earth to create a KMZ tour file.
Old Mission Dam
Yesterday I took a little side-trip to Mission Trails Regional Park. I stopped off to see the park since I had not been there in a while. I also went to the dam and took some pics:

After i left there I somehow ended up at the Methodist Church center in Mission Valley trying to find the labyrinth I had heard so much about. I had been up there many times before, and looked up on the mountain where the bells are, all over in the bushes, in the memorial gardens, etc. I guess what I thought I was looking for was something more like a maze with hedges and stuff. So I went inside and asked someone who worked in the Church’s offices about it. They guided me right to it. I felt so silly when I realized that I had walked, driven, or biked right past it every time I had been up there. Here is a photo:

So as you can see, there is no hedge around it just a small 3-foot high wall all around it. If you would like to find it for yourself you can click here.
I saw Saturn’s rings last night.
I saw Saturn’s rings last night!
I was at Vacation Island at a bonfire with the San Diego POZabilities group
It was so cool. It has now taken me about a year or so to learn how to properly calibrate and setup my telescope. I have a Meade DS2090 90mm telescope. Last night i successfully aligned it to Regulus and Capella and then pretty much all I had to do next was select Saturn from the AutoStar’s hand controller and it went right to it.
Not what we saw, but pretty close
I let whomever wanted to look, check it out. Tonight i am going to setup in the middle of my street and see what i can see!!
If you would REALLY like to see some pics of objects in my telescope, please consider helping to sponsor my purchase of Meade’s Deep Sky Imager accessory. Just click on the link in the sidebar on the right and you can make a PayPal donation. The DSI costs $289.00. Its a CCD Cam that fits right into the eyepiece allowing for some very clear pics.
Anyway enough for now, i gotta go do things because I am sitting here sipping my coffee and now i am starting to feel it.
YAY!!! summer is here!

Later this month, i am going camping at Mount Laguna again. last years trip was REALLY cold but i am very hopefull that this years trip will be sunny and warm.
I got a new telescope last year, and spent all winter learning how to use it. Its been a lot of fun and very educational.
I promise i will be spending more time on this page, please come back again to see whats new in Deric’s Wacky World of Wonder.
I think my car just blew away!
Which way is it blowing?
I turned on the TV today and saw that New York was again stuck in the middle of a massive snow storm. Chrissy Russo from Fox5 News told me that it was going to be cold and windy today. Boy was she right! Right now its only 62 degrees, and the wind is blowing at 14 miles per hour. Brrrrrrrr!

Cabrillo National Monument is hosting its annual Whale Watch and Intertidal Life Festival on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The 24th annual event celebrates the Pacific gray whales and their return to local waters during their southbound migration to Baja California. The weekend will feature opportunities to watch for the leviathans and the chance to take guided tide-pool walks.
There also will be films; guest speakers sharing their expertise on a variety of marine-related subjects; and exhibitor booths filled with activities and information about whales, tide pools and local oceanic organizations.
All events are included with the regular park entrance fee of $5 per vehicle and $3 for motorcyclists, bicyclists and walk-ins.
Cabrillo National Monument is at the tip of the Point Loma Peninsula, just west of the city of San Diego.
