Batman Movie

Saturday, July 19, 2008 1 PM

AMC Tallahassee

VtS and I went to see the new Batman, the Dark Knight movie at the AMC theaters in Tallahassee, FL, USA. We had bought the ticket two weeks ago and the movie opened two days ago at midnight.

The movie was long 2 1/2 hours and it was okay. But VtS enjoyed it.

Today was the first day of the Saturday-at-the-Sea (SATS) Summer Camp for VTS. There were 12 other people who went to the camp. The camp is for a whole week and will end with a presentation to public about the camper’s project. Each project will have three or four people in it.

The day started out with some rain but VTS says the rest of the day went very well indeed. They all are looking for the rest of the days at the camp.

Replace the back door

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

Tallahassee, FL, USA

We went ahead and replaced the back door since part of it had rotten over the years and we were worried about frogs and beetles living the crack. We also added a screen door. All the work was done through Home Depot Door replacement service. We paid them and two contract workers came and completed the job over one afternoon. They have done a good job!

Heavy Downpour, Hail, Thunder and Lightning

Wednesday, June 25, 2008; 6-11 PM

Tallahassee, FL 32317

The rain started to come down around 5:30 PM. As we were driving home from work at the intersection of Miccosukee and Magnolia garbanzo  bean-sized hail started to fall on our car. The hail then quickly turned into heavy rain drops. But the rains stopped around 6:15 PM. We thought everything was OK.

Then around 9:45 it started again. This time around our neighborhood there was less of rain and hail but we couldn’t sleep due to the loud and constant rumbling of the thunder and almost blinding lightning. Most of the thunder and lightning seemed to be confined to the south and southeastern part of the Leon county. It went on and on for about 1 1/2 hour. Then it started rain slightly. When it was done it was almost 11:45 PM.

Hot air balloon over our neighborhood

Saturday, June 21, 2008 7:45 AM

Gardens of Weem Plantation

Tallahassee, FL 32317

We spotted a descending hot air balloon on early this morning. It looked like the balloon was touching some of the tree tops north of our neighborhood, Gardens of Weems Plantation. We could spot couple of people inside. Soon it landed near the east side of our neighborhood. One of my neighbors went and spoke to the riders. They mentioned to her that the winds were not good and therefore they decided to land sooner than they had anticipated.

Backyard with out fencing

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Tallahassee, Florida

Our backyard was open until today. But soon we will erect a fence to guard the backside. There was too much noise and light pollution from the road leading to our backyard. So soon this area will be covered with a 6 feet tall privacy wood fence.
